Skype 4.0 for Windows hotfix
I’m writing to let you know about a newly released build of Skype 4.0 for Windows.
With this new build we have fixed some issues which have made Skype 4.0 for Windows to behave unexpectedly.
We would recommend that all users upgrade to the new version.
If you notice something unexpected, please let us know about it. Feel free to comment on this blog post, discuss on our forums or submit issue reports to our public issue tracker.
Full list of changes for 4.0.0.226 is:
* bugfix: Extras Manager was not installed to some users

* bugfix: Video did not always scale correctly
* bugfix: Skype occasionally crashed when uPnP port forwarding failed
* bugfix: Improved uPnP handling for Linksys WRTG54G owners

* All localizations updated
Recently I could not log in to skype although my account on web was active…I had an older version of skype (sorry do not have the info now) – so downloaded 4.2.0.169 about a week ago – then could log in OK. Today I tried to make a skype to skype call for first time since installing and my mic does not work – been through all the set-up tips – no joy. A USB mic works OK…very strange. Is this an issue with normal plug in 3.5 mm jack mic with this version – I’ve seen other posts with same problem? Is there a fix or new version coming out to fix this problem?
