I'm waiting for a good reason to push it as an update. And people can test it there. But so long i have no good reason to push it as an update. It's stability + bugfix release but also adds new features. Not sure about security problems. There are probably some of those too but MS won't tell.

Comment 4 Michael Martins 2012-09-04 22:03:09 CEST

In version 2.2.0.35, when it minimizes the window, the video of another person gets all blurry and only the audio is not harmed. So I tested the 4.0.0.8, and saw that is normal. Same minimizing, the video is not harmed.

Comment 5 Sander Lepik 2012-09-04 23:27:37 CEST

Ok, then we have at least some improvements. From my own testing 4.0.0.8 is a lot more stable than previous versions were. But i think we need more testers to push it into updates. So long people with problems can test 4.0 to see if it fixes their problems.

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-09-04 23:37:47 CEST

if you don't ask people you will never see result (except exception like this bug)

Comment 7 Michael Martins 2012-10-16 18:27:58 CEST

I am using this version 4.0.0.8 for some time now, and is normal, without bugs. I think I could release the update, since the old version, it's kinda buggy.

Comment 8 Michael Martins 2012-11-17 18:33:13 CET

Released Skype 4.1.0.20

Comment 9 Manuel Hiebel 2013-11-22 22:50:47 CET

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result and as this bug is fixed in mga3 we are closing it.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
