   Skype 5.8.0.865

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Updating to version 5.8.0.865, [1]Skype for Mac adds several user
   interface improvements as well as support for the upcoming release of
   OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. The update includes an improved Contacts
   Monitor (which can be more compactly resized when using other
   applications), automatic reorientation of mobile video calls when the
   mobile devices switches between landscape and portrait views, the
   addition of a keyboard shortcut for controlling volume, and an SMS
   button in the conversation input field. Skype Premium subscribers will
   also get improved screen sharing with the addition of simultaneous
   video call and screen sharing views. For a complete overview of the
   improvements, see this [2]Skype Garage blog post for the release notes.
