   Skype 6.2.73.1117

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Skype adds an e-gifting option to [1]Skype 6.2.73.1117 that enables you
   to send Skype credit to a contact ' however, it seems this gifting
   possibility only occurs on a contact's birthday. The Mac client also
   adds the capability to send a one-way SMS message without having to
   first add and verify your mobile number, fixes a hang that occurred
   when signing out with a Facebook account, and ensures Skype credit
   amount is the same in both the main Skype window and in the account
   window. Skype also notes that the app may crash for those running a
   MacBook Pro with a Retina display with a non-Retina external display,
   and the company promises a fix for the next release. For the time
   being, the best workaround is to select Skype in your Applications
   folder, press Command-I to open Get Info, and then check the "Open in
   low resolution" option. (Free, 37.4 MB, [2]release notes)
