Skype 2.1 Beta for Linux


The new beta version of Skype for Linux brings extra features and better sound and video quality. What still lacks behind is the UI, which was redone for Mac and Windows a while back.

What's new:
◦ Skype's SILK codec for outstanding sound quality
◦ High Quality Video
◦ PulseAudio
◦ Send SMS messages
◦ Organise your contacts with contact groups
◦ Improvements to chat (typing indicator, new emoticons and message editing)
