Good morning: I would be interested to hear AI Squared's input/clarification on the following message I received when opening Skype this morning. This was within the pop-up alert I received upon opening Skype.
"...due to technology improvements we are making to the Skype experience, some features of the API will stop working with Skype for desktop. For example, delivery of chat messages using the API will cease to work. However, we are happy to share that we will be extending support for two of the most widely used features – call recording and compatibility with hardware devices – until we determine alternative options or retire the current solution. These changes to the Desktop API will not impact any core Skype features, and your Skype for desktop clients will continue to be supported as we release new features and improvements to enhance your Skype experiences. Please continue to share feedback about the Skype experience and what features you would like to see us enable in the product on the Skype community , on Twitter , or on Facebook .. We value the input of our developers and users as we continue to improve the Skype experience." My impression was that chat is one of the most widely used, and hence core features of Skype. Other than actually making Skype calls, chat is the only feature of the program I use. Does the Window-Eyes app use the API to deliver the chat information? If so, how will this change affect the Skype Enhanced app? Thanks. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only. If your reply would benefit others on the list and your message is related to GW Micro, then please consider sending your message to [email protected] so the entire list will receive it.
