I have finally put out a new Skype script release, revision 618. The details, which are many, are at my web site,
http://www.dlee.org/skype/ This release is for Skype 3.5 and up but will probably work for Skype 3.2 also. I did not test farther back. The release is for JAWS 6.0 and up. There are details on my web site about why I am now only going back to JAWS 6.0, but the short version is that it is getting more and more difficult to do everything in so many JAWS versions at once without slowing down both the maintenance and updating of the code and the actual running of the code on users' machines. Major new features include - Typing alert sounds and announcements in Skype chat windows as for other messengers but with five volume levels for the typing sound, - On-the-fly Skype Command Mode key change support, - Semi-automatic SkypeWatch maintenance after a JAWS update, - Reporting of incoming Skype Prime payment requests, - Better handling of Options/Hotkeys checkboxes, and - A SkypeWatch alert list that does not clear every time you restart JAWS. Other minor fixes and additions: - HTML escapes not lost when copying URLS from chats to clipboard from the JAWS virtual buffer. - Some spurious beeps eliminated. - The "Automatically speak your online status" verbosity option actually works (before, you couldn't really turn it off). - The JAWSKey+V keystroke is now in Hotkey Help as it should be. I am also now managing the code for the executable installer, which includes these fixes: - "JAWSMemDmp" no longer appears as a language choice during installation. This directory is sometimes created by JAWS when it crashes or is aborted by the user but has nothing to do with language support. - A missing sound file for Skype Command mode exit is now included. - Binary (jsb) files are not included in the installer but are instead generated during installation. Compilation during installation (using the executable installer) is no longer optional. The jsb files are currently still included in the zip file though. -- Doug Lee dgl at dlee.org SSB BART Group doug.lee at ssbbartgroup.com http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "The U. S.
