Subject: Skype 4.0 for Windows hotfix
We have released a hotfix today for Skype 4.0 for Windows.
In this new release we have fixed numerous issues found in the original gold
version of Skype 4.0.
I would like to suggest that everyone upgrades to this version.
Download it now <http://www.skype.com/go/getskype> .
This version fixes the following major problems:
some games minimized when started while Skype was running
users sometimes got Disk I/O errors
installing Skype sometimes failed in the United States when users had Firefox
as their default browser
problems with compact view window positioning
Please continue to let us know if you run into any problems while using Skype.
Just comment on this blog post or talk about it in the forum
<http://forum.skype.com/> . Alternatively, if you're a bit more
technically-minded, log an issue report on our public issue tracker, Jira
<https://developer.skype.com/jira/> .
