Looks like I got lucky and got the updated version this morning, March 8,
but, I have not opened it up yet, just read the blurb from iTunes.

Subject: New Skype Update is in the App Store

 

Hi Listers,

 

There is a new Skype update, here are the 4 things they mention in the
"What's New" section:

 

Beautiful New Calling Experience

Mark all your recent chats as read with just a few taps

General Fixes and Improvements

One-to-One chats now appear in the correct order

 

I just installed the new update and had a quick look and I don't see any
major issues. The DialPad is still working fine and if you are in the Recent
tab there is now a new button at the top right called "Tick". If you double
tap it you are asked if you want to mark all recent chats as read and you
can also choose "Yes, don't ask again" which means the next time  you double
tap on the Tick button it will just go ahead and mark all recent chats as
read.

 

When you are on a call it appears the bottom row of buttons has been
rearranged a bit. The End Call button now seems to be by itself just above
the Home Key which is nice because it's very easy to find it.

Right above it are now the Speaker, Mute, DialPad and Show Options buttons. 

If you want to switch to speakerphone just double tap on "Speaker" it will
then say that it is selected and you can now actually flick left and get to
"Earpiece" and "Speakerphone", double tap on Speakerphone and the call will
switch to speakerphone.

I think in previous versions you had to find these buttons by sliding your
finger around after tapping on the button.

 

I think it's safe to upgrade in any case, but if you want extra insurance
you can always make a copy of the current Skype app in your Mobile Apps
folder in iTunes Media and that way you could get back to the previous
version.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard
