I am using skype each day and I was waiting for a new version for linux. Here it is 1.4.0.74 beta.
Installation was simple:
apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-gui<br></br>dpkg -i skype-1.4.0.74.deb
First problem, aparently the old configuration does not work since at login I get a “Database error” so from start all the history is lost
mv .Skype/ .Skype.old
Then the interface is completely new yet instead of new functionality the group configuration is now missing so all my contacts are now in the same list with no (apparent) way of grouping them together. I wait to see if the sound problems are now gone. Overall I am not impressed with the rearrangement of all thinks as I was expecting more functionalities instead.

Happy to say that I’ve tried 1.4.0.118 and it seems to work perfectly. Only the group information is gone but the sound is ok. I don’t quite like the interface however.

After 20 minutes of trying to make the sound recording work I gave up and installed the 1.3.53 version back.
