Skype 3.8 Ready for Download

[engine]

Skype 3.8 is ready for download, and they claim enhanced sound quality along with some bug fixes. Supposedly, switching audio components should also be easier.

Added - a colleague tells me it's getting memory hungry. Worth checking, methinks.

It is indeed a little high on the RAM usage. I upgraded and Skype is now using 56MB (idle) compared to about 36MB that the previous version used. Not a big deal on this computer, but I don't intend to upgrade on my laptop.

Ever since I installed their updates to the latest version I have had a few problems (somewhat bizarrely) with Outlook.

The other day whenever I exited Skype, Outlook just closed. Same thing happened today.

Very strange.

If it's an option for you, try turning off Outlook contacts in Skype.

Thanks for the suggestion but no it is not that as I always opted out for that.

This problem only started with the latest update.
