Skype 4.2.0.13 - minor release with long-awaited fix
After 8 months since the previous release, a new minor version of Skype is coming out. It would seem, why write about it in habrahabr, because the version is minor? In fact, this is probably one of the most important updates in recent years:
Added workaround for PulseAudio 3.x and 4.x wheezing
PulseAudio is now in almost any default distribution, and in my memory, Skype is the only application that worked poorly with it. Constant wheezing, rustling, crackling. I hope this will not happen again.
This is not the only change in the new version:
Fixed a rare application crash when opening a chat due to a nonexistent smiley
Fixed crash on Ubuntu / Debian x86_64 due to missing libasound2-plugins dependency: i386
