Earlier this week Skype announced a new Skype 2.6 beta release for Windows. Two new features:
- Skypecasts controls are now directly available within the Skype client
- A bandwidth indicator is enabled via the Advanced Options (Tools|Optiions|Advanced)
However, the most interesting for partners is this line in the announcement:
For developers, there’s a feature here that has been requested a lot: you can turn off the visible Skype UI through the API now. For more info on this, please stay tuned for updates on our developer zone and the developer blog.
As Alec Saunders points out, this is Silent Skype where developers can turn off the visible Skype UI.. Is this on the path to the long requested Naked Skype where developers can build around a core Skype engine?
Skype’s Developer Program has launched a developer newsletter. But it begs the question as to why it is simply a traditional web page as opposed to being published with RSS feeds for those who want automatic updates and all the other benefits of RSS use.
