Skype for Mac 1.4.0.49 Released

Skype for Mac 1.4.0.49 released today, which is the first Universal build of Skype. Universal means that Skype now runs natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers, boosting the performance of Skype running on Intel Macs.

1.4.0.49 also includes support for web presence, which allows you to showcase your online status on the web or in an email signature.

To activate web presence, go to Preferences -> Privacy, and tick the box saying ‘Allow my status to be shown on the web’. More info about web presence here.

Finally, Skype has been translated into Traditional Chinese for this version. More languages to follow in upcoming releases.
