> As usual, I have a few things to say about this release:
>
> First, the name of this release is 4b3a, not the likely expected 4b5.
> This is explained in the release notes on my web site.
>
> My advice on who should try Skype 4 beta has changed a bit.  Until
> now, I have recommended that only the most daring should try this.
> Now though, I recommend that anyone who wants to contribute to the
> accessibility of the next major Skype release try it, as long as the
> following warnings don't make this unwise for you.
> To tantalize some of you, I'll point out that it appears to be
> possible in Skype 4.0 beta 3 to add people to a conference even if
> you're not the host!  This feature, sometimes called "answer/join" by
> fans of it from the Skype 2.0 days, has been absent for a very long
> time.
>
> For anyone interested in trying Skype 4:
>
> 1.  Read my web site page about this script release,
>
>    http://www.dlee.org/skype/skype4.php
>
> I am likely to update that page from time to time.  Some of it may
> already be slightly out of date in fact.  I must stress, though, that
> you could get some big surprises if you try installing these scripts
> without first reading that page.
>
> 2.  Be aware that SkypeWatch is not supported in Skype 4 at this time.
> More about this on the above page.  I'm trying to get Skype to fix
> this issue internally.
>
> 3.  Be prepared to return to Skype 3 if you need it for something
> specific that is not in Skype 4.  Sadly, this would include the hot
> keys such as Alt+PageUp to answer calls, as these are still not
> implemented in Skype 4.
>
> 4.  If all that didn't scare you off, grab the scripts from the URL I
> gave earlier, grab Skype 4.0 beta 3 directly from skype.com or from
> wherever you normally go, and give it all a whirl.
>
> 5.  Report any problems you have to this list and also on the Jira bug
> reporting site for Skype, which is at
>
>    https://developer.skype.com/jira/
>
> I ask this so that Skype developers and management can see
> the number of blind users who are trying to use their product.  When
> writing to Skype directly, keep in mind that they already know
> accessibility is important.  This is about showing them numbers of
> people, as priorities are often affected by such numbers.  In other
> words, be nice, but you don't have to be quiet. :)
