0), #thank you for the new version of skype that is 8.25.0.5 it is good but ,
how to manage history?
deleting all history in on e click?
no history to be saved?
thank you
+1207), # ↑+179), # ↑BTW, it's interesting that this version installs on the latest version of Win10 without setting compatibility first. I wonder when that happened? That's a sign, to me, that the UWP version is going away.
+1207), # ↑As far for this versions on Windows 10 — I noticed this thing some days ago. I think this is due to the fact that Support for classic Skype will be ending in September 2018.
+179), # ↑On history, to be clear, you're saying that you can install Skype on a new machine, or a new Windows profile, where are there no previous Skypes, login, and see that an entire year of Skype history is eventually synced? If so, that has to be rather new. The only thing I've seen about a year was recently in a section of the FAQ pertaining to the upgrade from 7.x. I thought it pertained specifically to that process only, but apparently not.
Will I lose any conversation history when I upgrade?
Your conversation history from the last year will be displayed in the upgraded client. Older history will be transferred to a local file on your machine
+1207), # ↑As for history, yes, I tested it on a clean virtual machine (thus, Skype was not installed before). In my case Skype allowed me to see messages up to August 7, 2017. If I remember it right, after one year I will still see the history up to this date.

I'm using windows 10 on a desktop. I know that you've made it more like windows 10, but that's not an advantage!
+1207), # ↑+12), # ↑yes, you are right, I've mistaken that (didn't notice the small letters at the top "unofficial blog"). Sorry
Meanwhile I'm back to version 7.40.0.104
+1207), # ↑But do not worry, you are always welcome!
By the way, I recommend to use 7.41.0.101 (at least because it doesn't have an built-in Updater, so you will not have any surprises). On other hand, there are some bad news: Support for classic Skype will be ending in September 2018.

I can no longer choose from a variety of sounds eg. when one of my contacts goes on or off line etc.

With Skype from Microsoft, it only gets worse.

and where to find the menu bar

+1207), # ↑0), #+1207), # ↑0), #I have a question, how come Skype 8.25.0.5 is not asking for a password everytime open the program?
In the prior version it required a password every time i logged in.
At work we often move to different stations depending on work demand.
When i work on a different station, whom ever is sitting at my original station can open skype and it automatically logs me in. This is a pain.
What is the solution for this.

I even try to do search in default apps but 8.25.0.5 version does not appear and no setting on the actual application. Anyone found a way to work this in?

Thanks
+11), #+3), # ↑But now, Skype doesn't let me split the chat windows from the contacs, so i have to interrupt all my work just for read the messages in a full size window totally unnecessary. if it's going to be that way, I better use messenger chat, weight less than skype.
+179), # ↑However, if you're on Win10, the very similar version that you can install from the Store, DOES.
