is the last skype for linux version compatible with the latest dbus versions 0.6x?
The skype for linux api test program is incompatible.

0.23!

Skype 1.3 will drop dbus and use X to send messages:

skype 3.1 (NDA?)???!?! hey mr pkolmann, you shouldn't tell such half-true tales. look twice where you've been looking, (i think:)d-bus will be supported still (though a rather obsolete useless version). or they change policy just another time (like they did since last year, or ever since epoch). seems to me you're over-optimistic. you've seen the "10.. 9.. 8..", it stops there! stay cool and watch (not) anything to happen.

cheers

Yes, and the reason they are doing that is that the only developer they have working on this does not understand d-bus or it seems a whole lot of other common linux technologies.

D-bus is at a very mature stage now, it is a freedesktop standard, soon will be part of the LSB and will be supported both by KDE and Gnome. Now tell me again why they are dropping D-bus?

Skype for Linux is a non-existent piece of vaporware that used to run on a proprietary network. Wake up and smell the coffee. In fact, the tribulations and problems displayed in the blog that you pointed us to is the best case for not using Skype. It just shows that there isn't a mature or knowledgeable team behind it.
