Everyone,
I'm glad to announce that the Skype API is finally mature enough to be included in a public build. So as of now we have the API included in the main Skype for Windows.
We just released version 1.0.0.94, you can get it from http://www.skype.com/go/getskype
This is just the beginning of the API show, quick intro about what's coming up and going on:
* API forum to be made public in the coming days, API info to be posted on the www.skype.com website
* We will be introducing software developer programs (days to weeks from now)
* We will be introducing certification programs (days to weeks from now)
* Licencing - no licence is required to use or develop with the Skype API
* New features for the API - conferencing support and other things that you've been asking for. Support for upcomgin Skype features.
Official announcent of the API is following a while later.
Releasenotes for the public version (compared to latest beta avail here) are below, doc will be cleaned up and uploaded tomorrow.
Thank you all for your help!
taavet & the Skype team
