> • GWConnect can now be made ad-free for non-Window-Eyes customers. Please

> • GWConnect's startup time has been reduced.
> • You can now rename contacts in GWConnect. Either choose the Rename item
> from the Contact/Context menus or hit F2. If the renamed text is blank,
> GWConnect
> will fall back to the contact's own display name or phone number (in the
> case of Skype Out contacts).
> • A new privacy dialog has been added to the Skype menu. This will allow
> you to limit who can call you, send you IMs, etc.
> • Also under the Skype menu is a voicemail options window. Here you can
> enable/disable whether voicemail is active for your account as well as
> record your
> own greeting. Note that it appears that for this feature to work, you have
> to explicitly enable the voicemail option from your Skype account on the
> web
> if you haven't already done so.
> • Added SMS support. Note that the Skype Kit only supports sending SMS
> messages. There is presently no way to receive them. Additionally, you
> must
> have
> sufficient Skype Out credit or sending the message will fail.
> • Added an "Answer" item to the Call menu so you can now use this directly
> from the main UI in addition to the dialog or global hotkeys.
> • When a call begins, GWConnect will now tell you who's calling if you
> have
> enabled speech messages.
> • Under the call menu is a "Hold/Resume Conversation" menu item. This will
> let you put the active call on hold locally and resume it. GWConnect will
> announce
> the new status of the conversation; e.g. "conversation on hold" or
> "conversation resumed."
> • The Contact menu has a "View Mood Text" item for people who weren't able
> to see the full mood text column. All this does is open a message box with
> the
> mood text for easier review.
> • Added Alt F1 through Alt F12 (excluding Alt F4) to switch to different
> preset contact views such as Skype Contacts, Skype Out Contacts, etc. The
> name
> of the new view is also announced.
> • There is a new tab in the options window called "Startup & Shutdown."
> All
> choices related to GWConnect's startup, minimization, and shutdown
> behavior
> have been moved here.
> • Added an option to the Startup & Shutdown tab to ask you whether you
> want
> to close GWConnect on exit. This is enabled by default.
> • Added the option to have Alt-F4 minimize GWConnect rather than close it
> outright. This option is found in Options/Startup & Shutdown.
> • Added an option to automatically answer incoming calls (under
> Options/General). When active, any incoming calls will be answered but
> only
> if you aren't
> already in a call with someone else. If you are, the caller is sent
> immediately to voicemail.
> • In options/general is an edit box where you can instruct GWConnect to
> hang up if you don't answer an incoming call after X number of seconds
> (default
> is 30). Enter only whole numbers greater than 0. Note that this option
> will
> only do something if you have set this value to be greater than 0 and if
> you
> have enabled voicemail for your account.
> • An option to speak timestamps for incoming and outgoing chat messages
> has
> been added to Options/Speech (default is unchecked). This setting is

> independent of the "show timestamps" option for the message log.
> • A new checkbox has been added to the speech tab to cause GWConnect to

> speech (such as changing contact views, reading messages in text chat
> windows, etc. will not produce the extra "alert" text.
> • The message log tab in the options dialog has been renamed to "History."
> • Under the history tab of the options window is a new group of radio
> buttons which will let you choose how much text chat and recent event
> history should
> be retrieved. The default is to only retrieve activity from the last 30

> no need to re-run the setup program or manually delete the GWConnect

> • A setting has been added to Options/Files which will allow you to have
> GWConnect automatically close file transfer windows when they complete.
> • You can now automatically accept incoming files when the respective
> checkbox is checked in the Files tab of the options window. When enabled,
> any existing
> file will be overwritten, and the incoming transfer will be accepted
> without any intervention.
> • If you place or accept a call while one is already active, you are now

> original,
> or try to merge the calls. If you choose to put the original on hold, it
> will automatically resume once the new conversation ends. This behavior is
> configurable
> under the options window.
> • Added a "Call Back" button to the voicemail playback window. When
> clicked, it will stop the active voicemail (if one is playing) and place a
> call to the
> person who left the message.
> • If you place a call to one or more contacts with phone numbers defined
> (either by you or in his/her profile), you are now asked which one you
> want
> to
> call.
> • You can now assign office, mobile, and other phone numbers to contacts

> choosing the "Assign Phone Numbers" item from either the Contact or
> context
> menus. Note that whereas you can assign three numbers to a regular Skype
> contact, you can only assign two for a Skype Out contact.
> • Your Skype Out balance can be viewed via the respective option from the
> Skype menu.
> • You can now view a contact's local time in the view profile window.
> • The program now says and shows user display names for incoming calls.
> Before, GWConnect would show only the person's Skype name or telephone
> number.
> • The names of call participants are spoken when calls begin.
> • When editing your profile or assigning phone numbers to a contact, each
> respective entry is normalized before the change is committed to Skype.
> • Text chats now include a status line which will allow you to see when
> members of the active conversation are typing. Similarly, a checkbox to
> options/speech
> has been added to let you choose whether GWConnect speaks something when
> someone in an open text chat types a message. In addition, GWConnect
> likewise
> will send the appropriate notifications to members of a chat when you

> • Added Control-A, Z, X, C, and V hotkeys to select, undo, cut, copy, and
> paste text inside chat and SMS windows.
> • Messages in text chat windows are now displayed a bit differently to
> make
> them easier to read visually.
> • When inviting users to a text chat, you can now choose as many people as
> you like rather than only being able to add one person at a time.
> • If you sent a message whose contents was a single emoticon, GWConnect
> would play the outbound message sound but failed to display it in the
> message log.
> This has been fixed.
> • Adding users to an existing one-on-one conversation worked, but the
> title
> bar of the chat window would never update when adding someone to a
> conference.
> This has been fixed.
> • If a conversation is put on hold remotely or if a participant puts you
> on
> hold locally, GWConnect will now speak and display a message saying as
> much.
> In addition, a short beep will play every ten seconds while the active
> call
> is held.
> • GWConnect can now detect when the list of available audio devices
> changes; e.g. if you plug in a USB headset, GWConnect will re-initialize
> the audio devices
> and try to keep hold of your input/output preferences. There is still a
> known problem where the microphone on certain cards such as the Sound
> Blaster Audigy
> will become active regardless of your preference in the Windows Volume
> Control. This is a known Skype Kit limitation awaiting resolution.
> • If you have more than one voice conversation active, you can now switch
> among them by using Control-Alt-F1 to go back or Control-Alt-F2 to go
> forward.
> Or, use the Previous/Next Conversation items under the call menu.
> GWConnect
> will speak and display the information about the new call which is
> activated.
>
> • When a call ends, GWConnect will speak and display its final duration on
> the status line similar to native Skype. If you don't want this to happen,
> uncheck
> the respective checkbox in Options/General.
> • GWConnect now keeps track of individual conversation durations as long
> as
> they're live. This means that if you switch among conversations, GWConnect
> will
> be able to keep up and display the correct duration on the status bar.
> Note
> that timing will cease whenever a live conversation is put on hold and
> start
> again when the call resumes.
> • When adding Skype Out contacts, you can now optionally assign a display
> name to the newly added phone number.
> • You can now send multiple files in a single file transfer request.
> • In the view profile window, GWConnect now shows the person's birthday
> (if
> given) in the default locale's format. e.g. in the US, you will see
> something
> like 8/29/1984 or in the UK, 29/8/1984. We also show the person's age if
> his/her birthday is available.
> • Under the Skype menu is a new item called "Change Language." This allows
> you to set GWConnect to run in any of its supported languages. If you
> decide
> to change the language, GWConnect will ask if you want to restart for the
> new change to become active.
> • If you first ran GWConnect in one language, hotkey descriptions in the
> options window would always appear in that language even if a new
> translation later
> became available. This has been fixed.
> • You can now send and receive contacts to people in your contact list or
> in text chats. Use the "Send Contacts" option from the Contact or context
> menu
> in the main window or by clicking the aptly named button in the chat
> window. Choose the contact(s) you want to send, and once done, the people
> at the other
> end will receive notifications allowing them to add the contact to their
> Skype buddy list, view his/her profile, or ignore the contact.
> • Added a reset settings option to the Help menu. You will be asked
> whether
> you want to continue. If you answer yes, your settings will be deleted and
> GWConnect
> will restart as if for the first time.
> • The system tray icon is always present so long as GWConnect runs.
> • GWConnect now stores window positions in addition to sizes when you move
> or size them.
> • If you moved or resized the main GWConnect window, the defaults would
> continue to be used on the next launch. This has been fixed.
> • Shortened the message descriptions in the recent events window; e.g.
> instead of "message received from Blah," there is now just "message from
> Blah." Additionally,
> call durations are displayed when available.
> • Sent/received messages in the recent events window now include their
> contents when applicable.
> • Under the Call menu are two items for turning the speaker volume up and
> down. Additionally, you can use Control-Alt-F11 and Control-Alt-F12 to
> accomplish
> the same from within any other active program. A "speaker volume" slider
> has also been added to the devices tab of the options window. Note that
> until
> Skype provides a way to disable microphone AGC, GWConnect will be unable
> to
> adjust your microphone volume. Appropriate controls will be added once
> this
> becomes possible.
> • Custom contact groups are now fully supported. You can add, edit, and
> switch to custom groups of your choice from under the "Custom Groups" item
> of the
> View menu.
> • GWConnect will no longer receive keyboard focus if it is configured to
> run from the system tray on launch.
> • Unicode (rather than ASCII) text is sent to your chosen screen reader.
> Text written in non-Latin languages will be spoken correctly, assuming the
> screen
> reader in question correctly supports Unicode.
> • Control-Alt-End has been added as a global hotkey to Hold/Resume
> conversations.
> • Added a hotkey to mute/unmute program-generated speech (Control-Alt-F3
> by
> default).
> • A global hotkey has been added to repeat the most recently spoken
> message. it is Control-Alt-F10 by default.
> • Fixed the problem where the incoming authorization sound would play but
> no window would appear.
> • GWConnect would not always speak or display messages whose contents were
> single links. This has been fixed.
> • An option to repeat the caller ID of an incoming caller has been added
> to
> Options/Speech (enabled by default). When active, GWConnect will repeat
> the
> name of who is calling every five seconds.
> • Added a hotkey to focus the most recently active chat within the active
> GWConnect session (Control-Alt-C by default).
> • Choosing "Show Main Window" from the GWConnect system tray icon would
> sometimes do nothing. This has been fixed.
> • When you tried to leave a voicemail for someone, GWConnect would
> sometimes hang up immediately when the voicemail window opened. This has
> been improved.
> Note that Skype are still investigating voicemail-related issues that some
> GWConnect users have reported. An updated runtime will be shipped with
> GWConnect
> when the issues have been corrected.
> • A number of visual changes have been made which will not impact screen
> reader users.
> • Fixed the issue where the settings file would sometimes become corrupted
> at program shutdown.
> • Many minor bugs have been corrected thanks to error reports. Thank you!
