I just went to the Skype website to download the client... when I noticed that there is a 1.3 beta version available for download, something I've never seen before.

I downloaded it and tryed it, but I wouldnt call it beta... its more of an Alpha quality client, but its still there.

Now I'm woundering... has this been here for a long time? or has Skype finaly come around to upgrading the Linux client?
