Skype has been released a new beta for Mac OS X. New to v2.7 [direct download link] is the ability to sort contacts into an unlimited number of groups, including both user-defined ones and pre-made categories such as Online and Waiting Authorization. Users can now also create public chats, auto-redial busy or unconnected numbers, and transfer multiple files with fewer performance problems. A specific Mac OS X addition is the ability to view Address Book contacts within Skype, to whom users can make calls or send text messages. As before Skype to Skype is free, but calling landline phones requires a paid subscription or a low cost Skype Out minute purchase.
