Hi Guys,
According to the official Skype site (& release notes)- current build of Skype for Windows is 6.0.0.120
So, how come the portable is .125?
Cheers!

That's a typo on this page. It'll be fixed soon.

Now that I have actually tested the new version, I am not sure what the issue is.

When I hit Enter a text message gets sent, exactly as it has always done (for me).

Shift/Enter inserts a line break into the message without sending it. I wish I had been aware of that protocol heretofore, but it is certainly nice to know it exists now.

Thank you very much!

That's the problem, in earlier version it was possible to choose "Ctrl+Enter" for sending and "Enter" for new line, the mapping which is used almost everywhere, but not in Skype 6 for some reason

I don't think Skype's portable mode switch allows it.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
