Today Skype went public with its 2.8 software for Mac.  While many of us have been using 2.8Beta for months now, this is the first chance mainstream users will be able to use Skype 2.8.  The feature list is fairly impressive:

Skype Access
Pay as you go public WiFi access so you can stay connected wherever you are. Simply pay per minute with Skype Credit.
Screen sharing
Share what you’re seeing on your computer over a free call. Show someone exactly what you mean instead of typing to explain it.
Better sound and video
A step up in call quality that you’ll really hear – and see.

Hint: Don't enable Mood messages!  Download it here

Is this the same build as the beta or did this release get some tweaks?

because it keeps on coming up as an event every now and then and you cannot seem to get rid of it! i finally disabled it now after getting fed up with it in the beta.
