Just shortly after the beta version for Skype 2.6.0.67 for Windows was released, the site now announced the next release of the new beta version, Skype 2.6.0.74.

Some of the new cool features to appear in version 2.6 includes the ability to click and call any ordinary phone number from any website (This requires the plugins for Internet Explorer, which is bundled within the installation package). Also, it allows users to find and join Skypecasts using the Live tab, and share your favorite links in mood message.

These are the change log over the previous beta version:

• * feature: Optional Google toolbar installation for Internet Explorer
• * bugfix: PD: Adding a SkypeOut contact for Italy was incorrectly auto changed by Skype
• * bugfix: API: SMS window was not updated when using public API SMS commands
• * bugfix: on rare cases there was a fatal crash opening received file and closing FT dialog
• * bugfix: Copy profile did not work on some occasions

Skype 2.6.0.74 for Windows Beta can be downloaded here. Builds for other platforms are also available, i.e. Linux or Macintosh.
