⚒️ Change log:
- Change the UI colour to represent Skype 7.24
- Remove the Italic style from the statuses text (Online, Away, etc..)
- Make the Contact / Chat separator fill the entire window
- Improve the call pop out (make it able to see the conversation like - how it is in 2.5)
- Fixed the translator (uses Google API without a key, so you might get rate limited pretty fast)
- Fixed a bug where you would get stuck loading forever
- Added previously removed items from the menu bar
- Combined help and debug menu into one (help)
- Changed the menu bar to resemble Skype 7 more
- Added the ability to start automatically on start-up
- Added the ability to start automatically minimised (or closed in the tray)
- Removed the dark semi-transparent background of the call header (the top area)
- Added option to not send typing indicator
- Added ringing deferring (mute ringing for a certain amount of time)
- Added ability to disable chat notification sound
- Ability to auto play video messages
- Made the retry call button green
- Add a button to make the call pop out
- Fix personal expressions / stickers / Mojis
- Change copy behaviour to "Copy Text" as default (instead of "Copy Quote")
- Fixed call button properly (you can no longer call if you're already in a call)
- Added "Call error" when the call failed instead of "No answer"
- Added support to see message reactions
- Dropped online ECS config (i.e a.config.skype.com and b.config.skype.com won't be contacted, this prevents Microsoft from breaking features)
- Change the offline status colour to be green when in minimal mode
- Changed all references to Skype for Web to Skype Classic
- Changed all sounds to the original Skype for Web ones (as they fit better)
- Fixed received message notifications (they broke once we removed the ECS config)
- Restored most old emoticons
- Restored hidden secret emoticons
- Made emoticons be stored locally
- Made the call relay be international so calls are routed to the local relay to get the best call quality and latency
- Made the badge icon always show the current status (it still shows the unread badge when appropriate)
- Fixed the duration of incoming calls being 30 seconds short of the new client (i.e the incoming call notification would stop, but the new client would still keep ringing for another 30 seconds)
- Skype Classic is now named Re(vived)Skype (all references have been changed accordingly)
- Fixed the notifications displaying electron.app.ReSkype instead of ReSkype
- Made the Google translation API use a different client to allow for a larger rate limit cap
- Removed auto language detection (this used to crash the client when you had a language that was not implemented)
- Removed the useless information on the incoming call notification

    ⚠️The installer we use (the default electron-builder one) is falsely flagged as a virus due to it being silent and unsigned, not much we can really do about it, if you don't trust it, use the portable versions

List of features might come in Skype Classic v3

List of features might come in Skype Classic v3:
- Old call animation
- Restore the old emojis fully (also remove the dependency on the cloud)
- Setup similar to the one from Skype 7
- Old custom notifications
- Split view
- Disable typing indicator option
- Start with Windows automatically (and minimised)
- Double click a contact or group to call
- Add detection of Teams (includes Skype for Business)
- Change copy behaviour to "Copy Text" as default (when doing CTRL + C) instead of "Copy Quote" (Skype 8 did this in 8.30, there is an option to re-enable it)
- Fix the translator

 

⚠️ These features might never see the light of day, they are just some ideas we have that we could implement at some point
