There's a new beta version of Skype available for Windows users.
Skype 4 beta 3 looks a lot like Skype 4 beta 2, but it packs a few new features, including:
- Bandwidth manager that should improve call quality
- Full history feature that lets you search and browser past calls and conversations
- Abuse reporting feature that lets you report users you block to Skype
- Support for Microsoft Outlook contacts
- Return of the call quality feedback area
There have also been some visual tweaks. No word on when we'll see these changes rolled out to the Linux or OS X versions of Skype.

Thank God they are doing something. Please bring this report abuse feature to OSX version as well. Skype would be absolutely wonderful if I didnt get a request or message from sexy_chic_on_webcam_122423412...whatever every freaking day!

You still can't open up the webcam in it's own window like you can in 3.8.

I want the one-window interface on the mac, with contact list, chat window and video/talk window it clutters everything and doesn't go to the background either.

One problem which I still face is that the new Skype windows takes too much space. I hope they are able to find any solution to that.
