On the same day that Facebook announced it has added Skype video calling,  Skype for Mac has just been updated to version 5.2.0.1523 to finally include group screen sharing.

There have also been a few other improvements including improved multi-tasking, a sidebar enhancement, support for Mac's built-in HD and Logitech's B910 HD cameras and some minor bug fixes.

These tweaks and improvements still don't address the major gripes of many Mac users concerning the interface however and probably won't stop the exodus of people downgrading to the old version 2.8. Added to the recent takeover of Skype by Microsoft and the rise of Apple's Facetime (and now even Google+'s new Hangout feature), the Skype team are going to have to do much better than this to hold onto their Mac user base.
