Today we released an updated version of the Rich Mood Editor for Skype. The new version is 2.1.0.1.
We released this version to fix the compatibility with Skype 5.3 and 5.5 without Extras Manager. The previous version of Rich Mood Editor required a library called Skype4COM which was removed from the Skype application after Skype removed the Extras Manager.
As a result any installed version of Rich Mood Editor stopped working. We have changed this in the new version, which is now no longer dependent on Skype4COM.
To rectify the problem, download and install the new version.
RME is freeware. Enjoy!

Yeah, yeah, busy times here with another small update. We’re doing our best to address some issues which cropped up the past months by providing more frequent updates.
Having said that, this is the last 4.7 version we will have before we move to 4.8. There will not be many changes in 4.8, the major change is a complete clean up of the personalization module. This module was built a few years ago and we have learned a few things which we will change now to make this function work better.
In this release we have:
Change: Improved several settings in the options for easier usage
Change: Optimized contact list loading, the status of Skype contacts shown in Pamela is updated a lot quicker
Change: Added a new “Conference call” recording status icon which shows when a conference call was recorded
Change: Removed all wizards from Pamela (personalization, podcasting and blogging)
Bugfix: Column “Call received” did not remember sort state
Bugfix: Cancelling an incoming call with email forwarding active should not show the email forwarding dialog
Bugfix: Fixed a visual bug with displaying SkypeOut status in the personalization view-pane
Bugfix: Unable to click “Apply” when changing logging type in options
Bugfix: Small fixes to application shutdown routines
To update open Pamela and click on “Help” and then “Check for update”. Download the setup and then start it. The setup will automatically update the installed Pamela version and retain all your data and settings.

Today we released an update of Pamela to version 4.7.0.65.
Main changes are fixes for the video recording of Skype5. Skype made architectural changes and we had to make some adaptations in Pamela to provide a good video recording experience.
We also took the opportunity to fix some crash situations reported to us since the initial 4.7 release and made further improvements to the performance. You will notice this in significantly decreased startup time and much quicker reaction. The resource usage has been decreased and optimizations implemented for multi-core computers for a better performance.
Updating is free, just open the Pamela main interface and click “Help”, “Check for updates”. Download and run the installer and you’re ready!
We hope you like the updated version and as always look forward to your feedback and suggestions.

We just released a new Pamela version for everyone to test. Pamela 4.7 does not have significant new features (besides the polish here and there), but mainly fixes a few annoying issues and improves stability.
We updated the core recording engine with a much more stable one. We fixed issues with the Emotion Player which annoyed some of you and solved the bug that the recording would stop as soon as you added someone to a conference call.
These are just a few of the many things we fixed. Give Pamela Pro a try by downloading from our home page.
We want to know what you think and would like to ask you to give feedback by answering a short survey.

We have been a bit silent on what we are doing with Pamela for Skype, so here a short update on what is happening.
During the past years we have consistantly improved the audio and video recording system in Pamela. In Pamela 4.6 some major improvements were done in the video recording system.
However, we still see that some areas of the audio recorder can be improved. The core engine we’re using there is already a bit older so we thought it is time for an overhaul.
Pamela 4.7 will have a complete new recording code module on which the audio and video recording will be based. This core system will perform a lot better and also use even less CPU as 4.6. This is one of the main objectives, improve performance and at the same time “modulize” the engine so that we are flexible to expand it in future.
Talking about future, we will be starting the development of Pamela5 as soon as 4.7 is out the door. I can’t say too much except that Pamela5 will be a massive change from what Pamela has been offering till today. You will not loose any functionality but there will be a lot of very interesting new things. I’m sure you’ll like the new approach and idea. More on this later!
