We are proud to announce the availability of the Chinese Yuan (RMB) currency in the Pamela shop (the Pamela for Skype call and video recording solution) and PamFax shop (the easiest online fax solution).
Please note that the currency is only available for China and Malaysian residents.
Although Pamela 4.6 has been around for a long time we are still finding things that need to be fixed. Relatively shortly after we released the .57 version we release another update. This update has the following changes:
Bugfix: Irregular display of dialog “No sound data from Skype” although sound was OK
Bugfix: Fixed a potential crash situation at Pamela startup
Bugfix: When starting Pamela without Skype the call list would not be populated with the recorded calls
Change: Changed default voicemail greeting message
Change: Removed Skype API authorization warning window
You can update for free by opening Pamela and clicking on “Help” and “Check for update”.
Our plans moving forward are the release of Pamela 4.7. The main changes here will be the new sound engine which we will be using for Pamela5 as well as some fixes. The next release is not a feature release but we will add a “Recording Info” option which allows you to see all the details of a particular recording.
We published an update to the Pamela website (www.pamela.biz). We made some changes on the download page and improved some of the navigation.
We also thought it was time to integrate the website of Pamela Call Recorder into the main Pamela website. Pamela Call Recorder has now replaced Pamela Standard which is no longer available. The reason is that we feel that Pamela Call Recorder is much better value for your money than Pamela Standard.
All existing customer will be able to continue to use Pamela Standard and when we launch 5.0 we will provide an upgrade path.
Based on feedback from users we were able to address some issues and have released a new hotfix (4.6.0.56) for Pamela Basic, Standard, Professional and Business. Pamela Call Recorder is not effected although we do plan a hotfix sometime soon.
Changes:
Bugfix: Recording did not appear in recording list when connection to Skype was lost.
Bugfix: Recording did not appear in recording list when a new call was received during an active recording.
Bugfix: On Windows7 there was an error when recording Skype video when the Skype window was outside the desktop area.
Bugfix: Potential crash at the end of a call recording.
Change: Call recording warning disabled by default.
Change: Major improvements in audio engine of Pamela which improves the performance of Pamela.
To update just open Pamela and click on the Help menu and then “Check for update”. This will provide you with the correct update version. Download and run the setup which will update Pamela to the latest version. All your data and settings will remain untouched.
Note that upgrades are free for our free and license customers.
Today we released hotfix 6 for the Pamela for Skype product range. This hotfix bumps up the build number to 4.6.0.50 and is currently the last update of the 4.6 range we plan to release. We will now start work on Pamela5!
The changes in this build are:
Change: Changed the way Skype video is detected for more reliable recording.
Bugfix: Uninstaller does not remove the Pamela folder in Program Files.
Bugfix: Fixed greyed out recording buttons in some situations after starting a Skype call.
The good news is that based on the sent in reports, there were no more crash fixes required.
To upgrade open Pamela, click on “Help” and then “Check for update”. Download, install and enjoy.

I know the word “Christmasnized” does not exist, but it seemed to me the simplest and shortest description of what happened today
