Microsoft has just released the latest version of its Skype messaging app for the Mac. As you might expect, the new 7.13 adds support for the recently-launched OS X El Capitan and it also supports the Split View multitasking mode in that OS as well.
In addition, Microsoft says:
We've also made it easier to automatically add friends that are also using Skype. Just go to Contacts and click Add Contacts. There you'll see an option to automatically add people you know in your Mac or other address books. You can also verify your mobile number so that people who have it can easily find you on Skype.
Be aware that Skype 7.13 for the Mac requires OS X 10.9 or later.

Skype for Mac updated with OS X El Capitan and Split View mode support
This would have been nice to have weeks, months ago.
I don't understand why so many devs wait until after an OS release to update for compatibility when we KNOW they've been using the pre-releases the entire time. Any developers out there, what are your thoughts on waiting until after OS release to update?
Great... Can we have that for iPad instead or will they wait an additional 3 years before updating the iPad app ? :p
What point is there in releasing the update with an OS X Version-specific feature weeks or months earlier, when those features are unusable until the OS X Version in question is released.
Why are you crying about this? It's there, minutes after El Capitan launched, and you still see a reason to cry about it?
Now where is Skype for Business for Mac? Lync 2011 is dreadful. Why is this one of the MS apps that are required to be completely separate, instead of optional sign one for personal or business? (See comment on OneDrive for Business article.)
