JAWS, Teams: The revision 162 scripts are now actually posted; I sent the announcement and then got distracted before I actually uploaded the update.
General, Skype: Five usage notes from a conversation today in my project group:
Using split-view mode prevents the long delay on opening new chats, but it also prevents notifications like "Message sent" from working.
If opening a chat doesn't work the first time after Skype launches, Tab and Shift+Tab once and then open the conversation.
The End key does not move to the last entry in a chat's history as it should. Microsoft should fix this.
If you see a Back button in a single-window-mode conversation or can't get Alt+1 to work, try maximizing Skype such as by typing Windows+UpArrow; the Back button only appears when Skype doesn't have enough space to show everything.
To clear up any confusion over Skype Desktop versus Skype UWP: They both still exist but have the same interface, so you can run Skype from the Microsoft Store or get it from Skype.com and have the same experience.

General, TeamTalk, TTCom: TTCom 3.1.0 revision 1108 for Python 3.7 released:
* Documentation collected into one file and made the main website starting point, replacing the old small README file. This will simplify future updates and TTCom maintenance.
* Logins and logouts without a nickname are reported. This was not true initially because of site scanners that once would have made this cause excessive output.
* About six more bug fixes and doc improvements as listed in the release notes.

(TTCom with caps still works but is no longer necessary)

Audir, Virtual Audio Cable: Audir revision 347 posted: Fixes a bug that prevented saving repeaters for some people, hopefully better Unicode support, and the Del command prompts for permission before deleting when there is only one repeater saved. http://www.dlee.org/audir/
