Wrong Linux information

The main info-box says "Linux: 8.33.0.50 / 27 October 2018; 10 days ago" (according to reference #1 of the article^[1] ), the date is correct, but according to the same reference^[2] (Reference #1 of the Skype Wikipedia article), the last Linux version is "8.33.0.41".

Semi-protected edit request on 24 September 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Skype. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please add the following text (including links) to the end of the Skype#Windows client subsection as a new paragraph: The Skype aplication for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S was discontinued in June 2023. However, users on those platforms are still able to use the Web version of Skype via Microsoft Edge.

Additionally, please add the following two external links as reference links, optionally using the "Cite Web" template:
