I've tried this version of Skype and it works well with Window-Eyes 7.5
beta 1 and would probably work well with other screen readers as well.
Here are the changes in this version:

Improvements:

Improved handling of calling attempts made when the user has run out of credit
Improved access to sharing functionality

Seldom Call Quality notifications could have been displayed for very short time
Network connection indicator stayed red even after network connection had recovered

Call view

Calling

Missed call to online number did not display caller number

Contact list

While browsing contact list in compact mode conversations were mistakenly opened
sometimes

Generic

Resolved many issues with right to left language displaying
Recent list
It was possible to add to contacts unknown phone number

Skype Home

Users avatar change was not showed out to himself on profile area until Skype was
restarted

Welcome Screen
