No it's not. 2.0.0.69, not a beta, is the latest release version.

hello Bruce!

What version of Skype are you using? I think, Skype 2.0 Beta is the newest version.

 Below are my findings. I can only speak for my experiences.

 I just downloaded the latest release of Skype. This is not a beta, but a
 full release. The contact list works very impressively with JAWS. When you
 launch the program, you are immediately placed into the contact window.
 Hitting the tab key puts you into the edit box for entering a phone
 number, then tab again places you back n the contact list. The contact
 list will give you the status of the person highlighted: online, offline,
 offline with call forwarding, etc. You can hit enter to immediately call
 that person, or you can use your application key for contact-related
 options.

 Unfortunately, this version of Skype does not offer the same (or, by my
 findings, any) contact list functionality with Window-Eyes. I should also
 add that I do not have any JAWS scripts installed.
