Client fixes

• Client version spoofed to Skype 8.102
• Translator + no quick rate limit (client ID set to Chrome extension)
• Incoming call time fix
• Bing AI is now working (no longer complaints about using old version of Skype)
• Switch login page to Skype 8 flow
• Login fix
• Authentication API fix
• 2FA Auth endpoint fix
• Make the separators fill the screen (chat header and chat box)
• Restored old emoticons (the emojis are stored locally, that's why the size of the app is increased)
• Fix personal expressions / stickers / Mojis
• Fixed Emoji search bar
• Restored hidden secret emoticons, fixed some buggy Animated emojis
• Made the call relay be international, for better Ping / Latency for USA, Turkey, RU, and other
• Fix Giphy API, both trending and search (GIF list is capped at 20 by design, it's not a bug)
• Add a button to make the call pop out
• Added ability to disable chat notification sound
• Change copy behaviour to "Copy Text" instead of "Copy Quote"
• Restore platform Emoji in About (Penguin + Win logo)
• Ability to auto play video messages
• Removed Fieme relation
• Added Linux support (currently only tested under x64 Linux Mint, should work for any Debian based distro, running on x86, x86-64 or ARM32 / ARMv7 )

Known issues

• Message reaction (feature is fixed but it's not activated as it ruins the design for now, and it's only 1 way, Skype 8 to Skype classic)
• Notification for incoming message (broken by a stupid change, will try to revert it in next version)
• Old chats loading (old messages load perfectly, but Chats need to be addressed because of MS API Changes)

This is a client based on the old version of Skype Web that replicates the design of Skype 7 at a good level
