Lync 2013 update: February 2013

Some people are referring to this as CU1; however as this is Lync Client only and not the server I’d rather call it an update.

The update comes in two forms, one is Lync specific while the other is Office 2013 related (don't ask me why!)

The following files are available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

Lyncloc
Download the x86 package now.
Download the x64 package now.

Msores

Fixes include;
· Enables users to hide offline contacts in the contact list.
· Enables users to receive buddy invites from untrusted networks.
  (Note this option is available under Alerts in Lync Options.)
· Improves the support for high dots per inch (DPI) displays, for Microsoft Narrator, and for other  accessibility features.
· Fixes bugs that are related to Location sharing and settings.
· Fixes bugs that are related to Tabbed Conversations.
· Enables participants to join online meetings by dialling out to their telephone number if online meetings are scheduled by a non-audio-enabled Lync 2013 user.
· Improves the handling of devices that have both a front-facing and rear-facing camera.
· Improves the user experience when you join a Lync meeting in a Lync Room System-enabled room.

A new option is available for hiding offline contacts;
