Indeed they have changed their protocol, and legacy clients are left out.
Currently, the most up-to-date protocol seem to be their
Web protocol
.
that's what they use for the current official Skype for Linux package (it's basically the Web Skype, rolled together with Chromium browser thank to Electron frame work)
it also works fully on Linux simply with Chromium and Firefox (last I checked, chromium manages to make calls without any 3rd party plugin, only with WebRTC. I haven't checked Firefox recently)
it's supported by EionRobb's
libSkypeWeb purple plugin
under Pidgin/Adium/etc. (tough no support for WebRTC calls yet), but means you can get status+chat easily into anything that "talks purple".
