įull information about this release is available at the Microsoft Knowledge-Base. This time is no different since the current release of the client supports the new OS X Yosemite.
MICROSOFT OFFICE MAC OS X MAVERICKS FOR MAC
Each time, we tested and released a new Lync for Mac client. In the last two years Apple has released three new versions of OS X: Mountain Lion, Mavericks and just last week Yosemite. In addition, archival in Exchange simplifies eDiscovery and other compliance tasks for administrators. Using Exchange allows us to propagate a user’s conversation history across multiple devices enabling, for example, a person with more than one Mac to revisit all their conversations on either Mac-rather than seeing only the local conversations. The option to store conversation history in Exchange, as well as locally, and a new Conversation History tab in the Lync for Mac client, shown below. With this update, we’ve added two things to improve conversation history for both Mac users and company administrators. Older versions of Lync for Mac store a record of Lync conversations locally on the Mac, but not in Exchange. This lets voice calls continue even when presence information is no longer available. Second, Lync for Mac will now maintain the media connection for peer-to-peer calls if connectivity is lost to Lync Server or Lync Online. You’ll see the video freeze when the network drops and then re-start once connection is re-established.)

Quickly disconnect and reconnect your network cable, or disable and re-enable your wireless connection. First, if a network disconnect occurs, Lync for Mac will now automatically rejoin a meeting or reconnect a peer-to-peer call as long as network connectivity is re-established within 30 seconds.
MICROSOFT OFFICE MAC OS X MAVERICKS UPDATE
This update adds Media Resiliency for peer-to-peer calls and Lync Meetings, which does two important things. No network is perfect, of course, and we all want the best possible experience when hiccups happen. This release adds new two features Media Resiliency and Conversation History, as well as additional support for Apple OS X Yosemite. I’m pleased to say that we’ve just released our latest update to Lync for Mac, and it is available for download on Microsoft Support.
