07/11/2014 - mIRC v7.37
Changes:
1.Fixed /window -dC bug not centering @window on the same the
monitor as the main mIRC window.
2.Fixed Window Order dialog not allowing entry of long channel names.
3.Fixed $sockerr being incorrectly set in some socket events.
4.Fixed font display bug that caused mIRC to use a blank font if the
font name was empty in the [fonts] section in mirc.ini.
5.Fixed channels list display bug when list reply includes channel
modes. The modes are no longer displayed in the channels list.
6.Updated compiler options to improve buffer overrun defenses and
enabled heap metadata protection on Vista onwards.
7.Added check for numeric 447 issued by some servers when a /list
request is sent.
8.Added Windows entering sleep/hibernation detection at which point

mIRC will immediately save unwritten INI settings as a precaution.

9.Added STARTTLS support using the CAP tls protocol.
To initiate a secure connection to a STARTTLS capable server, you
can use the /server -t switch or prefix the port number with a
star sign, eg. *6667.
On connecting to a server, mIRC now sends CAP LS and waits for a
reply from the server before logging on. This allows mIRC to
determine if STARTTLS is supported and to initiate STARTTLS before
logon credentials are sent.
If a server replies with a CAP reply, mIRC processes the CAP reply,
initiates STARTTLS if supported, and then logs on. If STARTTLS is
not supported, mIRC cancels the connection.
If a server replies with numeric 451 (not registered), indicating
it does not recognize CAP, mIRC cancels the connection.
If a server does not reply at all, after a few seconds of waiting,
mIRC sends a PING. If a server replies with a PONG or numeric 451,
indicating it does not support CAP, mIRC cancels the connection.
10.Added /sockopen -t switch that initiates an SSL negotiation on a
non-SSL connection, eg. as with STARTTLS, and a $sock().starttls
identifier.
11.Fixed /sockread unsetting local variable instead of setting it to
an empty value in some contexts.
12.Fixed /whois results being incorrectly displayed in @debug window
if it happened to be active in some contexts.
13.Fixed SSL port cycling bug.
14.Added /sockwrite -a switch that prevents characters in the range
0-255 from being UTF-8 encoded, as long as the line only contains
characters in the range 0-255.
15.Fixed /server -nm not setting channels list filename correctly
when server window is created.
16.Changed channels list "hide non-text channels" option to allow
display of double-prefix channels.
17.Changed status window titlebar to include port number when not
connected so you can see if the next connection attempt will be
secure or not.
18.Fixed recent server connections not being saved to servers.ini file
if the "move to top on connect" option was disabled.
19.Changed servers history menu to correctly show the history of
servers you have connected to as opposed to servers at the top of
the servers list. If you select "clear history", it now clears the
history as expected.
20.Added ircs:// support to URL catcher.
21.Changed log view window, opened by logging dialog, so that it is
positioned at the end of the switchbar/treebar window list.
22.Fixed switchbar/treebar display bug that caused windows to be
displayed in the wrong order in some situations.
23.Changed $sound() to use the TagLib library for improved reading of
MP3 and other media file formats.
24.Added Shift-F3 key support in Scripts Editor to search backwards
through text.
25.Fixed timezone bug that caused timezones with non-whole hour offsets
to be handled incorrectly.
26.Updated manifest files to indicate Windows 8/8.1 compatibility.
27.Extended $os identifier to detect 8.1.

28.Fixed dialogs display bug that caused dialogs opened via MDI window
system menu to be offset incorrectly.
29.Fixed $did bug that caused $did to be reset inside an event in some
situations.
30.Changed SSL accepted cipher list to ALL:!ADH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:
!3DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS:!SSLv2:!LOW.
31.Added "ciphers" item to [ssl] section in mirc.ini that allows you
to specify list of accepted ciphers.
32.Updated libraries to PCRE v8.36 and OpenSSL 1.0.1j.
33.Changed connection error messages to include actual SSL error
messages provided by OpenSSL.
34.Changed $input() to allow entering of longer text and limiting text
entry to maximum length.
35.Fixed text display spacing bug with zero width characters.
36.Fixed timezone/daylight savings bug that was affecting timestamping
and time/date identifiers.
14/08/2014 - mIRC v7.36
Changes:
1.Fixed mark/copy text bug.
2.Updated the replace dialog in the script editor to remember its
position for the current mIRC session.
3.Fixed /alias incorrectly halting script in some situations.
4.Fixed SSL "Unable to get certificate CRL" bug.
5.Reverted change to $sslversion so that it returns only the version
number and excludes the "OpenSSL" prefix.
6.Updated libraries to OpenSSL 1.0.1i.
04/08/2014 - mIRC v7.35
Changes:
1.Fixed slow mark/copy text in windows that contain long lines.
2.Fixed listbox lines in Options dialog and other windows being
vertically chopped when DPI settings are set to a high value of
200% or more.
3.Reverted change to alias/identifiers when called recursively that
caused the script to be halted with a recursion error warning.
4.Fixed listbox with checkboxes bug that caused checkboxes to be
checked if you scrolled through them with the up/down keys.
5.Changed channel folder dialog so that it can now be resized.
6.Changed online timer dialog to display information more clearly.
7.Added /timer -zN switch to reset online timer, where N = 0 resets
current and total time, N = 1 resets current time, and N = 2 resets
total time.
8.Added $onlineserver to return current server online time and
$onlinetotal to return total online time.
9.Fixed Shift+Tab beeping when switching to listbox in channel window.
10.Fixed $fullscreen not working on a non-primary monitor.
11.Updated SSL routines to allow both static and dynamic linking of
OpenSLL with mIRC. mIRC now comes with OpenSSL 1.0.1h linked
statically, so SSL is available without needing external DLLS.
However, if mIRC finds a newer version of OpenSSL on your system,
it will load that automatically.
12.Added SSL option that allows you to control whether the internal
or external version of OpenSSL is loaded, by adding "load=N" to the
[ssl] section in mirc.ini, where N = 0 means "use internal, external
if newer", N = 1 means "use external always", and N = 2 means "use
internal always". The default is 0. If no external is available, or
there is an error loading external, internal is used.

13.Fixed SSL routines not checking if a private certificate was loaded

either in the same file as the private key or as part of a separate
certificate chain file.
14.Updated the find dialog in the script editor to remember its position
for the current mIRC session.
15.Fixed favorites bug where if multiple networks are defined for a
channel, and you click the join button, mIRC was only connecting to
the first network. mIRC now connects to all of the networks defined
for that channel and will open new status windows if necessary.
16.Fixed lock dialog bug that caused mIRC to ask for a password if the
on startup option was enabled without setting a password.
17.Fixed $input() 'b' switch so that the dialog window close button is
also temporarily disabled. This also applies to other dialogs that
use this feature.
18.Fixed isignore only accepting types, now also accepts switches.
19.Fixed CAP server-time time value not being used when timestamping
an event in the log file.
18/06/2014 - mIRC v7.34
Changes:

Toolbar for common menu items so that they match.
3.Added Switchbar font option to right-click popup menu.
4.Changed Switchbar to display active window tab in a slightly different
color when a background picture for the Switchbar is set.
5.Changed tooltip display delay to use the Windows default tooltip
display delay value.
6.Changed Clear History feature to not delete some interface settings,
such as font settings for Treebar, Switchbar, and Scripts Editor and
background picture settings for Treebar, Switchbar, and Toolbar.
7.Changed installer to default to upgrade mode if installing over an
existing installation when using the /S silent option and added a
/FULL command line option to force a full install.
8.Fixed DNS resolution bug that would have returned incorrect results
during multiple simultaneous DNS requests in rare contexts.
9.Updated libraries to OpenSSL 1.0.1h.
10.Added Lock dialog option to disable SendMessage. If cMethod value
16 is used for more useful error messages, returns 64 to indicate
SendMessage is disabled. You can use $lock(sendmessage) to check
if it is disabled.
11.Extended mouse wheel to work in interface elements, such as list
boxes in dialogs, under the cursor even if they are not active.
12.Added /comlist command to list open com objects.
13.Added $servertarget identifier to return address specified in the
/server command, which may not be the same as $server.
14.Added /play -x switch to treat the first line in the file as plain
text even if it is a number.
15.Fixed custom dialog listbox with checkboxes not working correctly
on Windows 8 tablet touch screens.
27/05/2014 - mIRC v7.33
Changes:
1.Fixed $ini() bug that resulted in an incorrect count being returned
with a particular combination of subject and key parameters.
2.Added /var -n switch to make /var treat input as plain text.
3.Fixed /loadbuf bug that skipped empty lines when loading a topic.

4.Changed HTTP routines to use POST with form parameters instead of

GET with URL parameters.
5.Fixed $line() with Channels List window so that it references the
current search results instead of the full list.
6.Fixed while/if loop error reporting bug.
7.Fixed /hotlink -m menu not working correctly when a menu item is
selected.
8.Fixed channel central limit bug that caused invalid limit values
sent by the server to be stored incorrectly.
9.Fixed channel titlebar not displaying numeric modes.
10.Fixed /timer bug when using the [time] parameter that caused it
to execute twice on reaching [time].
11.Extended server/history popup menu so that if you hold down either
the shift or control key and click, it opens a new server window.
12.Changed /localhost -p UPnP method to use local interface address
instead of 127.0.0.1.
13.Fixed on SOCKWRITE event not being triggered for UDP events when
an error occurs.
14.Fixed editbox focus not being set on restored desktop windows.
15.Fixed script editor focus not being set if it is in MDI mode and
you switch to a window outside of mIRC and then back to mIRC.
16.Fixed right-click popup menus in listbox windows not working on
Windows 8 tablet touch screens when using press-and-hold.
17.Fixed INI file save bug that was causing a gpf if the INI file
was already in use by another application.
18.Fixed full screen menubar bug that caused the menubar to be
displayed incorrectly in a multi-monitor setup in some cases.
19.Added /fopen -x switch that opens a file for exclusive access. If
another application is using the file, /fopen will fail.
20.Fixed /hsave to an INI file not clearing section before writing
hash table items to it.
21.Changed Options/Display/Buttons option to allow "Small" or "Large".
This now changes both the toolbar and switchbar size. The size is
scaled based on screen resolution and DPI settings. If installed
on a tablet, the large button size is chosen by default.
22.Fixed /echo -h bug that caused text not to hard-wrap.
23.Fixed $ctime() bug where "nd" values were not being recognized.
24.Updated libraries to PCRE v8.35 and OpenSSL 1.0.1g.
25.Fixed $msfile() bug when too many filenames were selected under
Windows 7/8.
26.Fixed $sdir() bug that caused selected folder not to be scrolled
into view when dialog is displayed under Windows 7/8.
27.Added math identifiers $atan2(y,x), $hypot(x,y), $log10(x),
$sinh(x), $cosh(x), $tanh(x).
28.Fixed $onpoly() bug due to rounding errors that may have returned
$true in rare cases where two lines are very close.
29.Added $intersect(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4,method) identifier that
returns the point at which two lines/rays intersect. The method
parameter is optional. If not specified, two lines are compared.
If specified, it can be lr, rl, rr = line/ray, ray/line, ray/ray.
30.Fixed /drawdot bug that caused it to be drawn slightly off center.
31.Added $input() 'f' switch that forces the return of $no/$cancel
for edit/combo boxes.
32.Fixed SSL certificate password dialog box being displayed multiple
times when multiple SSL connections are in progress.
33.Added display of "Connect cancelled" message when a connection
attempt/retry cycle has ended completely.
34.Added a single, standard lock/password dialog for use by all
features to replace multiple older implementations.
35.Fixed SendMessage() WM_MCOMMAND bug that would have returned a

successful result to the calling application even if the command

had in fact failed.
36.Added support for encrypting server passwords in servers.ini. Old
plain text passwords are converted to the new format.
37.Changed List Channels dialog lock password so that a hash is stored
in mirc.ini instead of the actual password. The old password is
converted to the new format.
38.Fixed SSL certificate password dialog box bug that, on being
displayed, caused controls to be enabled even if user was currently
typing in another window.
39.Added another method for detecting Wine, as a backup to the current
method.
40.Extended SendMessage() to enable executing a command in the context
of a remote event. During a remote event, a $eventid identifier is
set to a unique value to identify the event. This can be passed to a
DLL which can then pass it back to mIRC using:
SendMessage(mHwnd, WM_MCOMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(cMethod, cEventId), cIndex)
This will cause the command/evaluation to execute in the context
of the remote event identified by cEventId. If cEventId is 0, this
indicates a non-remote event.
41.Extended SendMessage() to return information about mIRC using
SendMessage(mHwnd, WM_MCOMMAND, -1, lParam) where lParam is -1 to
receive the mIRC version number and -2 to receive the cMethod
options that are supported.
42.Extended SendMessage() to support cMethod value 16 which causes
SendMessage() to return more useful error values instead of just
0 for failure and 1 for success. The return values are: 0 = success,
1 = failure or'd with 2 = bad mapfile name, 4 = bad mapfile size,
8 = bad eventid, 16 = bad server, 32 = bad script.
43.Fixed hotlinks display bug that affected how hotlinks were displayed
in dialogs.
44.Fixed topics, modes, and several other events not including the year
that the mode was set.
45.Changed About dialog to include check for update button.
46.Added installer check for limited user write access to the selected
install folder when the "portable" option is enabled.
47.Fixed alias/identifier behaviour inconsistency when a recursive call
is attempted which could have led to unexpected results. Both now
halt the script with an error message instead.
48.Changed installer to include links to license and privacy policy.
49.Added CAP userhost-in-names support.
50.Changed CAP support so that CAP END will only be sent once the
server has replied to all requests with ACK or NAK and requests have
been processed.
51.Fixed timezone/daylight savings bug due to a hack around a bug in a
previous version of the C runtime library.
52.Fixed all server messages, such as MOTD, not being timestamped when
timestamp option is enabled.
53.Added CAP server-time and znc.in/server-time[-iso] support. Enabled
automatically with a CAP request if server lists it in CAP LS. If a
server message has a @time prefix with a UTC timestamp, $msgstamp
will return this value.
54.Extended /echo -tN where N is the UTC value you want to use as the
timestamp.
55.Added support for ircs:// secure links.
56.Improved irc/ircs:// links support in the windows registry by adding
the following entries: Class\mIRCURL, Software\Clients\IM\mIRC, and
Software\RegisteredApplications\mIRC.

57.Changed /timer to display seconds in /timers and in $timer().delay,

if seconds are specified on command line.
58.Changed /window -c to not report an error if the non-@window it is
closing does not exist.
59.Fixed status/channel/query right-click popup menu bug that caused
clicked target not setting $1 correctly if /remote is off.
60.Fixed an SSL threading bug that may have caused SSL connections to
crash in some situations.
61.Fixed scripts editor file change monitor bug that may have caused
some file change notifications to be missed.
62.Changed $ticks so that it uses GetTickCount64() if it is available.
63.Fixed /list command bug that caused the channels list to be saved
to the wrong filename in the channels folder if you were connected
to multiple servers.
64.Fixed $read()/play random number bias.
65.Changed $shortfn()/$longfn() to use more reliable method.
66.Fixed $input() display bug with long strings.
23/05/2013 - mIRC v7.32
Changes:
1.Fixed messages being text-wrapped incorrectly in some situations.
2.Fixed SSL certificate files specified in SSL options dialog not
being loaded and used correctly when connecting to a server.
3.Fixed SSL disconnect bug where if an SSL connection failed, other
SSL connections would be disconnected.
4.Updated libraries to zlib 1.2.8 and OpenSSL 1.0.1e.
26/04/2013 - mIRC v7.31
Changes:
1.Fixed editbox buffer bug that was not storing an edited line if you
pressed the up key.
2.Fixed incremental search not working correctly in channels list
window.
3.Changed email catcher to be more strict when determining whether
something looks like an email address.
4.Fixed installer issue that may been the cause of popups.ini files
being overwritten in some situations.
5.Added installer command line options /DESKTOP, /NODESKTOP, /STARTMENU
and /NOSTARTMENU to enable/disable creation of shortcut icons.
6.Added "On Top" menu item to the View menu as users have difficulty
finding it in the system menu when it is enabled.
7.Changed the "File changed" dialog so that it is closed automatically
if a load/reload command applies to the same file.
8.Extended $encode/$decode to support blowfish. By default, the method
is compatible with OpenSSL and uses CBC, key hashing, a random salt
and PKCS#5 padding. The identifier format is:
$encode(%var | &binvar, switches, key, [salt | iv])
$decode(%var | &binvar, switches, key, [salt | iv])
Where the switches are:
method: c = cbc or e = ecb encryption (one or the other)
key: l = literal key (optional, must be 56 characters)
salt/iv: s = salt or i = iv or r = randomiv (all optional)
padding: z = zeros, n = one and zeros, p = spaces (all optional)
9.Fixed SSL caching bug that may have required repeat acceptance of

certficates on some networks. The cache now stores the IP address

of the associated certificate.
10.Changed connection retry method so that if a connection attempt to
an SSL server fails, and the server is part of an IP pool, the next
retry will use the same SSL port.
11.Added DPI awareness to prevent Windows applying display scaling to
mIRC. This should resolve the blurry interface and font issues when
non-standard DPI display settings are used. A number of GUI-related
features needed to be updated to cater for this change, eg. fonts
now use internal defaults of points versus logical sizes. This may
affect scripts that use dialogs and /draw on systems with nonstandard DPI settings.
12.Fixed drag-drop bug that may have caused a gpf when switching
windows between MDI/desktop mode.
13.Added MONITOR protocol support for the notify list. mIRC will use
MONITOR automatically if it is listed in the 005 numeric.
14.Fixed "Check for update" dialog display bug that occurred when the
connection to the website timed out.
15.Fixed $& indentation bug in scripts editor dialog.
16.Changed notify list to dynamically switch between WATCH/MONITOR and
ISON when the number of nicks in the notify list is within/beyond
the WATCH/MONITOR limit set by the server.
17.Optimized switchbar and treebar display speed.
18.Fixed switchbar "auto" lines feature being disabled when switchbar
is repositioned. It is now only disabled if switchbar is resized
vertically.
19.Fixed timestamp bug that may have caused a gpf in some situations if
your timestamp was very long.
20.Fixed timestamp part of a message not being wrapped correctly when
message is initially displayed in a window.
21.Fixed mIRC not handling mouse buttons correctly in some situations
if the user's system is configured to swap mouse buttons.
22.Changed the way the window buffer is trimmed when it reaches the
maximum number of lines set in the Options/Other dialog.
23.Added /close -lk to close channels list and links list windows. Note
that channels list windows cannot be closed if currently listing.
24.Optimized SSL routines.
25.Added SSL identifiers $sslversion, $ssldll and $ssllibdll.
26.Added logging dialog option to enable/disable automatic logging
of status windows.
27.Changed reload log feature so that it is enabled by default for
channels and chats.
16/01/2013 - mIRC v7.29
Changes:
1.Fixed notify list right-click bug that caused the popup menu to not
be displayed or to beep in some situations.
2.Fixed /vol -v not setting master volume on newer versions of Windows.
3.Added support for numerics 275 and 276 in whois replies on specific
ircds.
4.Extended $os to detect Windows 8.
5.Fixed urls in own messages not being saved to the urls list.
08/12/2012 - mIRC v7.28
Changes:
1.Fixed help file issue that prevented /help command from jumping to
the correct location on a help page.
2.Fixed /run command issue that affected backward compatibility with

ambiguous parameter formats used in older scripts.

3.Fixed auto-hide nicklist not hiding when mouse is moved outside of
the channel window in some contexts.
4.Changed Escape key so that it clears the current editbox if the
"Escape key minimizes window" option is not enabled.
5.Fixed channel nicklist popup menu being wrongly displayed when rightclicking in nicklist area and nicklist is auto-hidden.
6.Fixed /exit -r bug not restarting mIRC when scripts editor dialog is
open with unsaved files.
7.Updated libraries to zlib 1.2.7.
8.Fixed tips bug that caused tips to flicker briefly in view when the
"Hide tips when locked" option is enabled and a message is received
while mIRC is minimized and locked.
9.Fixed editbox buffer bugs that appeared in different contexts, such
as when combinations of Control+Up/Down were pressed or the editbox
contained multiple lines entered with the Alt+Enter key.
10.Changed SSL feature to store SSL certificate hashes cache in the
servers.ini file instead of mirc.ini. Also, hashes are now stored
for all certificates, good or bad. If a certificate is good but has
changed since the last connection, a warning is now displayed.
11.Fixed /hotlink bug that prevented hotlink popup menus from being
displayed.
12.Changed display bitmap cache to check if mIRC has been blocked from
capturing screen buffer (which can happen with security software).
If it has, mIRC reverts to slower, non-cache display method.
13.Fixed full screen menu item not being checked when full screen mode
is enabled.
14.Fixed script editor bug that caused a freeze when saving popups to a
non-INI file in certain situations.
15.Changed font dialog so that when "set as default" is checked, "use

30/07/2010 - mIRC v7.1
Changes:
1.This is the first stable release of the new Unicode version of mIRC.
The project to convert mIRC to Unicode has taken almost two years of
development and testing and has required tens of thousands of changes
to 150,000+ lines of source code. This has been the most complex and
time-consuming update to mIRC since it was created in 1995, when it
started out as a non-Unicode, 16-bit, Windows 3.1 application.
Many areas of mIRC have had to be updated or re-written, from file
handling to text processing, from display to memory allocation, from
server communications to file transfers.
mIRC should now be faster, more stable, and more compatible with
the latest versions of Windows, and should be able to better handle
the display and input of a variety of languages.
In addition to being converted to Unicode, there are a few other
notable changes:
Improved Windows 7 compatibility
More reliable INI file handling
Faster text display/scrolling
Speech support
Improved interface design for a number of features
Automatic text color correction
Menubar Alt key show/hide feature
Support for italic text and other font styles
Optimized SSL routines
Status window SSL connection icon
IPv6 support
Improved portable support
Persistent channel history
Digitally signed executables
Automatic splitting of long channel/private messages
Full screen display with F11 function key
UPnP support
Many bug fixes
And more

28/05/2010 - mIRC v7.04
Changes:
1.Added UPnP support. The Ports dialog allows you to enable UPnP
support for retrieving your external IP address, the identd server,
DCC connections, and the DCC server. The first three options are
enabled by default.
mIRC marks UPnP ports that it opens as "mIRC". It closes UPnP ports
the moment they are no longer needed.
If mIRC is connecting to multiple servers at the same that use both
IPv4 and IPv6, the UPnP port for the identd server will only be able
to handle either IPv4 or IPv6 at any one time, since a UPnP port can
only be bound to one address.
If you make any changes to the UPnP options in the Ports dialog, mIRC
performs a quick check to see if UPnP is available and will warn you
if it is not.
2.Added /socklisten -p switch to enable UPnP support for a listening
socket.

there to the data folder.

is maximized.
2.Changed DCC Send/Get switchbar buttons to display progress bar in

server line length, it is sent as mutliple lines.
8.Fixed font bug with reading font settings from mirc.ini.
9.Optimized display routine, should be faster in some situations.
10.Changed richedit editbox support back to riched20.dll since it

are enclosed in quotes.
13.Fixed hotlink feature not handling single-word hostnames.

behave more like older versions now.

UTF-8 encoded when sent to the server. Also added a $rawbytes
identifier that returns the incoming server message prior to any
parsing/decoding.

allow faster/smoother scrolling.

10.Fixed DDE support. Most applications, such as web browsers, can only
reply to ANSI DDE requests, so mIRC now sends DDE requests in ANSI
as opposed to Unicode. mIRC can now reply to both Unicode and ANSI
DDE requests.
11.Changed identd default behavior when choosing userid from email
address or identd userid field.

12.Fixed $ini()/loadbuf combination bug that was fixing/updating an

incorrectly formatted INI file even though it was only being read
by the script.
13.Changed /filter to allow output to the NUL device.
14.Fixed "End of /MOTD" message not being displayed in some cases.
15.Fixed /speak not working with older voices/engines.
16.Fixed /sockwrite -n and /write -a CRLF bugs.
02/04/2010 - mIRC v7.0
Changes:
1.mIRC is now a Unicode application.
2.mIRC now uses its own custom INI routines to ensure more reliable
INI file handling. They should work almost identically to the
standard Windows INI routines.
3.Changed the way microsoft agent is detected by checking for folder
instead of loading agent to cater for Windows 7 issue.
4.Added a bitmap cache to speed up window text display. Depending on
the font you are using, your cleartype settings, and/or your cpu
speed, you should see a significant increase in display speed of text
in all windows.
5.Fixed script editor not filling as much of the editbox buffer as
it could (up to maximum size of 500k) when reading a file.
6.Updated to PCRE library v8.02 and enabled Unicode/UTF-8 support.
7.Fixed /drawrot gpf bug.
8.Fixed tooltips cpu usage bug under Windows 7.

12.Fix internal http routines not handling redirects correctly.
13.Updated to SAPI5+ speech and voice commands to make them work with
Windows 7.
14.Added Speech dialog to Sounds dialog. This replaces the Agents dialog
which is no longer supported by Windows 7. If mIRC notices that
Agents are available on your version of Windows, the Agents dialog
option will still be available.
15.Added /speak -spclu [speed] [pitch] [text] command which speaks the
specified text, where the switches are:
-s
-p

bytes.
17.Fixed default notify sounds not being saved with relative path.
18.Fixed popup loading bug when a file contains empty lines.
19.Fixed on CLOSE event bug with status window requiring * prefix.
20.Extended on CLOSE event to work with channels.
21.Changed on OPEN/CLOSE events to handle parameters like other
similar events. This should not affect existing scripts.
22.Added script editor file menu options "Rename" and "Delete".
23.Added [about] portable=[yes|no] item to mirc.ini that allows you

to enable portable mode more easily on usb drives.

24.Changed mouse wheel routine to correctly handle faster/slower
scrolling.
25.Added CAP LS protocol support. mIRC now sends "CAP LS" as the first
line when connecting to a server before sending NICK/USER to logon.
Currently enables "multi-prefix" and "packet-size=1024" if they are
available.
26.Fixed listbox item height in Control/Color/Highlight dialogs.
27.Fixed text display being clipped incorrectly when using certain
fonts.
28.The Channels List window now updates the horizontal scrollbar
on-the-fly to avoid the display freeze after listing a large number
of channels.
29.Fixed some controls not being disabled in Lock dialog when lock is
enabled.
30.When clicking reset button in Colors dialog, colors are now reset
to the most recent active settings for that theme.
31.mIRC now skips sending "mode +i" on connect if it has already been
set automatically by the server.
32.Changed the design of some of the dialogs in the Options dialog,
the DCC Send/Get dialogs, and others.
33.mIRC no longer requires Full Name and Email Address to be filled
in the connect dialog and sends default values if left empty.
34.On connecting to a server, if both nick and alternative are in use
mIRC appends a random number to your nickname and tries again.
35.Changed /debug windows to no longer interpret colors. They now
display control codes as plain text.
36.Changed USER/NICK logon method to comply with RFC2812.
37.Changed switchbar DCC Send/Get button progress bar, now displays a
small bar under the text.
38.Optimized Unicode font-linking routines.

43.Fixed mIRC main window system menu not being set correctly when
the menbuar is disabled.
44.Renamed "Firewall" dialog "Proxy". Replaced /firewall command with
/proxy although /firewall is still supported.
45.mIRC now disables the proxy if it is enabled in the proxy dialog
but no address is provided and a SOCKS_HOST environment variable
does not exist.
46.Added menbuar auto-show/hide feature that displays the menubar
when you press the Alt key and hides it afterwards.

semi-bold, in font dialog.
51.Added support for Control+I key combination to make italic text
using control code 29.
52.Added support for DLLs that use Unicode routines. By default mIRC
assumes that DLL routines are ANSI for backwards compatibility.
However a DLL can enable Unicode support by setting mUnicode to
TRUE in the LOADINFO structure:
typedef struct {

DWORD mVersion;
HWND mHwnd;
BOOL mKeep;
BOOL mUnicode;
} LOADINFO;
53.Added SendMessage WM_MEVALUATE/WM_MCOMMAND support for Unicode.
By default mIRC assumes that mapped file data is ANSI for backwards
compatibility. However an application can "or" the value 8 in the
cMethod parameter to specify Unicode data.
54.Changed display behavior for a number of dialogs, such as the DCC
Send/Get dialogs, so that buttons are now disabled for a short time
when the dialogs are displayed to prevent accidental typing. If the
user is typing, the buttons remain disabled until the user stops.
Added a 'b' switch to $input() and an "option disable" property to
custom dialogs that enables this behavior.
55.Fixed treebar display bug when displaying DCC window names.
56.Changed script editor Order dialog to automatically select the
active script in the listbox on opening.
57.Updated editbox in all windows and script editor to use richedit 4.1
msftedit.dll for improved Unicode support. If not available reverts
to riched20.dll.
58.Changed line numbering method in script editor, uses more reliable
method that is independent of editbox.
59.Changed status window icon to display a yellow lock when on a secure
connection using SSL.
60.Fixed Control+K color dialog centering bug.
61.Changed servers list sorting method so that the networks listed in
the [networks] section of servers.ini are now placed at the top.
62.Changed DCC Send/Get transfer windows default font, now uses the
system dialog font. Also switched to appropriate system font for
measurements in features such as $input() and popup menus.
63.Changed design of DCC Send/Get transfer windows, interface is now
clearer and the display updates once a second.
64.Changed flood protection to begin working only after receiving the
first numeric to prevent logon issues in some situations.
65.Changed design of the File Type warning dialog, now clearer and also
shows the file extension that was ignored.
66.Optimized the way line indentation works, such as for /echo -iN,
and other displayed lines.
67.Improved tab and indent spacing measurement method for both fixed
and non-fixed width fonts.
68.Improved text-wrapping at whole word boundaries, and now wraps at
both spaces and commas.
69.Numeric 422 "MOTD file is missing" message is no longer displayed
when first connecting to a server.
70.Fixed proxy errors not being displayed correctly in some situations.
71.Added a bind listbox to the Connect/Options/Ports dialog that lists
all active networks interfaces for easy selection. It still allows
you to enter an IP address as well.
72.Updated /dns command, now multi-threaded, resolves concurrently,
and can return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. By default, /dns only
returns IPv4. You can use the switches -46 to return a combination
of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
73.Added support for IPv6 connections. By default, mIRC will always use
IPv4, so IPv6 support must be explicitly enabled using one of these
methods:

1) Enable IPv6 support in the Connect/Options/Ports dialog. This

allows mixed IPv4 and IPv6 connections, with IPv6 taking priority
in DNS resolution. This means that if you try to connect to a server
that has both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, mIRC will try IPv6 first.
2) The bind option in the Connect/Options/Ports dialog. If you
specify an IPv4 or IPv6 adapter/address, DNS resolution and all
connections will be made based on the adapter/address type. If you
explicitly specify an IP address for a connection, such as a /server
or DCC connection, it overrides this setting.
3) The /server command with switches -46 to force DNS resolution
to return either IPv4, IPv6, or both. If you specify an IP address,
it overrides the switches. The server window will use the requested
DNS method for all subsequent connections until you change it with
the /server command.
Note: in order to use IPv6, both your version of Windows and your
Internet connection must support IPv6.
74.Added $iptype(text) identifier, returns "ipv4" or "ipv6" if text is
is a valid IP address format. With IPv6 addresses, the properties
.compress and .expand can be used.
75.Added cue text (optional) to Connect dialog for user name and email
address.
76.Extended $portfree(port,ip) so that you can specify an ip address.
If not specified, all active interfaces are checked as before. An
adapter name can also be used instead of an ip address.
77.Added $bindip(N|ip) identifier. If N is specified, lists active
network adapters with properties .name, .ip, .loopback. If an ip
address is specified, returns best adapter for connecting to that
ip address.
78.Updated to OpenSSL 0.9.8n library.
79.Updated installer to offer a portable install option that can be
used to run mIRC on a USB flash drive.
80.Added support for whois numeric 729.
81.Added "Invalid certificate" disconnect message in the event of an
SSL connection failing due to an invalid certificate. If there is a
DNS pool, mIRC will now continue to retry the connection.
82.Changed /localinfo to report an error if you try to use an invalid
switch. Also fixed /localinfo not setting/saving the local info
results correctly across server windows.
83.Fixed hotlink shift-key display bug.
84.Fixed logfile bug when window is switched between MDI/desktop.
85.Added $file().sig property, checks digital signature of a file.
86.Added check for foreground/background colors in control codes in
text. If they are the same, the foreground color is changed to
ensure the text is visible.
87.Changed color dialog behavior: if you delete all schemes, the
default schemes are added back to the list.
88.Changed position of history menu in file and favorites menus.
89.Added /close -t switch, closes all status windows. If used with -i
switch, closes only if not connected/connecting to a server.
90.Channels history is now saved across sessions to the [chanhist]
section in mirc.ini.
91.Fixed tips display bug that caused tip width to be smaller than
necessary, shortening the title text.
92.Fixed SSL warning dialog bug, was not showing the actual error
message in some cases when a certificate error was detected.
93.Fixed /var gpf bug.

The full versions.txt file has become too large to include in the
distribution, so only the version information for the last version
or so is being included from now on. You can still download the full
versions.txt file from the mIRC website.
