July 31st, 2010· 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
