New in mIRC 7.55 (Feb 8, 2019)

New in mIRC 7.54 (Dec 21, 2018)

New in mIRC 7.53 (Nov 29, 2018)

Changes:
Added /set -g switch that makes /set change a global variable.
Added /unset -gl switches that make /unset change a global or local
variable.
Changed udpate check/other features to avoid insecure SSL protocols in
HTTP requests under Windows XP.
Changed all time-related features to use 64bit time values.
Fixed hotlink parsing of mailto: and similar URIs.
Added hotlink parsing of URIs xmpp, teamspeak, ssh, and sftp.
Extended /drawpic -o [N] to refer to frames in a GIF file.
Added /drawpic -f switch that works with -o to specify the Nth icon
and the Mth frame in that icon by using /drawpic -of [N] [M].
Extended $pic() to support properties .icons, .frames, .delay and
to allow specifying N and M parameters.
Added voice selection to speech options.
Fixed $onpoly() not handling zero area polygons correctly.
Changed $onpoly()/$inpoly() implementations from regions to maths.
Updated PCRE regex library to v8.42.
Fixed script parser bug that caused mIRC to process Windows messages
while a script was running.
Changed $encode() base32 to use 72 character chunks.
Fixed /ialfill not displaying channel name when fill completes.
Updated CA root certificates cacert.pem file.
Fixed $ctime() returning incorrect result at midnight before a new
year begins.
Changed the way maximum server line lengths are applied to various
commands and features.
Added /privmsg command.
Added support for CPRIVMSG and CNOTICE. If listed in numeric 005,
PRIVMSG and NOTICE will be automatically upgraded for most
outgoing messages if you are an op/voice on a channel and message
a user on the same channel.
Added support for numeric 005 STATUSMSG=@+ and WALLVOICES and added
commands /vmsg, /vnotice, and /wallvoices. If server does not support
STATUSMSG, WALLCHOPS, or WALLVOICES, mIRC uses own method to send to
multiple targets.
Changed line splitting method for long messages when:
1) Sending message through editbox of a channel/query window.
2) Using commands /ame /amsg /describe /me /msg /omsg /privmsg /qme
/qmsg /query /sound /vmsg /wallchops.
Note: when line splitting, the /sound command switches to an ACTION
message for the second line onwards.
Note: line splitting is not performed on NOTICEs, so is not applied
to /notice /onotice /vnotice /wallvoices.
Changed multiple target handling in PRIVMSG and NOTICE so that if
TARGMAX or MAXTARGETS are not specified in numeric 005, mIRC assumes
the maximum is one target per message.
Changed channel favorites dialog drag-resize method.
Changed channel mode parsing in numeric 324 and MODE events to handle
channel keys hidden from non-ops only on the Undernet ircd. As there
is no numeric 005 token for this, this is based on the Undernet ircd
version number in numeric 004.
Note: Added support for numeric 005 HIDDENKEY token. When specified,
this means that non-ops on a channel receive the * character as the
channel key in numeric 324 and MODE events. Clients should treat the
* character (or whatever character/string is sent) as a non-key if
they are not ops. If the user is then opped, their client can issue
a MODE to retrieve the real key.
Changed STATUSMSG support to use only NOTICE on the Undernet ircd,
which is the only method Undernet supports. On all other ircds,
STATUSMSG implies NOTICE/PRIVMSG. As there is no numeric 005 token
for this, this is based on the Undernet ircd version number in
numeric 004.
Increased the size of short, medium, and long string lengths used
throughout mIRC that affect features such as variables, window names,
and so on.
Increased stack reserve size from 2 to 8 megabytes.
Added identifiers $maxlens $maxlenm $maxlenl that return the maximum
string lengths for small, medium, and large strings.
Note: although it is possible in some situations, eg. when assigning
values to variables, to store slightly longer strings, the values
returned by the above identifiers should be treated as maximums.
Changed CAP packet-size request to use mIRC's medium string length,
as returned by $maxlenm. The previous version was requesting 1024. If
a server replies with a different value, mIRC will use it, with a
mimumum of 512 and a maximum of $maxlenm.
Changed base64 implementation for $decode() to handle invalid input
lengths better.
Added $eventparms identifer that returns the event-specific parameters
passed to an executed command in a script.
Changed /ialfill to not issue a WHO if it thinks the IAL list is
already filled or currently filling.
Changed $base() to only remove the 0x prefix from base16 input.
Changed perform, and the joining of channels, on connect to trigger
only after a short delay, if the server connection uses nickserv to
identify a nickname. This ensures that you are able to join channels
that only allow identified users.
Fixed while loop parsing bug when $& is used to separate comparison
parameters.
Changed when the raw event for invite (as a channel notification)
triggers to allow the /haltdef of default display text.
Fixed options/connect dialog new status window being opened with the
current status window's SSL port/state.
40.Updated OpenSSL library to v1.0.2p.
41.Added support for IRCv3 nested batches. This goes beyond the basic
batch support in previous versions and implements the full
specification, which includes nested batches and delaying batch
execution until end of batch is received. This includes support
for draft/label and draft/labeled-response.
Extended $hfind() 'w' and 'r' parameters to search entire length of
binary variable data. Note that in the case of 'r', long results
will be truncated due to internal string length limits.
Fixed $hash() parsing bug that caused a break evaluation error.
Changed how mIRC manages its string pool memory to ensure that very
large strings are freed immediately.
Changed $hfind() to allow $null text parameter.
Fixed on NOTIFY/UNOTIFY events not resetting print/halt state across
events.
Changed the way long lines are displayed to get around ExtTextOut()
timeout limitation.
Changed default hash table hash function to modified FNV-1A for
improved distribution.
Added support for dynamic-resizing in hash tables for features like
the IAL, nickname lists, INI files, etc. that start off with small
hash tables and expand as necessary to improve performance.
Fixed $readini() reporting an evaluation error when reading a line
that contains only empty spaces.
Changed the [dirs] section to always contain "getdir", refers to
the default item in [extensions].
Updated TagLib sound library to latest fixes.
In preparation for language translation support, changes have been
made to the way resources are loaded, the resources file has been
changed to Unicode, and many string resources have been cleaned up
and/or re-worded to improve context and make translation easier.
54.Fixed $cb() not delimiting different combinations of $cr, $lf, and
$crlf correctly in the same text.
55.Fixed $var().secs for local variables returning global variable
values.
56.Added /load -aN switch that loads alias file into Nth position.
57.Fixed $cb(0,u) not returning line count.
58.Extended /debug -t timestamp to apply to log files.
59.Changed how /clipboard and $cb() are called to mitigate clipboard
being in use by other applications.
60.Fixed $isbit()/$biton()/$bitoff() allowing N outside range 1 to 32.
61.Changed /var to report an error if it is used outside a script.
62.Added /hload and /hsave -B switch that uses a larger index to allow
longer binary data to be saved. This is not compatible with files
created by the -b switch.
63.Changed script editor editbox to allow longer lines before it starts
wrapping.
64.Changed DCC Send file dialog to display some custom controls better
under dark mode in Windows 10.
65.Fixed /ignore -l not showing items in ignore list.

New in mIRC 7.49 (May 25, 2017)

New in mIRC 7.48 (Apr 17, 2017)

Changes:
Extended $com() to handle one dimensional single-byte array results which are now copied into the specified &binvar
Fixed $com() memory bug that resulted in memory not being freed after a dispatch pointer request
Fixed on RAWMODE not triggering for invalid mode changes such as a channel mode change for a user that is not on the channel

Added /server -l method parameter where method can be: pass, sasl, external, msg, nickserv
Added $server()method property to return server login method
Added CAP support for extended-join and account-notify These are enabled automatically on connect if available and provide the account names of users in JOIN/ACCOUNT events ACCOUNT events are not shown but are used to update $ial()account They trigger as RAW events
Added CAP support for away-notify This is automatically enabled if available and makes the server send AWAY events to the client indicating the away state of users on the same channels as you AWAY events are not shown but are used to set $ial()away They trigger as RAW events
Added CAP support for account-tag This is automatically enabled if available and makes the server include the user's @acount=name in the message-tag for messages sent by that user

Added channel central support for +q quiet list channel mode supported by some networks Also added $chan()iql, $iql(), and isquiet
Note: the quiet list numerics and their format vary across IRC networks: some use 728 and 729, others use 344 and 345, some use a 'q' parameter, other do not Also, some networks use these numerics for other events, eg 345 for invites and 729 for whois mIRC has to perform parameter checks on these numerics to decide what they mean on a server
Extended numeric 334 support for networks that use it as part of a whois reply that provides the user's location This numeric is also used as a list/command syntax reply on other networks
Fixed WM_ENDSESSION handling bug that resulted in mIRC being closed by Windows before it could save all settings
Fixed group changes via enable/disable commands not being saved if used during the on UNLOAD event
Improved /who tracking method
Extended $regsub() to support output to a &binvar
Extended $regsubex() to support output to a %var|&binvar, and to return N, as long as the name parameter is specified
Extended /ban to support -beIq switches These can be stacked but are issued as separate modes
Extended per network channel key history that remembers keys of joined channels for the current mIRC session Now used automatically in more joins eg after reconnect, in new server windows, and so on

Optimized the channel central +beIq lookup routines
Extended /timer -pr switches to support wildcards
Fixed $sound()vbr bug
Added /drawsize @ <w h> that sets the bitmap size for picture windows up to a maximum of 8192 x 8192 pixels Note: 1) a bitmap cannot be sized to less than the largest point that has been drawn on it (which can be reset with /clear), 2) once a size has been set, changing the window size will not resize it to less than the set size
Fixed /drawreplace not setting largest point drawn to correctly

Added $isalias() property .ftype and now allows listing of lines in multi-line aliases using $isalias(alias,N).alias.
Fixed $msgtags not being reset immediately after an event.
Fixed $eval() bug that caused over-evaluation in some cases.
Fixed logging bug with large log files.
Fixed log view dialog file size bug with large log files.
Extended $com() to allow passing parameters in from and results out to binary variables. To pass parameters in from binary variables, prefix the variable type with & to indicate the parameter is a binary variable eg. $com(name, member, method, &bstr, &binvar). To retrieve a result into a binary variable, use $com(name, &binvar).result.
Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.2g library.
Extended $sysdir() to support downloads folder.
Updated to PCRE 8.38 library.
Added CA root certificates cacert.pem file to installer. On a new install, mIRC will default to using this as the trusted authorities file if found in the mIRC folder.
Fixed $findfile()/$finddir() not responding to Control+Break.
Added regex modifier 'u' which enables PCRE_UTF8 and PCRE_UCP in the same way as PHP.
Fixed CAP bug that caused mIRC not to parse the capabilities list if it was not prefixed by a : colon.
Updated code signing certificate to SHA-256. Binaries are now dual code-signed with SHA-1 and SHA-256.

Added command warning dialog that warns new users when they enter a scripting command into an editbox. The option is enabled by default and can be enabled/disabled in the Options/Other/Confirm dialog.
Added $unsafe(text) identifier for use with, for example, user input in /timer commands, that delays evaluation of text for one level of evaluation.
Moved send file dialog options, such as packet size, to DCC Options dialog.
Updated all file dialogs, including the send file dialog, to use modern file dialogs.
Updated to NSIS 2.50 installer and related plugins.

Fixed numeric 353 and 366 bug that caused them to trigger the raw event even if raw was disabled.
Fixed if/while bracket parsing bug that caused mIRC to freeze with a certain combination of separators and brackets.
Added /write -mN switch, where N = 0 is the default behaviour, N = 1 adds CRLF to end of file if not already there before writing a line, and N = 2 never adds CRLF to end of file before writing a line.
Added check for servers that include MONITOR in numeric 005 but do not actually support it. mIRC reverts back to ISON in this case.
Fixed on UNLOAD event not being triggered when a file is deleted via the Script Editor File/Delete menu item.
Fixed treebar expand/collapse bug that was causing treebar not to update correctly.
Fixed dcc chat window beep on incoming text not paying attention to the "Enable Sounds" option in the options dialog.
Fixed active "A" letter not appearing on tray icon for the active mIRC when more than one mIRC is running.
Updated installer so that, if installing as non-portable, it writes to the registry to set mIRC as an IRC protocol handler and to make mIRC appear in the default programs list. mIRC also does this itself on startup if run as non-portable and as an administrator. On Windows 8 onwards, administrator access is not required for this to work.
Added installer /NOADMIN switch to allow running installer without administrator access.
Updated installer to remove legacy code that was needed for older Windows versions.
Added "Certficate" menu item to status window system menu that allows viewing of the SSL certificate for an SSL connection.
Changed /exit -r to no longer restart mIRC using a short filename, which had been necessary under older Windows versions.
Changed SSL certificate warning dialog to center based on the status window position as opposed to the mIRC window.
Changed various dialogs to center in the middle of the MDI window if the top MDI window is zoomed.
Fixed SSL memory leak that caused small amounts of memory not to be freed during initial connection.
Added regex modifier 'F' that makes \N back-references in patterns and N indexes in identifiers refer to the () capture group order. It also causes $regml() to include empty () matches. This makes the regex feature work like standard regex. Help file has been updated to include these details.
Added $regmlex(name,M,N) where M is the match number (in case of multiple /g global matches) and N is the () group number. If N is not specified, it defaults to 1.
Extended $url to work with browsers that do not support DDE, like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

20.Added CA root certificates cacert.pem file to installer. On a new install, mIRC will default to using this as the trusted authorities
file if found in the mIRC folder.
21.Fixed $findfile()/$finddir() not responding to Control+Break.
22.Added regex modifier 'u' which enables PCRE_UTF8 and PCRE_UCP in the same way as PHP.
23.Fixed CAP bug that caused mIRC not to parse the capabilities list if
it was not prefixed by a : colon.
24.Updated code signing certificate to SHA-256. Binaries are now dual code-signed with SHA-1 and SHA-256.
25.Updated to TagLib 1.11 library.
26.Extended $regex() to allow unlimited backreferences.
27.Added $file().version to return file version of executable/DLL.
28.Extended $bvar(&binvar) to return name if &binvar exists.
29.Added $font(N/name) identifier with properties .size, .pitch, and
.type.
30.Added command warning dialog that warns new users when they enter a scripting command into an editbox. The option is enabled by default and can be enabled/disabled in the Options/Other/Confirm dialog.
31.Added $unsafe(text) identifier for use with, for example, user input
in /timer commands, that delays evaluation of text for one level of
evaluation.
32.Moved send file dialog options, such as packet size, to DCC Options dialog.
33.Updated all file dialogs, including the send file dialog, to use
modern file dialogs.
34.Updated to NSIS 2.50 installer and related plugins.
35.Fixed mode +q event being processed as on OWNER/DEOWNER event on networks that use +q as a channel mode.
36.Fixed numeric 353 and 366 bug that caused them to trigger the raw event even if raw was disabled.
37.Fixed if/while bracket parsing bug that caused mIRC to freeze with a certain combination of separators and brackets.
38.Added /write -mN switch, where N = 0 is the default behaviour, N = 1 adds CRLF to end of file if not already there before writing a line,
and N = 2 never adds CRLF to end of file before writing a line.
39.Added check for servers that include MONITOR in numeric 005 but do not actually support it. mIRC reverts back to ISON in this case.
40.Fixed on UNLOAD event not being triggered when a file is deleted
via the Script Editor File/Delete menu item.
41.Fixed treebar expand/collapse bug that was causing treebar not to update correctly.
42.Fixed dcc chat window beep on incoming text not paying attention to the "Enable Sounds" option in the options dialog.
43.Fixed active "A" letter not appearing on tray icon for the active mIRC when more than one mIRC is running.
44.Updated installer so that, if installing as non-portable, it writes to the registry to set mIRC as an IRC protocol handler and to make mIRC appear in the default programs list. mIRC also does this itself on startup if run as non-portable and as an administrator. On Windows 8 onwards, administrator access is not required for this to work.
45.Added installer /NOADMIN switch to allow running installer without administrator access.
46.Updated installer to remove legacy code that was needed for older Windows versions.
47.Added "Certficate" menu item to status window system menu that allows viewing of the SSL certificate for an SSL connection.
48.Changed /exit -r to no longer restart mIRC using a short filename, which had been necessary under older Windows versions.
49.Changed SSL certificate warning dialog to center based on the status window position as opposed to the mIRC window.
50.Changed various dialogs to center in the middle of the MDI window if the top MDI window is zoomed.
51.Fixed SSL memory leak that caused small amounts of memory not to be freed during initial connection.
52.Added regex modifier 'F' that makes \N back-references in patterns and N indexes in identifiers refer to the () capture group order. It also causes $regml() to include empty () matches. This makes the regex feature work like standard regex. Help file has been updated to include these details.
53.Added $regmlex(name,M,N) where M is the match number (in case of multiple /g global matches) and N is the () group number. If N is not specified, it defaults to 1.
54.Extended $url to work with browsers that do not support DDE, like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

Reverted Channels List window change so that modes are included in the listing again.
Fixed hash table bug that would have caused a crash if mIRC was unable to allocate memory for the table.
Fixed INI file bug where mIRC was not unloading an INI file if it no longer existed, ie. when deleted by another application.
Added $comchar identifier to return the command prefix character.
Fixed connection timeout not being applied while a STARTTLS handshake is in progress.
Fixed script editor bug that caused popups text not to be displayed correctly in some situations.
Fixed confirm exit dialog bug that was not detecting if any DCC gets were in progress.
Updated many routines to use 32/64-bit compatible types as a first step in preparing for a 64bit version of mIRC.
Fixed icon loading routine bug that may have caused an incorrect icon size to be loaded.
Changed threaded critical sections from InitializeCriticalSection to InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount to improve performance in some contexts.

New in mIRC 7.38 (Nov 27, 2014)

New in mIRC 7.37 Beta (Nov 8, 2014)

Fixed /window -dC bug not centering @window on the same the monitor as the main mIRC window.
Fixed Window Order dialog not allowing entry of long channel names.
Fixed $sockerr being incorrectly set in some socket events.
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.
Fixed channels list display bug when list reply includes channel modes. The modes are no longer displayed in the channels list.
Updated compiler options to improve buffer overrun defenses and enabled heap metadata protection on Vista onwards.
Added check for numeric 447 issued by some servers when a /list request is sent.
Added Windows entering sleep/hibernation detection at which point mIRC will immediately save unwritten INI settings as a precaution.
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.
Added /sockopen -t switch that initiates an SSL negotiation on a non-SSL connection, eg. as with STARTTLS, and a $sock().starttls identifier.
Fixed /sockread unsetting local variable instead of setting it to an empty value in some contexts.
Fixed /whois results being incorrectly displayed in @debug window if it happened to be active in some contexts.
Fixed SSL port cycling bug.
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.
Fixed /server -nm not setting channels list filename correctly when server window is created.
Changed channels list "hide non-text channels" option to allow display of double-prefix channels.
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.
Fixed recent server connections not being saved to servers.ini file if the "move to top on connect" option was disabled.
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.
Added ircs:// support to URL catcher.
Changed log view window, opened by logging dialog, so that it is positioned at the end of the switchbar/treebar window list.
Fixed switchbar/treebar display bug that caused windows to be displayed in the wrong order in some situations.
Changed $sound() to use the TagLib library for improved reading of MP3 and other media file formats.
Added Shift-F3 key support in Scripts Editor to search backwards through text.
Fixed timezone bug that caused timezones with non-whole hour offsets to be handled incorrectly.
Updated manifest files to indicate Windows 8/8.1 compatibility.
Extended $os identifier to detect 8.1.
Fixed dialogs display bug that caused dialogs opened via MDI window system menu to be offset incorrectly.
Fixed $did bug that caused $did to be reset inside an event in some situations.
Changed SSL accepted cipher list to ALL:!ADH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:!3DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS:!SSLv2:!LOW.
Added "ciphers" item to [ssl] section in mirc.ini that allows you to specify list of accepted ciphers.
Updated libraries to PCRE v8.36 and OpenSSL 1.0.1j.
Changed connection error messages to include actual SSL error messages provided by OpenSSL.
Changed $input() to allow entering of longer text and limiting text entry to maximum length.
Fixed text display spacing bug with zero width characters.
Fixed timezone/daylight savings bug that was affecting timestamping and time/date identifiers.

New in mIRC 7.36 (Aug 14, 2014)

New in mIRC 7.35 Beta (Aug 5, 2014)

Fixed slow mark/copy text in windows that contain long lines.
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.
Reverted change to alias/identifiers when called recursively that caused the script to be halted with a recursion error warning.
Fixed listbox with checkboxes bug that caused checkboxes to be checked if you scrolled through them with the up/down keys.
Changed channel folder dialog so that it can now be resized.
Changed online timer dialog to display information more clearly.
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.
Added $onlineserver to return current server online time and $onlinetotal to return total online time.
Fixed Shift+Tab beeping when switching to listbox in channel window.
Fixed $fullscreen not working on a non-primary monitor.
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.
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.
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.
The find dialog in the script editor now remembers its position for the current mIRC session.
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.
Fixed lock dialog bug that caused mIRC to ask for a password if the on startup option was enabled without setting a password.
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.
Fixed isignore only accepting types, now also accepts switches.
Fixed CAP server-time time value not being used when timestamping an event in the log file.

New in mIRC 7.34 (Jun 19, 2014)

Fixed $ini() bug that resulted in an incorrect count being returned with a particular combination of subject and key parameters.
Added /var -n switch to make /var treat input as plain text.
Fixed /loadbuf bug that skipped empty lines when loading a topic.
Changed HTTP routines to use POST with form parameters instead of GET with URL parameters.
Fixed $line() with Channels List window so that it references the current search results instead of the full list.
Fixed while/if loop error reporting bug.
Fixed /hotlink -m menu not working correctly when a menu item is selected.
Fixed channel central limit bug that caused invalid limit values sent by the server to be stored incorrectly.
Fixed channel titlebar not displaying numeric modes.
Fixed /timer bug when using the [time] parameter that caused it to execute twice on reaching [time].
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. Changed /localhost -p UPnP method to use local interface address instead of 127.0.0.1.
Fixed on SOCKWRITE event not being triggered for UDP events when an error occurs.
Fixed editbox focus not being set on restored desktop windows.
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.
Fixed right-click popup menus in listbox windows not working on Windows 8 tablet touch screens when using press-and-hold.
Fixed INI file save bug that was causing a gpf if the INI file was already in use by another application.
Fixed full screen menubar bug that caused the menubar to be displayed incorrectly in a multi-monitor setup in some cases.
Added /fopen -x switch that opens a file for exclusive access. If another application is using the file, /fopen will fail.
Fixed /hsave to an INI file not clearing section before writing hash table items to it.
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.
Fixed /echo -h bug that caused text not to hard-wrap.
Fixed $ctime() bug where "nd" values were not being recognized.
Updated libraries to PCRE v8.35 and OpenSSL 1.0.1g.
Fixed $msfile() bug when too many filenames were selected under Windows 7/8.
Fixed $sdir() bug that caused selected folder not to be scrolled into view when dialog is displayed under Windows 7/8.
Added math identifiers $atan2(y,x), $hypot(x,y), $log10(x), sinh(x), $cosh(x), $tanh(x).
Fixed $onpoly() bug due to rounding errors that may have returned true in rare cases where two lines are very close.
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.
Fixed /drawdot bug that caused it to be drawn slightly off center.
Added $input() 'f' switch that forces the return of $no/$cancel for edit/combo boxes.
Fixed SSL certificate password dialog box being displayed multiple times when multiple SSL connections are in progress.
Added display of "Connect cancelled" message when a connection attempt/retry cycle has ended completely.
Added a single, standard lock/password dialog for use by all features to replace multiple older implementations.
Fixed SendMessage() WM_MCOMMAND bug that would have returned a successful result to the calling application even if the command had in fact failed.
Added support for encrypting server passwords in servers.ini. Old plain text passwords are converted to the new format.
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.
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.
Added another method for detecting Wine, as a backup to the current method.
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.
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.
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.
Fixed hotlinks display bug that affected how hotlinks were displayed in dialogs.
Fixed topics, modes, and several other events not including the year that the mode was set.
Changed About dialog to include check for update button.
Added installer check for limited user write access to the selected install folder when the "portable" option is enabled.
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.
Changed installer to include links to license and privacy policy.
Added CAP userhost-in-names support.
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.
Fixed timezone/daylight savings bug due to a hack around a bug in a previous version of the C runtime library.
Fixed all server messages, such as MOTD, not being timestamped when timestamp option is enabled.
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.
Extended /echo -tN where N is the UTC value you want to use as the timestamp.
Added support for ircs:// secure links.
Improved irc/ircs:// links support in the windows registry by adding the following entries: Class\mIRCURL, Software\Clients\IM\mIRC, and Software\RegisteredApplications\mIRC.
Changed /timer to display seconds in /timers and in $time().delay, if seconds are specified on command line.
Changed /window -c to not report an error if the non-@window it is closing does not exist.
Fixed status/channel/query right-click popup menu bug that caused clicked target not setting $1 correctly if /remote is off.
Fixed an SSL threading bug that may have caused SSL connections to crash in some situations.
Fixed scripts editor file change monitor bug that may have caused some file change notifications to be missed.
Changed $ticks so that it uses GetTickCount64() if it is available.
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.
Fixed $read()/play random number bias.
Changed $shortfn()/$longfn() to use more reliable method.
Fixed $input() display bug with long strings.

Fixed editbox buffer bug that was not storing an edited line if you pressed the up key.
Fixed incremental search not working correctly in channels list window.
Changed email catcher to be more strict when determining whether something looks like an email address.
Fixed installer issue that may been the cause of popups.ini files being overwritten in some situations.
Added installer command line options /DESKTOP, /NODESKTOP, /STARTMENU and /NOSTARTMENU to enable/disable creation of shortcut icons.
Added "On Top" menu item to the View menu as users have difficulty finding it in the system menu when it is enabled.
Changed the "File changed" dialog so that it is closed automatically if a load/reload command applies to the same file.
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 (see versions file for more details).
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.
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.
Enabled 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 non-standard DPI settings.
Fixed drag-drop bug that may have caused a gpf when switching windows between MDI/desktop mode.
Added MONITOR protocol support for the notify list. mIRC will use MONITOR automatically if it is listed in the 005 numeric.
Fixed "Check for update" dialog display bug that occurred when the connection to the website timed out.
Fixed $& indentation bug in scripts editor dialog.
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.
Optimized switchbar and treebar display speed.
Fixed switchbar "auto" lines feature being disabled when switchbar is repositioned. It is now only disabled if switchbar is resized vertically.
Fixed timestamp bug that may have caused a gpf in some situations if your timestamp was very long.
Fixed timestamp part of a message not being wrapped correctly when message is initially displayed in a window.
Fixed mIRC not handling mouse buttons correctly in some situations if the user's system is configured to swap mouse buttons.
Changed the way the window buffer is trimmed when it reaches the maximum number of lines set in the Options/Other dialog.
Added /close -lk to close channels list and links list windows, however note that channels list window cannot be closed if it is currently listing.
Optimized SSL routines.
Added SSL identifiers $sslversion, $ssldll and $ssllibdll.
Added logging dialog option to enable/disable automatic logging of status windows.
Changed reload log feature so that it is enabled by default for channels and chats.
