mIRC Co Ltd - (Shareware)
mIRC helps to get in touch with family, friends, colleagues on IRC networks around the world.
mIRC is a communication software that allows to chat with other users through chat rooms hosted within IRC (Internet Relay Chat) servers. This software also allows to connect through proxies and firewalls.
mIRC is a reference in this field because it is one of the first software that allowed such dialogues on the Internet.
The interface is not easy for a beginner and need to know the basics of IRC to be able to use it. By cons, all options are available IRC (much of the mouse).
mIRC is highly configurable, allowing to program aliases, commands and events. It also supports sending and receiving files.
This version of mIRC is primarily a security release. mIRC users are advised to upgrade to this version due to a security issue related to very long nicknames on non-standard servers.
Several other small issues have also been fixed in this release.
Although this is a minor update, it includes important changes and all users are advised to upgrade.
Full list of Fixes, Changes and Additions:
1.Fixed nickname bug where very long nicknames (hundreds of characters
in length) sent by the server would cause mIRC to crash.
2.Updated to PCRE v7.8 and OpenSSL 0.9.8i libraries.
3.Added Script Editor option to disable line numbers.
4.Fixed /toolbar bug where setting a bitmap for a default button was
not working correctly.
5.Added custom dialog support for "rich" editbox property that allows
an arbitrary "limit" on the amount of text.
6.Fixed window listbox display bug when moving the horizontal scrollbar
all the way to the right.
