- 28.Auto-join on invite now ignores invites to
- channel 0. (/join 0 makes you part all channels,
- seems to be an irc server feature).
- 29.Finger window is restored if it is minimized
- when you try to do a finger.
- 30.Changed /list command so you don't have to prefix

- 20/03/96 - mIRC v4.0 (final version)
-
- Fixes/Additions:
- 1.Fixed standard editbox popup menu under 95 not
- being displayed on a right mouse-click.
- 2.Fixed problem with /ctcp to a user with "dcc"
- in nickname.

- 4.Fixed "parameter dialog" popping up bug.
- 5.Fixed Channel Dialog gpf bug if kicked while

- in mIRC's directory, as well as the readme.txt,
- versions.txt, and update.txt files, for quick
- access. Also adds internal aliases that match

- the help menu you can type /winsock <topic>. The
- menu is always updated before it is displayed.
- 7.[removed]
- 8.Added "play wave" options to event beeps section.
- 9.Now remembers DDE settings across sessions,
- added to "Servers" section in options dialog.
- 10.Added "Popup notify window on connect" option.
- 11.Added new configurable menu which allows you to
- add a menu to the main menu bar. This menu has
- the functionality of both the main, query,
- and nickname popup menus, and allows you to

- of windows.

- in the remote.
- 13.Fixed channel list "Hide" parameters being
- erased in certain situations.
- 14.Modularized Tab dialog routines so now they're
- "completely" independent of the rest of the code.
- 15.Improved setup dialog/server selection:
- a) Added "group" definition to servers. When sorting
- the servers list this groups servers with the
- same group name together.
- b) Added "connection retry" options. One second
- delay inbetween connect retries.
- c) Can select multiple servers to connect to.
- d) Can do "/server groupname" which will cycle through
- all servers of group "groupname" when trying to connect.
-
- NOTE:
- When using the 16bit mIRC, winsock will "freeze" sometimes
- when cancelling a connection. This is because winsock has
- to timeout... as far as I know, mIRC can do nothing about
- this since it is built-in to winsock, so even if mIRC
- cancels a connection, winsock still waits for 10 seconds
- *anyway* before completing the cancellation. This might
- result in other problems.
-
- 16.Added "Popup channel folder on connect" option.
- 17.Now capitalizes the first word in a ctcp message.
- 18.Notify:
- a) Now has it's own window in options dialog.
- b) Number of nicks is unlimited.

- /events [on|off] turns only events on/off, and
- /remote [on|off] now turns both commands and events on/off.
- 20.Added other beep/close options to dcc options dialog.
- 21.Fixed $parms bug, was only storing first 256 chars.
- 22.Added "Place ? marked urls at top of list" option in url options.
- 23.Can now do "/ignore -auN", which unignores the
- specified address after N seconds. Can now also do,
- /ignore -apcnti, where p=private,c=channel,n=notice,
- t=ctcp,i=invite.
- 24.Can now enter auto-op addresses with channels,
- eg. nick!user@address,#mirc,#mircplus
- 25.All /dde commands are now buffered and sent at intervals
- specified by the DDE delay option.
- 26.Added /clearall command which clears buffers of all
- status, channel, and private windows.
- 27.Now warns you if you try to quit mIRC when there are
- DCC Transfers in progress.
- 28.[removed]
- 29./links command results are now displayed in a coloured
- tree fashion to make it more readable (?)
- 30.Added "pop up setup dialog on startup" option.
- 31.Improved speed of text display slightly.
- 32.Fixed /rlevel not removing levels in certain situations.
- 33.Added -s<text> option to /write command, scans file for a
- line beginning with <text> and writes to it.

- 35.Added /groups [-e|d] command which lists all, enabled,
- and disabled groups in remote definitions.
- 36.Can now use #$?#="etc." which will ask for a channel
- name if you try to use the command in a non-channel
- window, otherwise it uses the channel name of the
- currently active channel window.
- 37.Command parsing routine completely rewritten, much
- more robust and evaluates identifiers etc. more
- intelligently now. However, because of increased
- processing/checking etc. this routine is now slower
- than the older routine.
- 38.Moved Ident server options to setup dialog.
- 39./speak command requests are now also placed

- a firewall yet though.
- 55.Added "IP method" option for users with different
- winsock setups.
- 56.Fixed DCC Sending a file with the same name as users

- 3.Added option to auto-resume existing files.
- 4.Fixed /echo with invalid parameters gpfing.

- to speak the specified text.
- 8.Added /dns <nick/address> which resolves addresses.
- If mIRC sees a "." in the name you specify it assumes
- it's an address and tries to resolve it. Otherwise
- it assumes it's a nickname and does a /whois to
- find the users address and then looks it up. If you
- give it an IP address, it looks up the host name.
- 9.Removed small users window in remote dialog, now
- using one big window for users, commands, and events.
- 10.The Add Dialog has been discontinued. Check out the
- alias, popup, and remote dialogs for the improvement.
-
- IT IS *HIGHLY* RECOMMENDED THAT THE ALIAS, POPUP,
- AND REMOTE SECTIONS BE SAVED SEPERATE FROM THE
- MAIN MIRC.INI FILE FROM NOW ON. THE MIRC.INI
- CAN'T HANDLE THE STORAGE OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF
- INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY THE ALIAS, POPUP,
- AND REMOTE SECTIONS.
-
- 11.Finally fixed DCC Send/Get windows sometimes
- not auto-closing at end of transfer (?)
- 12.Right-clicking in a non-active window will now
- bring it to the top and make it active.
- 13.Fixed socket error message when running second
- copy of mIRC (didn't actually affect anything).
- 14.For new users, mIRC no longer copies the mirc.ini
- to the windows directory but leaves it and uses it
- in the same directory as the EXE. However, if it
- finds an mirc.ini in the windows directory it will
- use it (to remain compatible with older users).
- 15.Small fixes relating to Function keys.
- 16.Can now use /load -apuce <file.ini> or
- /save -apuce <file.ini> to load and save aliases,
- popups, and remote sections from the command line.
- NOTE: You can only refer to one section at a time,
- so you can't do /load -ap some.ini.
- 17.All memory in the parsing and remote routines is
- now allocated dynamically.
- 18.Added ignore options to dcc send/chat in the dcc
- options dialog. Can also use /sreq and /creq
- (send request and chat request) with the parameters
- [ ask | auto | ignore] from the command line.
- 19.Added "ON CHAT:text:/msg ..." and ON SERV events to
- scan text in dcc chat windows and fileserver windows.
- 20.Added command line option to connect to a server and
- join channels which is more of a standard WWW link
- definition: //server:port/#channel,#channel
- 21.Fixed GPF problem for some users when quitting mIRC (?)
- 22.Added /flush [levels] command. This clears the remote user
- list of nicknames that are no longer valid. For each nick
- in the user list that matches the specified levels mIRC
- checks to see if that nick is on any of the channels that
- you are currently on. If not, the nick definition is removed
- from the user list. If you do not specify [levels] then
- mIRC clears all nicks from the user list that don't exist
- on channels you are on.
- 23.Added "me" prefix to remote definitions, eg.:
- me:1:ON JOIN:/msg etc...
- This limits a command definition to reacting only to
- events caused by your client. This is useful in case you
- use Bots which have the same address as you.
- 24.The address in the Finger dialog now defaults to
- the last address which was fingered.
- 25.The /play command has been improved in a major way,
- it can now queue requests (see the help file!)
- 26.Fixed bug with highlighting in query windows.
- 27.Added Finger server (must be set up in a certain
- way, see the help file on how to do this).
- 28.Added ON SNOTICE event, which listens for server
- notices and can filter them ie. prevent them from
- being displayed.
- 29.Remodelled the setup dialog. Can now also store
- an unlimited number of servers.
- 30.If /finger sees a "." in the parameter you give it, it
- will assume it's an address and will finger it, otherwise
- it will assume it's a nickname and will do a /whois on the
- nick to find their address and use that for the finger.
- 31.Added option to change tooltip delay.
- 32.Split the "Beep on window message" option into two...
- "Beep on channel message" and "Beep on query message".
- 33.Fixed the notify bug which would result in mIRC telling
- you all the people on your notify list are on... then
- off... then on... then off...
- 34.Simplified /timer code and fixed a small bug in it.
- 35.Command line window buffer has increased to 30 lines.
- 36.Now catches server numeric 328 for URL description
- when joining a channel on DALnet (they might not have
- implemented this yet).
- 37.Fixed toolbar buttons colours when the default system
- colours are changed.
- 38.The 32bit mIRC can now dcc send/get LFN's with spaces
- in them. Unfortunately, other clients won't be able to
- receive these properly! See the "DCC Send" section in
- the help file which explains the problem.
- You can also do: /dcc send nickname "this is a.text file"
- 39.Added -nnick1,nick2 command line option which sets
- your nicks to these values.
- 40.Overhaul of irc and parsing routines, simplified and
- speeded up.
- 41.Added [on | off | close] to /url command to turn on/off
- catching urls and to close the URL window.
- 42.Added option "Show modes in channel".
- 43.Now gives the reason why you can't join a channel.
- 44.If you have "rejoin channel when kicked" turned on
- and you are kicked, mIRC will keep the channel
- window open while it tries to rejoin and will only
- close it if it can't.
- 45.If a /play filename doesn't have a directory spec. it
- defaults to the mirc.exe directory.
- 46.Added a flexibile /write command which writes lines
- to a file.
- 47.Added "Show queries in active channel window" which
- shows private messages from other users in a channel
- window without opening a query window.
- 48.Added "TAB" key putting "/msg nickname" into the editbox
- where "nickname" is the nick of the last person who
- messaged you. If you press TAB repeatedly it cycles
- through the nicks of the last five people who messaged
- you.
- 49.Now shows who set the topic and at what time when you
- join a channel on Undernet and DALnet.
- 50.Fixed small bug with the /sound command not checking
- properly if a sound file exists.
- 51.The Options dialog now uses Tabs. I had trouble using
- existing TabDialog DLL's, so I coded my own Tab
- display routines.
- 52.Fixed /channel dialog bug which would occur if you
- typed /channel repeatedly while it was in the middle
- of retrieving the channel info.
- 53.Fixed a problem with /whois replies, the format of
- the reply has changed and is hopefully clearer now.
- 54.Can now also define Shift and Control Function key
- definitions.

- Fixes/Additions:
- 1.Fixed $parms not being passed in a redirection.
- 2.Can now /play to any channel/nick without needing
- to have that window already open.
- 3.Added -ttopic option to /play which looks for the
- specified [topic] in a text file and plays it to
- the specified nick/channel.
- 4.Added $pnick identifier which refers to the nick/channel
- which is currently being played to, so you can use it
- in /played commands.
- 5.Allows #$parmN to force a parameter to be a channel.
- 6.Fixed DCC Resume filesize bug.
- 7.Added option to show notifies in active window.
- 8.Completely reorganized the Options dialog as it was
- too crowded and it was getting harder to add new options.
- Now divided into sections, and also incorporates the
- options in the extras, url, sounds, and ident dialogs.
- The menus and toolbar buttons have been re-organized
- accordingly.
- 9.Fixed QUIT bug when exiting mIRC while still connected.
- It was sending a part instead of a quit to the server.
- 10.Fixed /timer not releasing it's memory in certain
- situations.
- 11.Fixed positioning of : in some raw commands.

- #address are now displayed in the server window
- in pretty purple as opposed to opening up a query
- window.

- DCC Send dialog uses the same list).

-
- 12/10/95 - mIRC v3.7
-
- Fixes/Additions:
- 1.An *iconified* channel list window is not restored
- if a /list is done, instead it's icon is placed above
- current windows (without focus) for easy access.
- 2.The Join Channel dialog can now handle multiple
- selections.
- 3.The /timer can now work with aliases again.
- 4.Can now prevent an identifier from being evaluated
- the first time through the alias routine by prefixing
- it with a ! for example: $!read, $!url, $!me, etc.
- This allows you to use it in a /timer command if you
- want the identifier to be re-evaluated every time.
- 5.Fixed /channel dialog bug and improved memory
- allocation for the ban list.
- 6.Fixed bug in status window sizing.
- 7.Fixed Timer dialog bug, when selecting cancel

- were too slow. Loading and saving is almost instant now.
-
- 13.Fixed windows not being saved/closed properly on exit.
- 14./play now works when used in remote commands.

- in the server list.
- 18.Fixed font selections not being saved correctly.

- directly through mIRC. Type /url [-d] to open the window.
- Use -d to clear all ? marked items before showing the list.
- 20.If a nick in the notify list is prefixed with a + sign
- a /whois is done on it on a notify.

- *** NOTE NOTE NOTE IMPORTANT CHANGE ***
-
- 27.Now uses a different format for commands/events:
- Old format: 1:PING:/notice *1:$nick hi there
- New format: 1:PING:/notice $nick hi there
- This greatly simplifies processing, the routines
- are now probably more than twice as fast as before.
- mIRC will automatically detect and convert old format
- definitions on startup (and when /add is used).
-
- 28.mIRC now maintains an internal list of nick!user@address
- for all users that are on the same *channels* as you. Whenever
- a /guser, /ruser, or /ban is issued, the internal list is
- searched first to find the nick's address. If no match is
- found, the normal /whois stuff is done.
- 29.Now opens log files in shared mode.
- 30.The nickname in the DCC Send dialog now defaults to
- the last nick to which a file was sent.
- 31.Added $snicks which returns a list of the selected
- nicks in the current channel listbox. The list is
- in the form: nick1,...,nickN, so you can only use it
- in commands which take multiple nicks.
- 32.Greatly improved/simplified address matching routine.
- 33.Can now do /ignore <nick> [type] which looks
- up the specified nick's address by doing a /whois,
- same as the /auser, /ban, etc. commands.
- 34.DCC Get dialog now allows you to specify a different
- directory for the incoming file.
- 35.In the setup dialog, a server is highlighted after
- it is added to the server list.
- 36.The nickname in the DCC Chat dialog now defaults to
- the last nick that was chatted to.
- 37.Aliases can now be called from popup, remote, timer,
- play, and any other definitions. You can now also call
- several aliases on one line seperated by a | like normal
- commands. eg. 1:HELP:/help1 $nick | /help2 $nick
- (Aliases still can't call other aliases).
- 38.Can now have up to 30 timers, also improved memory
- allocation for timers.
- 39.Fixed bugs with the /add function.
- 40.Fixed Clipboard missing last character bug (?)
- 41.Default directories for the file/dir dialogs
- weren't being set correctly.

- of only once for nicks.
- 43.The /timer command now also remembers the parameter
- line that was around when the /timer was issued.
- 44.The 32bit mIRC should now handle LFNs okay.
- 45.Can now do level comparison for ON KICK, ON OP,
- and ON DEOP, prefix a line with <,>,<=,>=,<>,=

- executes definition if true.
- 46.Attempted improvement and cleaning up of server
- oriented commands and their replies.
- 47."signon time" in a /whois on the undernet and dalnet
- is now shown correctly.
- 48.Can now specify a server on the command line
- eg. -sirc.server.addr:6667
- and mirc will connect to that server on startup.
- (You can combine this with the -j parameter to
- force it to join specific channels too).
-
- 13/09/95 - released mIRC v3.64 patch
-
- 1.Fixes the *1-3 type bug.
-
- 11/09/95 - mIRC v3.64
-
- Fixes/Additions:
- 1.Fixed Local Host and IP address bug, added options
- in the setup dialog. Now works for any combination
- of requirements for people with different types of
- internet connections (see Setup in mirc.hlp!)
- 2.$read command improved so you can specify
- a line number with [-l#]. For example:
- /silly /say $read -l5 silly.txt
- This will read line 5 of silly.txt.
- 3.Now using "Common Dialogs" for file/directory selection,
- as well as for the DCC Send dialog (Long filenames
- are NOT yet supported).
- 4.Optimized Remote routines - should be faster now.
- 5.Can now use $read in remote definitions. For example:
- 1:TEST:/notice *1:$nick I said " $+ $read c:\langs\mirc\test.txt $+ "
- 6.Can now store up to 50 IRC server addresses in Setup dialog.
- Storage format in mirc.ini has changed, but will still read
- the old format.
- 7.Finger button now pops up a red flag while finger is busy.
- The flag disappears when finger has been completed.
- 8.Bug with Maximized mIRC window fixed.

- The specified channels will be joined on connect. You
- MUST have an mirc.ini with the "Connect on startup" option
- selected.
- 14.Fixed another bug with using * to begin a non-parameter
- identifier. eg. *mardam.demon* in aliases/etc.
-
- 15.The /auser /guser and /ruser commands can now handle multiple
- levels. They have only been extended, so they are still
- compatible with your previous formats.
-
- /auser [-a] <level(s)> <nick | address>
- /guser [-a] <level(s)> <nick> [type]
- /ruser [level(s)] <nick> [type]
-
- For /auser /guser, the default is to replace any existing
- user with the specified levels (as usual). The [-a] option
- means add the specified level(s) to an existing users levels.
-
- The /ruser command removes the specified levels from an
- existing user. If all levels are removed for a user, the
- user is removed.
-
- See the Remote section in the Help file!
-
- 16.Can now do /mode # +oooo nick1 nick2 nick3 nick4
- 17./play can now be used in a remote/event definition.
-
- 18.Extended the /rlevel command to also work with multiple
- levels.
-
- /rlevel [-r] <level(s)>
-
- If the [-r] is NOT specified, it works as usual. If
- the [-r] IS specified, the specified level(s) are removed
- from users that have them. If a user's levels are ALL
- removed, the user is removed.
-
- 19.Fixed bug with Green box being drawn around iconized
- window in response to wrong messages.
- 20.Fixed several bugs in /play with using -r and -l.

- 2.Fixed Ping Pong bug which was preventing lines from being
- sent properly to the server.
- 3.Fixed Editbox/Colors bug in Extras dialog.
- 4.Inserting blank lines in Remote/events/aliases between
- commands would lead to loss of following definitions.
- 5.Channel list window would clear if you disconnected and then
- connected again.
- 6.Aliases, Remote Users, Commands, and Events definitions are now unlimited.
- ie. you can have as many as you want, however the limitation is the

- 8.Popups are still limited to 300 menuitems for each popup menu.
- 9.Max. length of a line in aliases, remote, and popups is approx. 600 chars.

- 15.Fixed ctcp PING reply missing a Ctrl-A at the end (?)
- 16.Specifying a /who *146.219* numerical address would mess up because
- the *1 is a parameter specifier. mIRC now checks to see if there is
- a . in the number, and if so it doesnt try to expand it.
- 17./play command can now play single lines randomly picked from
- a file (a specific line can also be specified). The format is:
- /play [-crl] [channel/nick] <filename> [delay/linenumber]
- Using -r means pick a line randomly, using -l means pick
- a specific line specified by linenumber. The first line in the
- file MUST specify the number of lines in the file. Any *1 $1 etc.
- identifiers CANNOT be used in the played line.
- 18.Added $read identifier which picks a line randomly from a file.
- eg. /say $read c:\funny.txt
- /kick # $1 $read c:\kicks.txt
- The first line in the file MUST specify the number of lines
- in the file. $read will insert ANY text, even commands with
- identifiers, and these will work like normal commands.
- 19.Added Fast Send checkbox to DCC Send dialog.
- 20.Fixed scrolling keys in Channel list and finger windows.
- 21.Made Font list longer in font dialog.
- 22.Added "auto-join on invite" option to options dialog. An
- auto-joined channel is initially minimized (this might not
- always work for various reasons...)
- 23.Added Function key support F1 to F12. Define in the alias
- window like a normal alias for example:
- /F1 /say Hello!
- /F5 /query $1 (for use on nick listbox in channel window)
- 24.Font width measurement for copy/paste wasn't correct for
- certain types of fonts.
- 25.Fixed problem with minimized windows being sized wrongly.
- 26.Fixed /channel bug. Now times out after 30 seconds, at
- which point another /channel can be issued. BUT if the old
- /channel command is replied to, your status window will fill
- up with ban list information for that channel. No way around
- this I'm afraid!
