mIRC v3.8 16bit

Author: Khaled Mardam-Bey
Release: 25/11/95
Description: Welcome to mIRC v3.8, an IRC client for Windows.


25/11/95 - mIRC v3.8

Fixes/Additions:
1.Added option to show invites in active window.
2.Fixed $! bug.
3.Added option to auto-resume existing files.
4.Fixed /echo with invalid parameters gpfing.
5.Option dialog now remembers it's "view" across
  sessions.
6.Paused op wasn't clearing a nick from it's list
  immediately if a nick parted or quit, but had to
  timeout first.
7.Added /speak <text> command which uses monolog
  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.
