mIRC v4.0 16bit

Author: Khaled Mardam-Bey
Release: 20/03/96
Description: Welcome to mIRC v4.0, an IRC client for Windows.


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.
3./query command pops an existing window to the
  front if it's hidden.
4.Fixed "parameter dialog" popping up bug.
5.Fixed Channel Dialog gpf bug if kicked while
  dialog still open.
6.Dynamic help menu now displays a list of .hlp files
  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
  these filenames, so if you have "winsock.hlp" in
  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
   define commands that work in different types
   of windows.
12.Can now test for and prevent SOUND ctcp's
   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.
   c) Allows little notes for each nickname.
19.Added /commands [on|off], turns remote commands on/off.
   /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 $parms bug, was only storing first 256 chars.
22.Added "Place ? marked urls at top of list" option in url options.
23.Can now do "/ignore -auN", which unignores the
   specified address after N seconds. Can now also do,
   /ignore -apcnti, where p=private,c=channel,n=notice,
   t=ctcp,i=invite.
24.Can now enter auto-op addresses with channels,
   eg. nick!user@address,#mirc,#mircplus
25.All /dde commands are now buffered and sent at intervals
   specified by the DDE delay option.
26.Added /clearall command which clears buffers of all
   status, channel, and private windows.
27.Now warns you if you try to quit mIRC when there are
   DCC Transfers in progress.
28.[removed]
29./links command results are now displayed in a coloured
   tree fashion to make it more readable (?)
30.Added "pop up setup dialog on startup" option.
31.Improved speed of text display slightly.
32.Fixed /rlevel not removing levels in certain situations.
33.Added -s<text> option to /write command, scans file for a
   line beginning with <text> and writes to it.
34.[removed]
35.Added /groups [-e|d] command which lists all, enabled,
   and disabled groups in remote definitions.
36.Can now use #$?#="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
   in delayed DDE queue.
40.Added variable support:
   /set [-q] <%var) [value]
   /unset [-q] <%var> [%var2] ... [%varN]
   /unsetall
   /inc [-q] <%var> [value]
   /dec [-q] <%var> [value]
   Can be edited in Variables section in remote dialog.
41.Iconized Notify and Url windows are now highlighted
   whenever their contents change.
42.Notify and URL toolbar buttons are now also highlighted
   if either the window isn't open or isn't active.
43.Fixed /ctcp nick VER bug.
44.Fixed beeping bug where mIRC wasn't beeping properly
   for some users.
45./sound now doesn't require you to specify a message.

   /nick <nickname> [alternate]
51.Fixed bug in resolving dns addresses.
52.Fixed /finger not resolving for some users.
53./auto and /ignore now *add* an address by default,
   to remove an address you can use the -r switch.
   ie. they do not toggle anymore.
54.Added Firewall option, doesn't allow DCC's through
   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
   nickname (would result in an error message).
57.Fixed URL sorting in url window.
58.Now tests to see if dcc send filename is a system device,
   if so dcc send is ignored.

   being messed up.
60.Fixed disappearing ini and temp files not being removed (?)
