Dear mIRC User, mIRC version 6.32 has been released Wednesday May 21st, 2008. You are receiving this e-mail because you have subscribed to the mIRC release mailing list. The new version of mIRC is available from http://www.mirc.com/, our main download site download.com, and from several fast mirrors around the world. We have provided a few download addresses below.
* Fixes, improvements and new features. The new version of mIRC builds on recent releases by focusing on stability and reliability and addressing the various issues that have been reported by users since the last release in November. It includes cosmetic changes to the interface, fixes, optimizations, and several improvements to the scripting language. In particular, mIRC can now handle longer nick names, channel names, and messages, as well as longer variable values in the scripting language. Various other changes include: - Added support for network-specific window position saving. - Fixed mouse wheel handling of scrolling with high resolution mice. - A "Check for Updates" option has been added to the mIRC Help menu to automatically check for new versions of mIRC. - Optimized INI file handling to only update those parts of a file that have changed. This decreases file writes and speeds up a number of features in mIRC, including USB drive usage. - Improved display speed of text in all windows. - Fixed multi-byte text-wrapping display issues. - Fixed and optimized a number of @window display features, including the way tabstops are handled. - Improved unicode support in the $mp3() identifier. In total there have been over 50 changes to this version and although most of them are only small fixes and tweaks, we hope that they result in an even more useful and stable mIRC for you. We encourage you to explore the versions.txt file included with mIRC for all changes. Some changes are obvious, some need getting used to - please take your time to play with them and see how they work? * How to upgrade? mIRC is distributed in a self-extracting cabinet (mirc632.exe) that helps you to install mIRC on your PC. Simply download the cabinet and run the installer. Follow the instructions the installer program gives to you. When upgrading all your old settings and scripts will stay as they were, if you want that. Read the questions the installer program asks with care and nothing can go wrong. You will be chatting with the new mIRC in no time. If you get stuck or if you want to find out more about a certain feature, just click on a Help button or browse the Help file and you should find lots of hints to help you out. * Where to download?

This mIRC release mailing list is a low volume, low frequency, announcement list. Typically you will get one message right after each mIRC release, only a few times a year. Last time was on November 1st 2007. The list is not a discussion list, there is only one person posting; me. We will not (never) use or abuse this list for other messages. It is very easy to get removed from this list. Just use the unsubscribe form found on the mailing lists page on the mIRC website.
