ANNOUNCE: mIRC 4.6
Tjerk Vonck
Hellooo,...
I'm happy to announce that a new version of mIRC (mIRC version 4.6)
released last night (September 7th, 1996). As usual it is uploaded
to a lot of FTP sites all over the world. Also a new mIRC FAQ
released in WRITE (mircfq28.zip) and Windows HELP (mfaq28hp.zip)
format.
As any good program should, the new release of mIRC offers several
new things that extend and improve its use. The new mIRC has better
scripting capabilities and new options to meet the wishes of the
experienced users. Also the *new* IRC and mIRC users will benefit from
this new release by the improved command handling and the changes made
to meet network server modifications recently introduced on
Undernet, EFnet and DALnet.
Now that the evolutions in the Undernet and EFnet IRC servers have
stabilised a bit (?) we think all recent problems in the /list command
are solved. Several clients, including mIRC, were badly surprised by
the sudden changes in the communication between servers and clients
but mIRC is now fully adapted to meet the new server routines and more
problems are not to be expected. Also the new use of /part comments,
offered on several networks, is fully supported now, as well as the
re-introduced mode-less +channels. In total there are over 130 changes
and especially the changes to meet the new versions of the IRC servers
make an upgrade more than worth!
New in this version is support for the 'Text Assist' Text to Speech
package next to Monologue. Finally Creative Labs released their Text
Assist DDE helper application and mIRC fully supports this program.
mIRC's interface and toolbar now fit better to the Win95 look and the
minimized DCC Send, Get, Chat, and Fserv windows now have different
Icons. Several smaller convenient things are added as well; a new flood
protection method with auto-ignore, ways to load and save the items in
the URL catcher, new events, and much much more....
Have fun on IRC, with the new mIRC,
Tjerk Vonck.
