mIRC 7.28 Beta

mIRC is a full featured Internet Relay Chat client for Windows that can be used to communicate, share, play or work with others on IRC networks around the world, either in multi-user group conferences or in one-to-one private discussions.

It has a clean, practical interface that is highly configurable and supports features such as buddy lists, file transfers, multi-server connections, SSL encryption, proxy support, UTF-8 display, customizable sounds, spoken messages, tray notifications, message logging, and more.

mIRC also has a powerful scripting language that can be used both to automate mIRC and to create applications that perform a wide range of functions from network communications to playing games. mIRC has been in development for over a decade and is constantly being improved and updated with new technologies.

mIRC 7.28 Beta changes:

Fixed help file issue that prevented /help command from jumping to the correct location on a help page.
Fixed /run command issue that affected backward compatibility with ambiguous parameter formats used in older scripts.
Fixed auto-hide nicklist not hiding when mouse is moved outside of the channel window in some contexts.
Changed Escape key so that it clears the current editbox if the "Escape key minimizes window" option is not enabled.
Fixed channel nicklist popup menu being wrongly displayed when right-clicking in nicklist area and nicklist is auto-hidden.
Fixed /exit -r bug not restarting mIRC when scripts editor dialog is open with unsaved files.
Updated libraries to zlib 1.2.7.
Fixed tips bug that caused tips to flicker briefly in view when the "Hide tips when locked" option is enabled and a message is received while mIRC is minimized and locked.
Fixed editbox buffer bugs that appeared in different contexts, such as when combinations of Control+Up/Down were pressed or the editbox contained multiple lines entered with the Alt+Enter key.
Changed SSL feature to store SSL certificate hashes cache in the servers.ini file instead of mirc.ini. Also, hashes are now stored for all certificates, good or bad. If a certificate is good but has changed since the last connection, a warning is now displayed.
Fixed /hotlink bug that prevented hotlink popup menus from being displayed.
Changed display bitmap cache to check if mIRC has been blocked from capturing screen buffer (which can happen with security software). If it has, mIRC reverts to slower, non-cache display method.
Fixed full screen menu item not being checked when full screen mode is enabled.
Fixed script editor bug that caused a freeze when saving popups to a non-ini file in certain situations.
Changed font dialog so that when "set as default" is checked, "use default" is automatically checked as well.
Fixed maximized window position not being saved when the "on startup minimize mIRC to tray" option is enabled.
