2.Fixed /scon returning wrong error message.
3.Fixed window positions not being saved correctly for certain types
  of windows.
4.Fixed tab completion issue with long text/identifier values.
5.Fixed Channel Central dialog excepts/invites bug, now looks for +eI
  modes in the CHANMODES token as well as EXCEPTS and INVEX tokens.
6.Fixed reload logs feature displaying session information twice on
  reloading a log file.
7.Fixed $calc() returning +/-0 in some situations.
8.Improved handling of hotlinks enclosed in brackets.
9.Fixed server ports bug when using toolbar connect button.

11.Fixed text display bug due to incorrect text width measurement with
   some fonts/characters, now using new method to measure text width.

18.Fixed /did -d CRLF bug.
19.Fixed picture @window popup menu bug under Vista.
20.Added support for the transfer of files larger than four gigabytes.
   This required the following extension to the DCC transfer protocol:
   If mIRC sees that it is sending or receiving a file with a size
   larger than a 32bit value, it sends and expects to receive 64bit
   acks. In all other respects, the protocol is unchanged. Note that
   all previous versions of mIRC are unable to either send or receive
   such large files.
21.Changed file transfer CPS calculation method, now reflects the real
   average CPS over the last few seconds.
22.Improved the way the "Total Max Cps" feature throttles transfer
   speeds.
23.Increased the maximum allowed DCC Send packet size. This may or may
   not improve speed depending on your connection type.
24.Fixed DCC Send/Get bug where files of zero bytes in size could not
   be transfered.
25.Changed DCC Send so that it now always sends packets ahead of acks.
   This means that even if it receives no acks at all, mIRC will still
   transfer the file. If "Fast Send" is enabled, mIRC will attempt to
   send packets as fast as it can.
26.Fixed regex identifiers hiding output of called identifiers by
   default - they now require . prefix in calling alias.
27.Fixed /server switches not being remembered on an automatic retry
   connection attempt after a disconnection.

   and then reconnect to a server.
29.Fixed switchbar display button-sorting bug.
30.Added $window().tbtext for window treebar text.

   from being changed and -qN enables/disables/toggles second editbox.
32.Added /var -g switch, sets global variable values.
33.Added $timer().pause property.
34.Added $input() 'm' switch which allows you to include multiple "text"
   parameters and to display them in a combobox. The first text item is
   the default item, the rest are the items in the list.
35.Fixed /log on command bug not using logs folder.
36.Optimized text mark/copy routine.
37.Added Track Urls warning when feature is enabled via system menu.
38.Changed unicode display method slightly - mIRC now preloads the cache
   with the default system unicode font and various other unicode fonts
   if they are found on your system.
39.Fixed if/while bracket parser bug.
40.Added $chan/query/send/get/chat .idle properties.
41.Added editbox "automatic" lines feature to display/options dialog
   that dynamically changes the size of the primary editbox to show
   all of your typed text, up to half the size of the window.
42.Extended /window -eN switch where 0 = single, 1 = multi, 2 = auto,
   and 3 = default.
43.Changed Control+Home/End key behaviour so that they move the cursor
   if you are editing text in a multi-line editbox, otherwise they
   scroll the display buffer.
44.Updated to OpenSSL 0.9.8h library.
45.Changed Enter key behaviour in multi/auto editbox so that it sends
   a line when pressed in the middle of a line. To insert a line you
   can use the Alt+Enter key combination.
46.Changed Status Window editbox to reflect single/multi/auto editbox
   settings.
47.Fixed SSL certificate caching bug when maximum cache size exceeded.

17.Fixed color codes not being processed properly in wrapped lines
   in some situations.
18.Fixed URL links not being opened with default browser under Vista.
19.The -r command line switch behaviour has been changed so that if
   no path is specified after -r, mIRC will use the executable path.
20.For Vista compatibility, new installations of mIRC now save all
   settings in the User's "Application Data\mIRC" folder by default.

   However, if the installer or mIRC find mirc.ini in the same folder
   as mirc.exe they will use the mirc.exe folder for all settings.
   Users installing over an old version of mIRC should therefore see
   no change in behaviour.

   The installer is now also aware of administrator and standard user
   accounts and installs mIRC accordingly.

21.Fixed command prefix /!. parsing inconsistencies across routines.
22.Fixed "// echo hello" being parsed as "//echo hello". The parser
   now halts parsing of empty // commands.

29.Fixed irc:// links not working under Vista.
30.Changed registry handling to ensure that mIRC works the same way
   whether run under administrator or standard user accounts.

   mIRC no longer updates the Uninstall section of the registry to
   point to the currently running mIRC, the Uninstall section is
   now only set by the installer. Removed -nouninst command line
   switch since this is no longer applicable.

   Also irc:// links are now only added to the Current User registry,
   not the local machine registry and this is only done when mIRC
   is run, not by the installer.

   The -service command line switch has been removed from the help
   file though it is still supported under 95/98/ME.

31.mIRC no longer uses an internal uninstaller, instead the install
   program now places an uninstall.exe in the mIRC folder.
32.Fixed dialog table definition not being able to call local aliases
   if dialog was opened from the command line.
33.Extended custom dialog "tab id" parameter to allow id to be an
   alias/identifier.
34.Fixed comments not being parsed correctly in the users list.
35.Fixed mouse cursor display bug during mark/copy.
36.Added internal U3 support to mIRC. mIRC looks for these command
   line parameters -appStart, -appStop, and -hostCleanUp, and looks
   for U3_HOST_EXEC_PATH and U3_APP_DATA_PATH environment variables.
37.Fixed ini storage bug when using -portable switch.
38.Changed -portable command line switch behaviour. Now makes mIRC
   both 1) avoid use of the registry and 2) use the executable folder
   as the mirc.ini folder.
39.Fixed /if parser not reporting invalid operator for => and =<,
   and added not support for !> !<= etc.

   unable to write to the file.
42.Added support for positioning Treebar at top/bottom of mIRC window.
43.Added support for network specific notify nicks. If no network
   is specified, nick is used on all networks. Extended command to
   /notify -n <nick> [network] [note], where -n indicates network
   has been specified. Also added $notify().network.
44.Changed "Received Files" explorer display to show folders pane.
45.Notify/URLs list windows are now displayed in both the treebar
   and the switchbar.
46.Changed the way the notify list window is displayed on connect.
47.Added -noreg command line switch to make mIRC avoid use of the
   registry (to make up for old -portable behaviour).
48.Fixed $input dialog (and other windows) not being centered on
   desktop correctly if main mIRC window was minimized.
49.Added support for numeric 005 TARGMAX and MAXTARGETS tokens
   when sending privmsgs and notices in /amsg, /ame, /qme, /qmsg,
   /omsg, and /onotice.
50.Fixed notify list routine that was not correctly optimized, may
   have led to high cpu usage/interface lag for some users.
51.Fixed various dialogs opening centered in main window when opened
   with keyboard shortcuts, eg. Alt+O, Alt+B, etc.
52.Added support for notify list display in treebar, option enabled
   via treebar popup menu.

   right-clicked treebar items. System menus are the default. Toggle
   by holding shift key while right-clicking.
54.Added $menutype and $menucontext to supplement $menu. They are
   available during popup menu creation and indicate the menu type
   and context of the menu being created.
55.Changed left-click method on treebar items, it takes one click to
   open and close windows now.
56.Fixed issues with /mkdir and $isdir(). $isdir() will now only
   accept folder names, whereas previously it was accepting filenames
   as well.
57.Changed status window icon so that you can now tell when it is
   connected, connecting, logging on, or disconnecting.
58.Alt+LeftClick no longer changes the status window icon, instead
   it now adds a down arrow to the button. When clicked it displays
   a popup menu of hidden windows.
59.The status window title in switchbar/treebar now always shows the
   network/server name, even when not connected.
60.Added Buffer menu to custom @window system menu.
61.Changed the way files are renamed/copied/deleted to resolve file
   issues experienced by some users.
62.Fixed favorites menu recent channels history bug.
63.Changed the way $active works, was not consistent before.

   item.
67.Fixed $wrap() bug not handling bold control codes across multiple
   lines correctly.
68.If an incoming notice is displayed in more than one window eg. in
   common channels or the active window, windows are now highlighted
   only if necessary.
69.Added /cnick -f switch that forces the addition of a new entry to
   the list instead of updating an existing nick.
70.Fixed relative path bug when handling short paths.
71.Improved error handling in /load command.
72.Added Notify and Urls List items to windows order dialog, affects
   position of these items in treebar.
73.Added support for on ^TABCOMP, triggers before a $id or %var is
   evaluated.

   no longer documented.
75.Fixed MDI background display flickering bug.
76.The /setlayer command can now set the transparency of the main
   mIRC window.
77.When in the Script Editor mIRC no longer considers itself the
   active application, this allows flash/beep/etc. events to trigger.
78.All buttons that select/display files/folders now display the whole
   file/path with ellipsis if necessary.
79.Fixed nick color list freeze issue, instead of updating all nicks
   immediately when colors change, now only updates them when they
   are visible.
80.Moved highlight dialog to address book and added regex support.
81.Fixed options dialog memory leak.
82.Fixed "Move status window..." bug in Group dialog.
83.Fixed wildcard matching bug.
84.Added support for tips, text balloons that pop up near the Windows
   tray to notify you of various events such as incoming messages or
   users in your notify list coming on or leaving IRC.

   Tips only appear when mIRC is not the active application and are
   hidden the moment mIRC becomes active.

   Tips can be configured in the Options/Windows/Options dialog.

   The Highlight dialog in the Address Book also supports tips for
   matched items.

   Tips can also be scripted using the $tip() identifier:

   $tip(name,title,text,delay,iconfn,iconpos,alias,wid)
   Returns Nth position of tip if successful, zero if not.

   name - name of the tip
   title - title
   text - text
   delay - from 3 to 60 seconds
   iconfn - icon filename
   iconpos - icon position in filename
   alias - alias to perform when tip is double-clicked
   wid - id of window to which tip belongs

   name, title, text are required.
   delay, iconfn, iconpos, alias, and wid can be $null.

   $tip(name/N) can be used to list existing tips.

   Notes:

   Right-click in a tip pauses the time-out for all tips.

   Shift+Left-click in a tip closes that tip.

   Double-click in a tip triggers the alias if one is defined,
   or opens the associated window if not.

   The tip automatically fits the text into it and will at most
   widen to quarter of your screen width.

   New tips are queued until older tips time-out. Tips time-out
   at a slower rate if they are not at the head of the queue.

   If no wid is specified, the tip belongs to the status window
   of the currently active connection.

   A tip is closed if the window it belongs to is made active
   or is closed, or if mIRC is made active and the tip belongs
   to an MDI window.

85.Fixed /showmirc -nt bug minimizing mIRC but not activating
   the next application window.
86.Fixed $mp3() not handling unicode tags correctly.
87.Added $fullscreen identifier, returns 1 if an application is
   running in full screen mode, 0 if not. This applies to game and
   non-game applications.
88.Fixed agent speaking bug.
89.Extended /echo -iN to allow maximum N of 256.
90.By popular request, changed logging method back to old method, no
   longer uses name.N.log filename format.
91.For new installs the "download" folder is now named "downloads"
   and a "scripts" folder is created by default.
92.Added $ebeeps identifier, returns sounds enabled/disabled state.
93.Updated tab display routines to use XP/Vista themes.
94.Fixed menubar spaces bug, all scripts are now aligned on load
   using same align routine as editor.
95.Removed support for mirc.hlp file on F1 key, only mirc.chm is
   used now.
96.Fixed editor "monitor file changes" bug with .ini files.
97.When run under Vista mIRC now checks for a corresponding virtual
   store folder at startup. Vista creates virtual store folders for
   older non-Vista compatible applications, such as older versions
   of mIRC. If mIRC finds such a folder, it displays a dialog box
   allowing you to retrieve your old mIRC files and settings.
98.Added $sha1(text|&binvar|filename,[N]) identifier, where N = 0
   for plain text (default), 1 for &binvar, 2 for filename.
99.Updated to PNG 1.2.18 and PCRE v7.2 libraries and to OpenSSL
   0.9.8e support files.
100.The about dialog now displays a second page that loads from the
    mIRC website. No information is sent to the server.
101.Fixed custom dialog icon definitions not setting %var values
    correctly on exit.
102.Changed compiler optimization settings resulting in slightly
    larger executable.
103.Added Mode menu item to the View menu in the menubar that allows
    you to switch between Normal and Compact modes. Compact mode
    makes mIRC behave like a messenger with the treebar filling the
    main window, all windows opening on the desktop, and so on.

The full versions.txt file has become too large to include in the
distribution, so only the version information for the last version
or so is being included from now on. You can still download the full
versions.txt file from the mIRC website.
