Dear mIRC User, mIRC version 6.33 has been released Friday July 18th, 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. This version of mIRC addresses a number of issues since the last release in May. It includes a number of improvements, changes and fixes to the interface, scripting language, and several other features. In particular, a new editbox "automatic" lines feature has been added that dynamically changes the size of the editbox in a window to show the whole of your typed message, up to half the size of the window. This allows you to easily see and review your message before sending it. Various other changes include: - Added support for the transfer of files larger than four gigabytes. - Added /var -g switch to allow you to set global variable values. - Added $input() identifier combobox support. - Fixed UTF-8 text-wrapping display bug. - Fixed switchbar display button-sorting display bug. - Fixed window positions not being saved correctly for some windows. - Fixed server connection not remembering SSL status in some situations. In total there have been almost 50 changes to this version and although most of them are only small fixes and tweaks, we hope that they result in a more useful and stable mIRC for you. As always, 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 (mirc633.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 Wednesday May 21st, 2008. 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.
