Dear mIRC User, mIRC version 6.35 has been released Friday October 17th, 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 is primarily a security release. mIRC users are advised to upgrade to this version due to a security issue related to very long nicknames on non-standard servers. A few other minor issues have also been fixed or changed in this release. Although this is a minor update, it includes important changes and all users are advised to upgrade. Full list of Fixes, Changes and Additions: 1. Fixed nickname bug where very long nicknames (hundreds of characters in length) sent by the server would cause mIRC to crash. 2. Updated to PCRE v7.8 and OpenSSL 0.9.8i libraries. 3. Added Script Editor option to disable line numbers. 4. Fixed /toolbar bug where setting a bitmap for a default button was not working correctly. 5. Added custom dialog support for "rich" editbox property that allows an arbitrary "limit" on the amount of text. 6. Fixed window listbox display bug when moving the horizontal scrollbar all the way to the right. * How to upgrade? mIRC is distributed in a self-extracting cabinet (mirc635.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 Friday August 8th 2008. The list is not a discussion list, there is only one person posting; me. We will not (never ever) 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.
