mIRC is an Internet Relay Chat client for wind0ws, created in 1995 and developed by
Khaled Mardam-Bey. This was originally its only use, but it has evolved into a highly
configurable tool that can be used for many purposes due to its integrated scripting
language. Other uses may include:
* IRC bot / channel management
* MP3 music player
* DCC (a peer-to-peer IP-based chat or file send), and IRC server
* Web page parser (usually for retrieving search results or headlines)
* Game platform (these games are called mIRC games)
-- WHAT'S NEW: --
There are many new bug fixes plus:
* better support of XP and classic themes,
* faster re-wrapping of text,
* a fix for various $regsubex() and $regsub() parsing bugs, for aflood protection bug, some agent speech bug, and for a bug with thefind dialog in desktop wind0ws,
* and mIRC now stores servers that were connected to successfully to prioritize future server connection attempts,
