Message: http://www.mirc.com/ Of course this new version addresses the buggies and most of the other comments and remarks we received after the previous release. Apart from that Khaled spend lots of time on the UTF-8 support that was added in the previous version. As you might know UTF-8 is a font encoding system that allows you to use fonts with strange, international characters. That of course helps a lot if you want to chat in your own language!UTF-8 support has been greatly enhanced in this version of mIRC with the addition of font substitution/font linking. This allows mIRC to display all characters needed, regardless of the font you are using, assuming you have the required fonts on your system, somewhere. mIRC will try to match font sizes etc. To speed up the process Khaled has implemented his own caching routines to enable fast font/character referencing.mIRC's default toolbar is now customizable through a /toolbar command. By popular demand also a treebar has been added. This lists network connections with channels, queries and other open windows, much like the switchbar. It behaves like the switchbar in many ways as well. You can expand and collapse trees, just like you would expect. Just like the toolbar the treebar can be repositioned to the top/bottom/left/right of the main mIRC window! whatsnew.txt * What is New in version 6.2?  Released July 28th, 2006.mIRC's default toolbar is now customizable through a /toolbar command. You can add, move and delete buttons, add your own icons, and of course, attach your own commands to them. By popular demand also a treebar has been added. This lists network connections with channels, queries and other open windows, much like the switchbar. It behaves like the switchbar in many ways as well. You can expand and collapse trees, just like you would expect. Right-clicking on an item pops up the usual menu for that window. Right-clicking in an empty area of the treebar pops up a menu with various display options.The treebar width can be set by dragging the border with the mouse, and jsut as with virtually all other windows the background and text colors can be set in the colors dialog. Just like the toolbar the treebar can be repositioned to the top/bottom/left/right of the main mIRC window!In the previous version UTF-8 support was added. In this version several UTF-8 related bugs are fixed, including bugs with text wrapping and copy/pasting from UTF-8 "display" or "encode" enabled windows, and bugs relating to the order in which SJIS/JIS and UTF-8 encodings are applied. Much more important is that UTF-8 support has been greatly enhanced in this version of mIRC to allow people all over the world to chat in their own languages, with their own fonts, with a lot less hassle then ever before. To do so support for font substitution/font linking has been added. This allows mIRC to display all characters needed, regardless of the font you are using, assuming you have the required fonts on your system, somewhere. mIRC will try to match font sizes etc. To speed up the process Khaled has implemented his own caching routines to enable fast font/character referencing. Of course all buggies and most of the other comments and remarks we received after the previous release have been addressed. Various other changes include:- better support of XP and classic themes,- faster re-wrapping of text,- fixes for various $regsubex() and $regsub() parsing bugs, for a flood protection bug, for some agent speech bug, and for a bug with the find dialog in desktop windows, - and mIRC now stores servers that were connected to successfully to prioritize future server connection attempts, ...and a lot more.For experienced users and scripting enthousiasts this new version has heaps of changes and other new thingies to play with. We encourage you to explore the new or improved identifiers, and the new events that have been added. Some changes are obvious, some need getting used to - please take your time to play with them and see how they work. May we invite you to the Message Board on the website with all questions you might have? The board offers great help with everything related to mIRC!Thanks for using mIRC, lots of fun on IRC,Tjerk Vonck.____________________________Full list of Fixes, Changes and Additions in mIRC 6.2:1.Undid changes that made the display smoother since slower computers  where unable to cope.

It is basicly encryption between you and the server, ensuring that anyone with a packet sniffer wont be able to sniff your traffic and get information such as your nickserv password. Pier-44 Servers are all connected via SSL, but it is up to users to choose to use ssl. Since anything you send to a channel is sent to anyone, anyone can sniff the traffic of an unencrypted user to get information, but any info you send between the server and services will remain secure.How do I use SSL?Many clients support ssl either out of the box or with an addon.mIRC Users1) Install mIRC as usual2) Download These DLL files3) Extract them to the root of your mirc directory (not in a subfolder), this is usually c:\Program Files\mIRC\4) restart mIRC5) Reconnect to Pier-44, but this time tell your client to use port +7001 example: /server irc.p44.org:+7001. The Plus sign tells mIRC this port is listening for incoming SSL Connections, so make sure its there.IRSSI UsersConnect to port 7001 and specify the ssl flag/server -SSL irc.p44.org 7001X-Chat Users1) Go to the server list2) Add/edit pier-443) Edit the servers to use port 7001 example: irc.p44.org/70014) Check: Use SSL for all the servers on this network and Accept invalid SSL certificate.My client isn't listed!Either theres no ssl support for it or ive never heard of it. Probably the latter if your client is called "Giant Douche IRC". Thu, 01 Sep 2005 11:12:17 -0500
