mIRC 6.2 has been released! (July 28^th 2006)
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!

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. In total over 120 changes have been made to mIRC. You'll have to dig through the help file in mIRC and the whatsnew.txt on the Web to learn about the complete list of changes and their impact. 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 visit 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.

What is IRC? IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk; you'll find the whole diversity of human interests, ideas, and issues here, and you'll be able to participate in group discussions on one of the many thousands of IRC channels, on hundreds of IRC networks, or just talk in private to family or friends, wherever they are in the world.

What is mIRC? To use IRC you need a small program like mIRC, an IRC client for Windows, written by Khaled Mardam-Bey. mIRC is a friendly IRC client that is well equipped with options and tools. mIRC is shareware, which means that you can download mIRC and try it out freely for 30 days to evaluate it. If during, or at the end of, the evaluation period you decide that you would like to continue using mIRC, you must register your copy.

Message board
The mIRC website has a useful and friendly message board where you can post questions if you need help, or just discuss mIRC and IRC-related issues. The message board can be used by anyone, so feel free to dive right in. If you're new to the message board and wish to post questions, make sure that you log in as a New User first.
