mIRC 6.3 发布

* What is New in version 6.3?
  Released August 16th, 2007.

This version of mIRC offers full Vista compatability with support for limited user accounts, U3 support,  support for tips (those small text balloons that pop up near the Windows tray) to notify you of various events such as incoming messages or users in your notify list coming on or leaving IRC, support for positioning the Treebar at top/bottom of the mIRC window, and a feature that allows you to switch between Normal and Compact modes. Compact mode makes mIRC behave like a messenger with the treebar filling the main window, all windows opening on the desktop, and so on. Hey, doesn't that sound like fun?

mIRC 6.3 fixes some buggy that made it stick to using a secure port if the last connection was a secure one. And when connecting to an ip address from a round robin dns pool, the original connect address is now remembered and the connect message now has  "dns pool" appended to it. By popular request Khaled changed the logging method back to the simple plain old method, so mIRC no longer uses the name.N.log filename format. Also a reload logs bug where mIRC was loading logs in wrong order is fixed. 

- Full Vista compatability, among others, means that new installations of mIRC now save all settings in the User's "Application Data\mIRC" folder by default. However, if the installer or mIRC find an old installation with a mirc.ini in the same folder as mirc.exe they will use the mirc.exe folder for all settings. If you are installing a new mIRC over an old version you should see no change in behaviour. The installer is now also aware of administrator and standard user accounts and installs mIRC accordingly. Under an Administrator account, the installer will create icons for "All Users". Under a Standard account, it will create icons only for the current user.
When run under Vista mIRC now checks for a corresponding virtual store folder at startup. Vista creates virtual store folders for older non-Vista compatible applications, such as older versions of mIRC. If mIRC finds such a folder, it displays a dialog box allowing you to retrieve your old mIRC files and settings. 

- With the U3 support in mIRC we should be able to make an U3 package available for mIRC with which you can take your mIRC wherever you want! U3 is a specification for applications to run from portable storage devices (ie. flash drives) without leaving any settings/traces on the host system. Look on U3.com for more info. 

- The support for traytips can be used to notify you of various events such as incoming messages or users in your notify list coming on or leaving IRC. The tips only appear when mIRC is not the active application and are hidden the moment mIRC becomes active. Tips can be fully configured and scripted to show exactly what you want, even in combination with mIRC's highlight function. and of course you can completely disable the tips ;-) 

As always this new version of mIRC addresses many, if not all, of the issues reported since the last release. A lot of time was spent tweaking new features, fixing bugs, and a handful of other things. In total there are over 100 changes in this version, making this a great new mIRC! We encourage you to explore the versions.txt file 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.

Full list of Fixes, Changes and Additions in mIRC 6.3:

1.Fixed /var bug when parsing multiple $identifiers() on one line.
2.Fixed /auser bug halting script if user already existed.
3.Fixed /toolbar -fl bug when an item in toolbar.ini contained a
  popup @menu.
4.Fixed custom DLL delay-unload feature so that it is only applied
  when mIRC exits. In other cases, the DLL is unloaded immediately.
5.Fixed mIRC always forcing an SSL +port if the last connection was
  an SSL +port.
6.Fixed popup menu positioning bug when pressing spacebar to display
  popup close to edge of Windows desktop.
7.Fixed $inroundrect() and $inellipse() bug.
8.When connecting to a round robin dns pool ip address the original
  connect address is now remembered and the connect message now has
  "dns pool" appended to it.
9.Fixed round robin dns pool ip address bug with SSL connections not
  remembering original host address during verification.
10.Fixed /queryrn bug not renaming same name with different case.
11.Fixed right-click popup menu selections not working correctly
   under Vista in some cases.
12.Fixed Servers List popup menu not displaying items correctly.
13.Fixed firewall password corruption bug.
14.Fixed script editor minimize/restore bug.
15.Fixed $sin/$cos/etc. rounding errors.
16.Fixed ? marked urls being deleted incorrectly while mIRC was
   running.
17.Fixed color codes not being processed properly in wrapped lines
   in some situations.
18.Fixed URL links not being opened with default browser under Vista.
19.The -r command line switch behaviour has been changed so that if
   no path is specified after -r, mIRC will use the executable path.
20.For Vista compatibility, new installations of mIRC now save all
   settings in the User's "Application Data\mIRC" folder by default.

   However, if the installer or mIRC find mirc.ini in the same folder
   as mirc.exe they will use the mirc.exe folder for all settings.
   Users installing over an old version of mIRC should therefore see
   no change in behaviour.

   The installer is now also aware of administrator and standard user
   accounts and installs mIRC accordingly.

21.Fixed command prefix /!. parsing inconsistencies across routines.
22.Fixed "// echo hello" being parsed as "//echo hello". The parser
   now halts parsing of empty // commands.
23.Fixed reload logs bug, was loading logs in wrong order.
24.Fixed on KICK event clearing $chan/$nick too early when you are
   kicked from a channel.
25.Fixed /drawtext color parsing bug in picture @windows.
26.Fixed /toolbar -fs bug, icon size was being saved incorrectly.
27.Fixed servers dialog intermittent gpf bug when sorting servers.
28.Fixed /dcc send -l and -m parsing bugs.
29.Fixed irc:// links not working under Vista.
30.Changed registry handling to ensure that mIRC works the same way
   whether run under administrator or standard user accounts.

   mIRC no longer updates the Uninstall section of the registry to
   point to the currently running mIRC, the Uninstall section is
   now only set by the installer. Removed -nouninst command line
   switch since this is no longer applicable.

   Also irc:// links are now only added to the Current User registry,
   not the local machine registry and this is only done when mIRC
   is run, not by the installer.

   The -service command line switch has been removed from the help
   file though it is still supported under 95/98/ME.

31.mIRC no longer uses an internal uninstaller, instead the install
   program now places an uninstall.exe in the mIRC folder.
32.Fixed dialog table definition not being able to call local aliases
   if dialog was opened from the command line.
33.Extended custom dialog "tab id" parameter to allow id to be an
   alias/identifier.
34.Fixed comments not being parsed correctly in the users list.
35.Fixed mouse cursor display bug during mark/copy.
36.Added internal U3 support to mIRC. mIRC looks for these command
   line parameters -appStart, -appStop, and -hostCleanUp, and looks
   for U3_HOST_EXEC_PATH and U3_APP_DATA_PATH environment variables.
37.Fixed ini storage bug when using -portable switch.
38.Changed -portable command line switch behaviour. Now makes mIRC
   both 1) avoid use of the registry and 2) use the executable folder
   as the mirc.ini folder.
39.Fixed /if parser not reporting invalid operator for => and =<,
   and added not support for !> !<= etc.
40.Fixed window display bug when rejoining an already joined channel.

   unable to write to the file.

   is specified, nick is used on all networks. Extended command to
   /notify -n <nick> [network] [note], where -n indicates network
   has been specified. Also added $notify().network.
44.Changed "Received Files" explorer display to show folders pane.
45.Notify/URLs list windows are now displayed in both the treebar
   and the switchbar.
46.Changed the way the notify list window is displayed on connect.

   desktop correctly if main mIRC window was minimized.
49.Added support for numeric 005 TARGMAX and MAXTARGETS tokens
   when sending privmsgs and notices in /amsg, /ame, /qme, /qmsg,
   /omsg, and /onotice.
50.Fixed notify list routine that was not correctly optimized, may
   have led to high cpu usage/interface lag for some users.

   with keyboard shortcuts, eg. Alt+O, Alt+B, etc.
52.Added support for notify list display in treebar, option enabled

   right-clicked treebar items. System menus are the default. Toggle

54.Added $menutype and $menucontext to supplement $menu. They are
   available during popup menu creation and indicate the menu type
   and context of the menu being created.
55.Changed left-click method on treebar items, it takes one click to
   open and close windows now.
56.Fixed issues with /mkdir and $isdir(). $isdir() will now only
   accept folder names, whereas previously it was accepting filenames
   as well.
57.Changed status window icon so that you can now tell when it is
   connected, connecting, logging on, or disconnecting.
58.Alt+LeftClick no longer changes the status window icon, instead
   it now adds a down arrow to the button. When clicked it displays
   a popup menu of hidden windows.

   issues experienced by some users.
62.Fixed favorites menu recent channels history bug.

67.Fixed $wrap() bug not handling bold control codes across multiple

71.Improved error handling in /load command.

   no longer documented.
75.Fixed MDI background display flickering bug.
76.The /setlayer command can now set the transparency of the main
   mIRC window.
77.When in the Script Editor mIRC no longer considers itself the
   active application, this allows flash/beep/etc. events to trigger.
78.All buttons that select/display files/folders now display the whole
   file/path with ellipsis if necessary.
79.Fixed nick color list freeze issue, instead of updating all nicks
   immediately when colors change, now only updates them when they
   are visible.
80.Moved highlight dialog to address book and added regex support.
81.Fixed options dialog memory leak.
82.Fixed "Move status window..." bug in Group dialog.
83.Fixed wildcard matching bug.
84.Added support for tips, text balloons that pop up near the Windows
   tray to notify you of various events such as incoming messages or
   users in your notify list coming on or leaving IRC.

   Tips only appear when mIRC is not the active application and are
   hidden the moment mIRC becomes active.

   Tips can be configured in the Options/Windows/Options dialog.

   The Highlight dialog in the Address Book also supports tips for
   matched items.

   Tips can also be scripted using the $tip() identifier:

   $tip(name,title,text,delay,iconfn,iconpos,alias,wid)
   Returns Nth position of tip if successful, zero if not.

   name - name of the tip
   title - title
   text - text
   delay - from 3 to 60 seconds
   iconfn - icon filename
   iconpos - icon position in filename
   alias - alias to perform when tip is double-clicked
   wid - id of window to which tip belongs

   name, title, text are required.
   delay, iconfn, iconpos, alias, and wid can be $null.

   $tip(name/N) can be used to list existing tips.

   Notes:

   Right-click in a tip pauses the time-out for all tips.

   Shift+Left-click in a tip closes that tip.

   Double-click in a tip triggers the alias if one is defined,
   or opens the associated window if not.

   The tip automatically fits the text into it and will at most
   widen to quarter of your screen width.

   New tips are queued until older tips time-out. Tips time-out
   at a slower rate if they are not at the head of the queue.

   If no wid is specified, the tip belongs to the status window
   of the currently active connection.

   A tip is closed if the window it belongs to is made active
   or is closed, or if mIRC is made active and the tip belongs
   to an MDI window.

85.Fixed /showmirc -nt bug minimizing mIRC but not activating
   the next application window.
86.Fixed $mp3() not handling unicode tags correctly.
87.Added $fullscreen identifier, returns 1 if an application is
   running in full screen mode, 0 if not. This applies to game and
   non-game applications.
88.Fixed agent speaking bug.
89.Extended /echo -iN to allow maximum N of 256.
90.By popular request, changed logging method back to old method, no
   longer uses name.N.log filename format.
91.For new installs the "download" folder is now named "downloads"
   and a "scripts" folder is created by default.
92.Added $ebeeps identifier, returns sounds enabled/disabled state.
93.Updated tab display routines to use XP/Vista themes.
94.Fixed menubar spaces bug, all scripts are now aligned on load
   using same align routine as editor.
95.Removed support for mirc.hlp file on F1 key, only mirc.chm is
   used now.
96.Fixed editor "monitor file changes" bug with .ini files.
97.When run under Vista mIRC now checks for a corresponding virtual
   store folder at startup. Vista creates virtual store folders for
   older non-Vista compatible applications, such as older versions
   of mIRC. If mIRC finds such a folder, it displays a dialog box
   allowing you to retrieve your old mIRC files and settings.
98.Added $sha1(text|&binvar|filename,[N]) identifier, where N = 0
   for plain text (default), 1 for &binvar, 2 for filename.
99.Updated to PNG 1.2.18 and PCRE v7.2 libraries and to OpenSSL
   0.9.8e support files.
100.The about dialog now displays a second page that loads from the
    mIRC website at http://www.mirc.com/regabout.html. No information
    is sent to the server.

    correctly on exit.
102.Changed compiler optimization settings resulting in slightly
    larger executable.
103.Added Mode menu item to the View menu in the menubar that allows

    main window, all windows opening on the desktop, and so on.
