“This version of mIRC continues to build on recent releases and addresses a number of issues that have been reported by users since the last release. It includes improvements, changes and fixes to a number of features”, the mIRC website reports.

“In particular, a new editbox “automatic” lines option has been added that dynamically changes the size of the editbox in a window to show the whole of your typed message, up to half the size of the window. This allows you to easily see and review a long, multiple-line message while keeping the size of the editbox small when it is not in use.”

Other changes include:

- Added support for the transfer of files larger than four gigabytes.

- Added /var -g switch to allow you to set global variable values.

- Added $input() identifier combobox support.

- Fixed UTF-8 text-wrapping display bug.

- Fixed switchbar display button-sorting display bug.

- Fixed window positions not being saved correctly for some windows.

- Fixed server connection not remembering SSL status in some situations.
