mIRC 5.90

PhOneman schopte een linkje naar een nieuwe versie van de populaire IRC client mIRC naar ons toe. Het bericht over een ernstig beveiligslek in de oudere versie dwaalt al enige tijd rond, dus upgraden is zeker aan te raden. De lijst met updates is lang, maar hieronder vind je een korte samenvatting terug:

Something you should really take a look at is the new and improved Address Book. It still offers an easy interface to addresses and related info of other IRC users but now also includes your notify list, Op, Voice, Ignore and Protect lists and a new feature to colour all nicknames around that match a certain format. You wanted all ops blue? your friends green? target and enemy red? You got it!
A smart "Keep channels open" option has been added to the IRC/Options dialog. It keeps channel windows open after you're kicked so you can read the last part of a conversation.
Built-in ctcp flood protection for ctcp version, ping, finger, and time has been added. It will ignore (groups) of users for up to 10 seconds.
In the display section you can now enable transparency support for desktop windows under Win 2000.
The dcc send/get windows interface has been redesigned. You can now easier open folders and resend files straight from the dcc send dialog. Also a small error in the DCC Send/Get cps calculation was fixed and the maximum bandwidth use by outgoing DCC's is better limited now.
Agent support no longer strips out high-ascii characters used in non-english languages.
