13/03/95 - mIRC v2.6b (a dud version - was unstable)

Bug Fixes/Additions:
1) Finger routine wasn't being cancelled properly.
2) Now allows user to enter their own IP address.
3) Certain windows would beep on closing (definitely fixed now!)
4) Routine for printing text in window majorly optimized and cleaned up.
5) Listbox popup menu would popup even if a user wasn't selected.
6) Cleaned up the retrieve ban list routine.
7) Winsock startup routine wasn't being initialized properly.
8) Copy/Paste routine has changed. No longer need to press the shift key.
9) QUIT wasn't appending quit message.
10) Child windows were being positioned outside main window.

    .ini files for different nets.
16) Added /! command, recalls previous command.
17) Cleaned up the help file, made IRC commands section readable.
18) Now compiling with different optimization switches. This
    automatically fixed around 5 "bugs" !!!

08/03/95 - mIRC v2.5a

Bug Fixes/Additions:
1) added "always retrieve local host" option for people who have
   dynamic IP addresses!
2) channel mode in title is permanently on. not an option anymore.
3) Added ctcp USERINFO command for compatibility. However, it returns
   the same information as a ctcp finger command.
4) moved some options to different windows were they made more sense.
5) added /finger and /auto commands.
6) fixed problem with releasing memory... popup menus weren't
   being freed properly so mIRC would lose as much memory as
   the size of the popup menus defined by the user. With the
   mirc.ini that comes with the program, this turned out to be
   3k+ of system resources everytime the program is run.
7) the MODE for channel mode changes gets messy when lots of
   mode changes occur. cleaned it up.
8) Window names in Window menu would not switch to the correct
   window when selected.
9) Text buffers for windows were not being freed properly.
10) Can now set the default font for the status/finger/list windows
    from their system menu. Only the DCC Send/Get windows have to
    be set from the font dialog window.
11) added auto-log option for channels and query/dcc chat.
12) Commands such as /finger and /run can now be used off-line.
13) Corrected some mistakes in the mirc.ini file.

05/03/95 - mIRC v2.4a

2) notify would keep notifying even if it was still waiting
   for previous notify to be returned by server.
3) popup menu positioning was incorrect in some situations.

02/03/95 - mIRC v2.3a

Bug fixes/Additions:
1) dcc get received file okay but closed connection too early.
2) dcc send/get/chat were re-initiating arrays too early,
   didn't cause problems but made the program beep everytime you
   closed a window because the array was empty. 
3) some debug information was being printed! Arrrrgh! forgot to
   turn off the debug switch in the first release :)
4) updated help file with description of previously coded but
   forgotten items.
5) In dcc get, if sender client did not specify size of file
   (which it should!) then mIRC said the size was zero bytes.
   Now it just says [unknown].
6) highlighting now works properly.
7) ".." previous directory wasnt showing up in dcc send dialog.
8) the channel listbox wasnt adding/removing nicks properly.

   place now brings ban list up.

    in DCC send/get transfers.

12) adds "/nick " to editbox if both nicks collide on login.
13) dcc send/get had problems with packet size. fixed.
14) other cosmetic changes.
