Our Download of the Day today is mIRC 7.22.

mIRC is a full featured Internet Relay Chat client for Windows that can be used to communicate, share, play or work with others on IRC networks around the world, either in multi-user group conferences or in one-to-one private discussions.

It has a clean, practical interface that is highly configurable and supports features such as buddy lists, file transfers, multi-server connections, SSL encryption, proxy support, UTF-8 display, customizable sounds, spoken messages, tray notifications, message logging, and more.

mIRC also has a powerful scripting language that can be used both to automate mIRC and to create applications that perform a wide range of functions from network communications to playing games.

mIRC has been in development for over a decade and is constantly being improved and updated with new technologies.

The latest version includes the following changes:

Changes in Version 7.22

* The Alt/AltGr keys should now work correctly for users with different keyboard layouts.

* The "Minimize to tray" option now defaults to off under Windows 7 due to the way Windows 7 hides all tray icons by default.

* The Channel Central dialog has been changed so that it can now be resized.

* The /list command issue with min/max values not working on some networks has been fixed.

* Added "Use compatibility mode" option to SSL dialog, which defaults to on. If turned off, OpenSSL will use the "empty fragment" feature which may make your connection more secure at the expense of less compatibility with some SSL servers.

* The /dns command issue with results not being shown when a non-existent nickname is specified has been fixed.

* The tray icon issue with mouse clicks not working in some situations has been fixed

* The /timer -h recursion issue should now be resolved.

* Other changes and bug fixes.
