9/09/2026 – mIRC v7.85

Changes:
1.Fixed display of numeric 344 whois reply on InspIRCd.
2.Fixed various issues relating to 64-bit/ARM64 in preparation for a
future 64bit release.
3.Changed STS support to allow previously accepted invalid certificate.
4.Fixed hotlink parsing to strip trailing . periods from an address.
5.Changed how server ports are parsed to ensure that only valid port
number formats/ranges/prefixes are accepted.
6.Added Alt+D key combination to the Connect dialog that allows you to
delete a server easily but with a confirmation dialog.
7.Updated TagLib library to v2.3.2.
8.Added support for WebSocket connections. You can now enter a websocket
address, prefixed with ws: or wss:, as a server address and mIRC will
connect to that server using websockets.
9.Added IRCv3 EXTBAN/ACCOUNTEXTBAN support to /ban and $ibl():
Added /ban -a switch that will check the IAL for a nick’s account
name and will apply the EXTBAN/ACCOUNTEXTBAN prefixes to ban/unban
the account. If no account is found, it applies a wildcard ban.
Added $ibl() properties .prefix, .mask, and .account which parse and
return values relating to the banned address/account. The .account
property uses the ACCOUNTEXTBAN prefixes to identify and extract the
account name.
10.Added /server -ircv3 [type] switch that allows you to set
no-implicit-names[=0|1] when connecting to a server. This setting
remains in place for a status window until changed.
11.Added support for IRCv3 context-chan message tag. When a message has
this tag, PRIVMSG and NOTICE will be re-routed to that channel, but
only if existing settings and/or open windows do not override it.
12.Added support for display of numerics 697/698 in channel window.
13.Added support for IRCv3 +reply. In a channel window, if you prefix a
message with “nick:” and the last message from that nick has a msgid,
your message will use that msgid in +reply when it is sent. mIRC will
also check received messages for +reply and will briefly highlight
related messages in the same window.
14.Update all dialogs to use the default Windows GUI font which should
make them more readable under Windows 10/11. For custom dialogs, the
GUI font is only applied to dialogs that use the map or dbu option.
15.Fixed text scaling/alignment for various features when Windows 11
Settings Text Size is changed to use a larger font. This setting is
now also supported by dialogs.
16.Updated a number of dialog control definitions to remove unneeded
definitions/flags.
17.Updated parsing of CAP echo-message/labeled-response on logon.
18.Changed Scripts Editor to disable minimize button when used in
non-desktop mode.
19.Fixed custom dialog optional text triggering editbox events.
20.Updated to UTF8-CPP library to v4.2.0.
21.Changed how away status is handled for ZNC events where numeric 301
is received but the away message is not.
22.Updated servers list and added/removed new/expired servers.
23.Updated OpenSSL library to v3.5.8.
24.Updated CA root certificates cacert.pem file.
