Description

Sorry for the delays!

Features (view full change log)

(IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are running Norton AntiVirus, you may need to disable it before installing ViRC 2.0rc3, and exclude ViRC.exe from virus scanning once it's installed. This is due to a bug in Norton AntiVirus - NAV 2002 tends to freeze up when it scans ViRC.exe. We are trying to resolve this issue with Symantec.)

General improvements: Enhanced nick list with custom colors and bitmaps. The nick list resizer's position is saved, and saved channel window positions are deleted if you don't join the channel for two weeks. The toolbar popup menu is now available by right-clicking ViRC's background and window scroll bars, and toolbar positions can be locked. You can select more than one file to DCC Send at once. /chatops and /globops are available for IRCops on DALnet-based servers.

Scripting improvements: So many! See changes.txt for a full description. Randomize, $NickCase(), $SelectedNick(), $SelectedNickList(), Delay/MDelay, changed Timer/MTimer, several commands for the new nick list, many more forms available with $MapObject(), changed $GetDCCInfo(), new TMessageDialog class, changed $StrTrim(), changed $ListQuote().

Bug fixes: See changes.txt for a list.

Next Version

Hopefully the next version will be 2.0 final. Mostly just documentation and interface changes.
