mIRC 5.5 hits the net after months of work

After several months, mIRC v5.5 has been released. In the past months they have been steadily working on new features and better code and they performed a lot of testing.

mIRC v5.5 has a new file out today, and PC gamers with itchy download fingers have something else to grab. After several months, mIRC v5.5 has been released. In the past months they have been steadily working on new features and better code and they performed a lot of testing. Of course the new list of IRC servers is included, as well as a new IRC Intro. IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk.
