* Improvements and new features:

You might want to check out how the 'perform on connect section' has been moved to the connect section, near the server settings, and allows you to specify a different set of commands for different networks, and how basic features as the /aop /avoice /protect and /ignore commands now allow you to specify a network name.

The multi-line switchbar options in the display dialog have been extended, mIRC no longer closes a channel window on reconnect to a server if you have keep channels open enabled, no longer attempts to rejoin a channel on reconnect if the channel was invite only or if it was locked and mIRC didn't have the key.

Changes scripters will like include the $ticks which does no longer wrap around every 49.7 days, custom dialogs that no longer require an ok or cancel button, and new events like on CONNECTFAIL that triggers when a connection attempt including its retries has failed.

Fancy new things have been added like the Alt+F1 key combination that hides all windows associated to a status window switchbar button 'in' that button. Try it and you'll see what I mean!

Several more or less annoying bugs have been fixed;
- A memory handling bug which may have caused mIRC to crash in situations
where it wasn't able to allocate memory,
- a bug with mIRC not saving certain settings on exit, including /notify
command line changes, as well as server settings, ignore thingies, etc,
- a tab key nick completion bug,
- a window tiling bug when a maximized window was closed while
auto-tile/cascade was enabled,
- the on keydown/keyup events in custom @windows not handling some keys,
- editboxes that limited the amount of text that could be entered,
- the "* Disconnected" message not being displayed in channel window in some
situations,
- a problem where mIRC was not using the system default for browser/email
programs,
- a small problem where the nick in a channel/query window titlebar not
being updated on a nick change if the "Show nick in channel/query
titlebars" option was enabled, and lots of other things are improved or
fine-tuned after user feedback, your feedback!

May I remind how in version 6.0 multi-server support was added? With this feature mIRC allows you to connect to multiple servers at the same time. You'll notice the 'Multi-Server' button that provides a couple of new options supporting this new feature. If you hadn't upgraded to version 6.01 yet, this is the moment to get 6.02!
