New mirc 5.8 Released (September 7, 2000)

[ChrisReid]

Khaled has done it again! New version 5.8 of the irc client mirc was just released and, as usual, is full of tons of amazing bug fixes and new features. There's a sorta oddish new way logs can be named, there's a weird new beep that goes through your sound card instead of PC speaker, and the program now natively supports playing mp3s in a channel (although we couldn't exactly get that to work right). And it's a new mirc, so that's good enough reason for it to be time for all those who live on irc to upgrade. See you in #Wingnut.
