Additions

• You can now select all text in the input box with Ctrl+A.
• The script editor's event properties page now has a button
  to select from some common event masks. Click it to see a
  popup menu of the different event templates, then fill in
  the blanks to create a mask for your event. The templates
  are read from the file "eventmasks.ini" in your script path.
• You can ignore or unignore users from the nick list popup.
• New alias: /squery <service> <message>
• New function: $IsIgnoringNick(nick)
• The tab bar has been moved to a binary plugin, vp_tabbar.bpl.
  This will allow the tab bar to be replaced in the future, but
  some of the tab bar configuration settings have been disabled
  in this version. The tab bar configuration will be working
  again soon, in a different form. Please be patient.
• A mouse gestures plugin (beta) is now included,
  vp_gestures.bpl. If you chose to install it but now want to
  uninstall it, either delete the file or move it to another
  folder.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a wildcard bug where "v% *" wouldn't match "v foo".
  (The bug occurred when % matched an empty string and was
  followed by a space in the pattern.)
• The hyperlink popup appears for URLs in the status window.
• URLs surrounded by certain attribute codes are parsed
  correctly.
• Popup menu items for active nicks (and active servers, etc.)
  now work correctly in the status window. Note that channel-
  specific items like Op and Kick won't work as expected since
  there's no channel, even though they aren't grayed out.
• The ident server now returns the ports in the correct order.
• SetEventLine now updates $nick, $user, and $host for the
  following events.
• -before and -after events run in the correct order (highest
  to lowest priority).
• $var++ and $var-- correctly update the variable on all
  servers.
• Wallpaper and window backgrounds are reloaded when you click
  OK in the configuration window.
• VSInterp: Fixed an obscure issue involving script access to
  methods and properties of COM objects (FuncDesc was released
  twice).
• DCC Resume works when the sender is using mIRC 6.1+.
• Fixed a scrolling bug for output windows with less than a
  whole page to show.
• Fixed a server list saving bug.

Changed features

• <OnDCCFinished> events now receive an error number of -1 and
  a message of "Cancelled remotely" when the remote end closes
  any DCC chat, or when the remote end closes a DCC file
  transfer that hasn't yet completed.
• New events that you create in the script editor now start
  out as "after" events.
• /wall only sends to 9 nicks at once.
• VSInterp OLE Automation updates:
  - External apps can now pass interface pointers to OVS
  dispatch objects. The interface will be assigned an object
  handle for the duration of the method call, then unmapped.
  - The GetInterface() function now returns the actual IDispatch
  interface for mapped OLE interfaces, instead of an OVS
  wrapper.
  - OVS objects can now be passed to OLE Automation methods.
  A wrapper will be created automatically, just as with
  GetInterface().
• The active nicks popup and hyperlink popups are now
  initialized in an OnStart event instead of in virc.lib's
  footer. This means you can merge items into the nick list
  popup from an add-on script, and they will appear when you
  right-click an active nick in the output pane (after
  restarting ViRC).
