      mIRC will immediately save unwritten INI settings as a precaution.9.Added STARTTLS support using the CAP tls protocol.

      To initiate a secure connection to a STARTTLS capable server, you  can use the /server -t switch or prefix the port number with a  star sign, eg. *6667.

      On connecting to a server, mIRC now sends CAP LS and waits for a  reply from the server before logging on. This allows mIRC to  determine if STARTTLS is supported and to initiate STARTTLS before  logon credentials are sent.

      If a server replies with a CAP reply, mIRC processes the CAP reply,  initiates STARTTLS if supported, and then logs on. If STARTTLS is  not supported, mIRC cancels the connection.

      If a server replies with numeric 451 (not registered), indicating  it does not recognize CAP, mIRC cancels the connection.

      If a server does not reply at all, after a few seconds of waiting,  mIRC sends a PING. If a server replies with a PONG or numeric 451,  indicating it does not support CAP, mIRC cancels the connection.

    10.Added /sockopen -t switch that initiates an SSL negotiation on a

      non-SSL connection, eg. as with STARTTLS, and a $sock().starttls  identifier.11.Fixed /sockread unsetting local variable instead of setting it to  an empty value in some contexts.12.Fixed /whois results being incorrectly displayed in @debug window  if it happened to be active in some contexts.13.Fixed SSL port cycling bug.14.Added /sockwrite -a switch that prevents characters in the range  0-255 from being UTF-8 encoded, as long as the line only contains  characters in the range 0-255.15.Fixed /server -nm not setting channels list filename correctly  when server window is created.16.Changed channels list "hide non-text channels" option to allow

      display of double-prefix channels.17.Changed status window titlebar to include port number when not  connected so you can see if the next connection attempt will be  secure or not.18.Fixed recent server connections not being saved to servers.ini file  if the "move to top on connect" option was disabled.19.Changed servers history menu to correctly show the history of  servers you have connected to as opposed to servers at the top of  the servers list. If you select "clear history", it now clears the  history as expected.20.Added ircs:// support to URL catcher.21.Changed log view window, opened by logging dialog, so that it is  positioned at the end of the switchbar/treebar window list.

    22.Fixed switchbar/treebar display bug that caused windows to be  displayed in the wrong order in some situations.23.Changed $sound() to use the TagLib library for improved reading of  MP3 and other media file formats.24.Added Shift-F3 key support in Scripts Editor to search backwards  through text.25.Fixed timezone bug that caused timezones with non-whole hour offsets  to be handled incorrectly.26.Updated manifest files to indicate Windows 8/8.1 compatibility.27.Extended $os identifier to detect 8.1.

    28.Fixed dialogs display bug that caused dialogs opened via MDI window  system menu to be offset incorrectly.29.Fixed $did bug that caused $did to be reset inside an event in some  situations.30.Changed SSL accepted cipher list to ALL:!ADH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:  !3DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS:!SSLv2:!LOW.31.Added "ciphers" item to [ssl] section in mirc.ini that allows you  to specify list of accepted ciphers.32.Updated libraries to PCRE v8.36 and OpenSSL 1.0.1j.33.Changed connection error messages to include actual SSL error  messages provided by OpenSSL.34.Changed $input() to allow entering of longer text and limiting text  entry to maximum length.35.Fixed text display spacing bug with zero width characters.36.Fixed timezone/daylight savings bug that was affecting timestamping  and time/date identifiers.

    14/08/2014 - mIRC v7.36

    Changes:1.Fixed mark/copy text bug.2.Updated the replace dialog in the script editor to remember its  position for the current mIRC session.3.Fixed /alias incorrectly halting script in some situations.

    4.Fixed SSL "Unable to get certificate CRL" bug.5.Reverted change to $sslversion so that it returns only the version  number and excludes the "OpenSSL" prefix.6.Updated libraries to OpenSSL 1.0.1i.

    04/08/2014 - mIRC v7.35

    Changes:1.Fixed slow mark/copy text in windows that contain long lines.2.Fixed listbox lines in Options dialog and other windows being  vertically chopped when DPI settings are set to a high value of  200% or more.3.Reverted change to alias/identifiers when called recursively that

      caused the script to be halted with a recursion error warning.4.Fixed listbox with checkboxes bug that caused checkboxes to be  checked if you scrolled through them with the up/down keys.5.Changed channel folder dialog so that it can now be resized.6.Changed online timer dialog to display information more clearly.7.Added /timer -zN switch to reset online timer, where N = 0 resets  current and total time, N = 1 resets current time, and N = 2 resets  total time.8.Added $onlineserver to return current server online time and  $onlinetotal to return total online time.9.Fixed Shift+Tab beeping when switching to listbox in channel window.10.Fixed $fullscreen not working on a non-primary monitor.11.Updated SSL routines to allow both static and dynamic linking of

      OpenSLL with mIRC. mIRC now comes with OpenSSL 1.0.1h linked  statically, so SSL is available without needing external DLLS.  However, if mIRC finds a newer version of OpenSSL on your system,  it will load that automatically.12.Added SSL option that allows you to control whether the internal  or external version of OpenSSL is loaded, by adding "load=N" to the  [ssl] section in mirc.ini, where N = 0 means "use internal, external  if newer", N = 1 means "use external always", and N = 2 means "use  internal always". The default is 0. If no external is available, or  there is an error loading external, internal is used.

      during multiple simultaneous DNS requests in rare contexts.9.Updated libraries to OpenSSL 1.0.1h.10.Added Lock dialog option to disable SendMessage. If cMethod value  16 is used for more useful error messages, returns 64 to indicate  SendMessage is disabled. You can use $lock(sendmessage) to check  if it is disabled.11.Extended mouse wheel to work in interface elements, such as list  boxes in dialogs, under the cursor even if they are not active.12.Added /comlist command to list open com objects.13.Added $servertarget identifier to return address specified in the  /server command, which may not be the same as $server.14.Added /play -x switch to treat the first line in the file as plain  text even if it is a number.

      was already in use by another application.18.Fixed full screen menubar bug that caused the menubar to be  displayed incorrectly in a multi-monitor setup in some cases.19.Added /fopen -x switch that opens a file for exclusive access. If  another application is using the file, /fopen will fail.20.Fixed /hsave to an INI file not clearing section before writing  hash table items to it.21.Changed Options/Display/Buttons option to allow "Small" or "Large".  This now changes both the toolbar and switchbar size. The size is  scaled based on screen resolution and DPI settings. If installed  on a tablet, the large button size is chosen by default.22.Fixed /echo -h bug that caused text not to hard-wrap.23.Fixed $ctime() bug where "nd" values were not being recognized.

    24.Updated libraries to PCRE v8.35 and OpenSSL 1.0.1g.25.Fixed $msfile() bug when too many filenames were selected under  Windows 7/8.26.Fixed $sdir() bug that caused selected folder not to be scrolled  into view when dialog is displayed under Windows 7/8.27.Added math identifiers $atan2(y,x), $hypot(x,y), $log10(x),  $sinh(x), $cosh(x), $tanh(x).28.Fixed $onpoly() bug due to rounding errors that may have returned  $true in rare cases where two lines are very close.29.Added $intersect(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4,method) identifier that  returns the point at which two lines/rays intersect. The method  parameter is optional. If not specified, two lines are compared.  If specified, it can be lr, rl, rr = line/ray, ray/line, ray/ray.

    30.Fixed /drawdot bug that caused it to be drawn slightly off center.31.Added $input() 'f' switch that forces the return of $no/$cancel  for edit/combo boxes.32.Fixed SSL certificate password dialog box being displayed multiple  times when multiple SSL connections are in progress.33.Added display of "Connect cancelled" message when a connection  attempt/retry cycle has ended completely.34.Added a single, standard lock/password dialog for use by all  features to replace multiple older implementations.35.Fixed SendMessage() WM_MCOMMAND bug that would have returned a

      successful result to the calling application even if the command  had in fact failed.36.Added support for encrypting server passwords in servers.ini. Old  plain text passwords are converted to the new format.37.Changed List Channels dialog lock password so that a hash is stored  in mirc.ini instead of the actual password. The old password is  converted to the new format.38.Fixed SSL certificate password dialog box bug that, on being  displayed, caused controls to be enabled even if user was currently  typing in another window.39.Added another method for detecting Wine, as a backup to the current  method.40.Extended SendMessage() to enable executing a command in the context  of a remote event. During a remote event, a $eventid identifier is  set to a unique value to identify the event. This can be passed to a  DLL which can then pass it back to mIRC using:

      SendMessage(mHwnd, WM_MCOMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(cMethod, cEventId), cIndex)

      This will cause the command/evaluation to execute in the context  of the remote event identified by cEventId. If cEventId is 0, this  indicates a non-remote event.41.Extended SendMessage() to return information about mIRC using  SendMessage(mHwnd, WM_MCOMMAND, -1, lParam) where lParam is -1 to

      receive the mIRC version number and -2 to receive the cMethod  options that are supported.42.Extended SendMessage() to support cMethod value 16 which causes  SendMessage() to return more useful error values instead of just  0 for failure and 1 for success. The return values are: 0 = success,  1 = failure or'd with 2 = bad mapfile name, 4 = bad mapfile size,  8 = bad eventid, 16 = bad server, 32 = bad script.43.Fixed hotlinks display bug that affected how hotlinks were displayed  in dialogs.44.Fixed topics, modes, and several other events not including the year  that the mode was set.45.Changed About dialog to include check for update button.46.Added installer check for limited user write access to the selected

      install folder when the "portable" option is enabled.47.Fixed alias/identifier behaviour inconsistency when a recursive call  is attempted which could have led to unexpected results. Both now  halt the script with an error message instead.48.Changed installer to include links to license and privacy policy.49.Added CAP userhost-in-names support.50.Changed CAP support so that CAP END will only be sent once the  server has replied to all requests with ACK or NAK and requests have  been processed.51.Fixed timezone/daylight savings bug due to a hack around a bug in a  previous version of the C runtime library.52.Fixed all server messages, such as MOTD, not being timestamped when  timestamp option is enabled.

    53.Added CAP server-time and znc.in/server-time[-iso] support. Enabled  automatically with a CAP request if server lists it in CAP LS. If a  server message has a @time prefix with a UTC timestamp, $msgstamp  will return this value.54.Extended /echo -tN where N is the UTC value you want to use as the  timestamp.55.Added support for ircs:// secure links.56.Improved irc/ircs:// links support in the windows registry by adding  the following entries: Class\mIRCURL, Software\Clients\IM\mIRC, and  Software\RegisteredApplications\mIRC.

    23/05/2013 - mIRC v7.32

    Changes:1.Fixed messages being text-wrapped incorrectly in some situations.2.Fixed SSL certificate files specified in SSL options dialog not  being loaded and used correctly when connecting to a server.

    Changes:1.Fixed editbox buffer bug that was not storing an edited line if you  pressed the up key.2.Fixed incremental search not working correctly in channels list  window.3.Changed email catcher to be more strict when determining whether  something looks like an email address.

    4.Fixed installer issue that may been the cause of popups.ini files  being overwritten in some situations.5.Added installer command line options /DESKTOP, /NODESKTOP, /STARTMENU  and /NOSTARTMENU to enable/disable creation of shortcut icons.6.Added "On Top" menu item to the View menu as users have difficulty  finding it in the system menu when it is enabled.7.Changed the "File changed" dialog so that it is closed automatically  if a load/reload command applies to the same file.8.Extended $encode/$decode to support blowfish. By default, the method  is compatible with OpenSSL and uses CBC, key hashing, a random salt  and PKCS#5 padding. The identifier format is:

      $encode(%var | &binvar, switches, key, [salt | iv])

      $decode(%var | &binvar, switches, key, [salt | iv])

      Where the switches are:

      method: c = cbc or e = ecb encryption (one or the other)  key: l = literal key (optional, must be 56 characters)  salt/iv: s = salt or i = iv or r = randomiv (all optional)  padding: z = zeros, n = one and zeros, p = spaces (all optional)

    9.Fixed SSL caching bug that may have required repeat acceptance of

    10/25

      ambiguous parameter formats used in older scripts.3.Fixed auto-hide nicklist not hiding when mouse is moved outside of  the channel window in some contexts.4.Changed Escape key so that it clears the current editbox if the  "Escape key minimizes window" option is not enabled.5.Fixed channel nicklist popup menu being wrongly displayed when right-  clicking in nicklist area and nicklist is auto-hidden.6.Fixed /exit -r bug not restarting mIRC when scripts editor dialog is  open with unsaved files.7.Updated libraries to zlib 1.2.7.8.Fixed tips bug that caused tips to flicker briefly in view when the  "Hide tips when locked" option is enabled and a message is received  while mIRC is minimized and locked.9.Fixed editbox buffer bugs that appeared in different contexts, such  as when combinations of Control+Up/Down were pressed or the editbox  contained multiple lines entered with the Alt+Enter key.10.Changed SSL feature to store SSL certificate hashes cache in the  servers.ini file instead of mirc.ini. Also, hashes are now stored  for all certificates, good or bad. If a certificate is good but has  changed since the last connection, a warning is now displayed.11.Fixed /hotlink bug that prevented hotlink popup menus from being  displayed.12.Changed display bitmap cache to check if mIRC has been blocked from  capturing screen buffer (which can happen with security software).

      If it has, mIRC reverts to slower, non-cache display method.13.Fixed full screen menu item not being checked when full screen mode  is enabled.14.Fixed script editor bug that caused a freeze when saving popups to a  non-INI file in certain situations.15.Changed font dialog so that when "set as default" is checked, "use  default" is automatically checked as well.16.Fixed maximized window position not being saved when the "on startup  minimize mIRC to tray" option is enabled.17.Fixed socket port allocation bug that would have affected IPv6  connections in some situations.

    30/07/2010 - mIRC v7.1

    Changes:1.This is the first stable release of the new Unicode version of mIRC.

      The project to convert mIRC to Unicode has taken almost two years of  development and testing and has required tens of thousands of changes  to 150,000+ lines of source code. This has been the most complex and  time-consuming update to mIRC since it was created in 1995, when it  started out as a non-Unicode, 16-bit, Windows 3.1 application.

      Many areas of mIRC have had to be updated or re-written, from file  handling to text processing, from display to memory allocation, from  server communications to file transfers.

      mIRC should now be faster, more stable, and more compatible with  the latest versions of Windows, and should be able to better handle  the display and input of a variety of languages.

      In addition to being converted to Unicode, there are a few other  notable changes:

      Improved Windows 7 compatibility  More reliable INI file handling  Faster text display/scrolling  Speech support  Improved interface design for a number of features  Automatic text color correction  Menubar Alt key show/hide feature  Support for italic text and other font styles  Optimized SSL routines

      Status window SSL connection icon  IPv6 support  Improved portable support  Persistent channel history  Digitally signed executables  Automatic splitting of long channel/private messages  Full screen display with F11 function key  UPnP support  Many bug fixes  And more

      For a full version history of mIRC v7.x development, please see the  list of changes starting with v7.0.

    19/25

    12.Added /bwrite -t switch, interprets text value as plain text and  does not evaluate &binbar variables.

    28/05/2010 - mIRC v7.04

    Changes:1.Added UPnP support. The Ports dialog allows you to enable UPnP  support for retrieving your external IP address, the identd server,  DCC connections, and the DCC server. The first three options are  enabled by default.

      mIRC marks UPnP ports that it opens as "mIRC". It closes UPnP ports  the moment they are no longer needed.

      If mIRC is connecting to multiple servers at the same that use both  IPv4 and IPv6, the UPnP port for the identd server will only be able  to handle either IPv4 or IPv6 at any one time, since a UPnP port can  only be bound to one address.

      If you make any changes to the UPnP options in the Ports dialog, mIRC  performs a quick check to see if UPnP is available and will warn you  if it is not.

    2.Added /socklisten -p switch to enable UPnP support for a listening

      socket.3.Changed hotlink feature to handle more formats.4.Fixed /clear -g switch bug.5.Optimized display routine to use bitmap caching more efficiently.6.Changed the way a server connection is closed after sending /quit to  make disconnection more robust/graceful.7.Added check for empty servers list. If servers list is empty, mIRC  looks for the "defaults" folder and copies the servers.ini from  there to the data folder.

    1.Changed DCC Send/Get windows to show long progress bar when window  is maximized.2.Changed DCC Send/Get switchbar buttons to display progress bar in  black during transfer and grey when finished.3.Fixed /fseek line matching bugs.4.Optimized BOM-checking in file routines, should have minimal impact  on read/write speed now.5.Fixed $dns().ip bug when resolving an IP address.6.Changed Control+N back to shortcut for channel switching.7.Added "Split long channel/query messages" option to Messages dialog.  If a message is long enough that it might be chopped by the maximum  server line length, it is sent as mutliple lines.8.Fixed font bug with reading font settings from mirc.ini.

    9.Optimized display routine, should be faster in some situations.10.Changed richedit editbox support back to riched20.dll since it  seems to be faster and more reliable overall.11.Optimized the way scripts are loaded into script editor editbox.12.Fixed INI file handling bug when reading section/item/data that  are enclosed in quotes.13.Fixed hotlink feature not handling single-word hostnames.14.Changed $utfencode/$utfdecode to return input text if they are  unable to encode/decode the text instead of returning an error.15.Changed the way the file routines set end-of-file and error, should

    20/25

      behave more like older versions now.16.Added /raw -n switch to prevent characters in the range 0-255 being  UTF-8 encoded when sent to the server. Also added a $rawbytes  identifier that returns the incoming server message prior to any  parsing/decoding.

    01/05/2010 - mIRC v7.02

    Changes:1.Added Unicode/UTF-8 BOM support to file routines. This applies to all  files that are read or written as text, including INI files.2.Changed DCC Send/Get windows to allow full filename to be viewed when  window is resized.3.Changed DCC Get to open download file with exclusive write access.4.Added support for detecting Wine so that mIRC can use alternative  code for features that need it. Around fifteen separate workarounds  were implemented. Features that could not be made to work reliably  (richedit editbox support and playing mp3 and mid files) are now  disabled.5.Changed mouse wheel scroll method in the script editor editbox to  allow faster/smoother scrolling.6.Fixed system shell DDE messages bug.7.Changed font-linking implementation slightly, should be faster and  support more characters.

    8.Added support for /dns $server to fill $serverip for SOCKS5 users,  though note that this results in a DNS leak.9.Fixed treebar background update bug.10.Optimized display routine, should now be faster when displaying  control codes.11.Fixed $regml().pos bug.12.Added Names dialog back to Display options dialog.13.Fixed /sockudp -k bug.14.Fixed line colors parsing bug when reloading log files.15.Fixed query flood check bug.

    15/04/2010 - mIRC v7.01

    Changes:1.Changed the way fonts are set for editboxes in windows and in the  script editor. This should resolve issues for users who are seeing  the font change when they enter text.2.Changed the foregound/background color correction feature so that it  no longer applies if a ^K background color is specified.3.Fixed /filter gpf bug.4.Fixed /fopen gpf bug.5.Changed $input() icons default sound behavior.6.Fixed text display bug where last character was not entirely visible  in some situations with certain fonts.7.Changed toolbar and switchbar to not display separators when  background picture is used.

Most applications, such as web browsers, can only  reply to ANSI DDE requests, so mIRC now sends DDE requests in ANSI  as opposed to Unicode. mIRC can now reply to both Unicode and ANSI  DDE requests.11.Changed identd default behavior when choosing userid from email  address or identd userid field.

      -s = speed (0 to 100)  -p = pitch (0 to 100)  -c = clear all queued lines  -l = apply lexicon settings in speech dialog.  -u = apply option settings in speech dialog

      DWORD mVersion;  HWND mHwnd;  BOOL mKeep;  BOOL mUnicode;  } LOADINFO;

    53.Added SendMessage WM_MEVALUATE/WM_MCOMMAND support for Unicode.  By default mIRC assumes that mapped file data is ANSI for backwards  compatibility. However an application can "or" the value 8 in the  cMethod parameter to specify Unicode data.54.Changed display behavior for a number of dialogs, such as the DCC  Send/Get dialogs, so that buttons are now disabled for a short time  when the dialogs are displayed to prevent accidental typing. If the  user is typing, the buttons remain disabled until the user stops.

      Added a 'b' switch to $input() and an "option disable" property to  custom dialogs that enables this behavior.

    55.Fixed treebar display bug when displaying DCC window names.56.Changed script editor Order dialog to automatically select the  active script in the listbox on opening.57.Updated editbox in all windows and script editor to use richedit 4.1  msftedit.dll for improved Unicode support. If not available reverts  to riched20.dll.

    58.Changed line numbering method in script editor, uses more reliable  method that is independent of editbox.59.Changed status window icon to display a yellow lock when on a secure  connection using SSL.60.Fixed Control+K color dialog centering bug.61.Changed servers list sorting method so that the networks listed in  the [networks] section of servers.ini are now placed at the top.62.Changed DCC Send/Get transfer windows default font, now uses the  system dialog font. Also switched to appropriate system font for  measurements in features such as $input() and popup menus.63.Changed design of DCC Send/Get transfer windows, interface is now  clearer and the display updates once a second.64.Changed flood protection to begin working only after receiving the

      first numeric to prevent logon issues in some situations.65.Changed design of the File Type warning dialog, now clearer and also  shows the file extension that was ignored.66.Optimized the way line indentation works, such as for /echo -iN,  and other displayed lines.67.Improved tab and indent spacing measurement method for both fixed  and non-fixed width fonts.68.Improved text-wrapping at whole word boundaries, and now wraps at  both spaces and commas.69.Numeric 422 "MOTD file is missing" message is no longer displayed  when first connecting to a server.70.Fixed proxy errors not being displayed correctly in some situations.71.Added a bind listbox to the Connect/Options/Ports dialog that lists

      all active networks interfaces for easy selection. It still allows  you to enter an IP address as well.72.Updated /dns command, now multi-threaded, resolves concurrently,  and can return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. By default, /dns only  returns IPv4. You can use the switches -46 to return a combination  of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.73.Added support for IPv6 connections. By default, mIRC will always use  IPv4, so IPv6 support must be explicitly enabled using one of these  methods:

  • 8/20/2019 Versions mirc

    24/25

      1) Enable IPv6 support in the Connect/Options/Ports dialog. This  allows mixed IPv4 and IPv6 connections, with IPv6 taking priority  in DNS resolution. This means that if you try to connect to a server  that has both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, mIRC will try IPv6 first.

      2) The bind option in the Connect/Options/Ports dialog. If you  specify an IPv4 or IPv6 adapter/address, DNS resolution and all  connections will be made based on the adapter/address type. If you  explicitly specify an IP address for a connection, such as a /server  or DCC connection, it overrides this setting.

      3) The /server command with switches -46 to force DNS resolution  to return either IPv4, IPv6, or both. If you specify an IP address,  it overrides the switches. The server window will use the requested  DNS method for all subsequent connections until you change it with  the /server command.

      Note: in order to use IPv6, both your version of Windows and your  Internet connection must support IPv6.

    74.Added $iptype(text) identifier, returns "ipv4" or "ipv6" if text is  is a valid IP address format. With IPv6 addresses, the properties  .compress and .expand can be used.75.Added cue text (optional) to Connect dialog for user name and email

      address.76.Extended $portfree(port,ip) so that you can specify an ip address.  If not specified, all active interfaces are checked as before. An  adapter name can also be used instead of an ip address.77.Added $bindip(N|ip) identifier. If N is specified, lists active  network adapters with properties .name, .ip, .loopback. If an ip  address is specified, returns best adapter for connecting to that  ip address.78.Updated to OpenSSL 0.9.8n library.79.Updated installer to offer a portable install option that can be  used to run mIRC on a USB flash drive.80.Added support for whois numeric 729.81.Added "Invalid certificate" disconnect message in the event of an

      SSL connection failing due to an invalid certificate. If there is a  DNS pool, mIRC will now continue to retry the connection.82.Changed /localinfo to report an error if you try to use an invalid  switch. Also fixed /localinfo not setting/saving the local info  results correctly across server windows.83.Fixed hotlink shift-key display bug.84.Fixed logfile bug when window is switched between MDI/desktop.85.Added $file().sig property, checks digital signature of a file.86.Added check for foreground/background colors in control codes in  text. If they are the same, the foreground color is changed to  ensure the text is visible.87.Changed color dialog behavior: if you delete all schemes, the  default schemes are added back to the list.

    88.Changed position of history menu in file and favorites menus.89.Added /close -t switch, closes all status windows. If used with -i  switch, closes only if not connected/connecting to a server.90.Channels history is now saved across sessions to the [chanhist]  section in mirc.ini.91.Fixed tips display bug that caused tip width to be smaller than  necessary, shortening the title text.92.Fixed SSL warning dialog bug, was not showing the actual error  message in some cases when a certificate error was detected.93.Fixed /var gpf bug.
