4.Item 27, changed.
Reviewed 10000+ strings embedded in the source code, filtered down
by heuristics. Most translatable strings were already in resources
but some needed to be moved.
This also allowed me to review which literal strings needed
to remain in the code as non-translatable, depending on context,
eg. "Status Window" needs to remain non-translatable when used
internally in scripts and ini file item names, otherwise these
would break every time a different language was used, but needs
to be translatable for the GUI. This applies to window names,
script-related names, ini item names, and a variety of other
strings.
Some dialogs needed extra code to convert to/from the translatable
GUI resource string, visible in the dialog, and its non-translatable
version that is used internally.
A lot of legacy code depends on strings being formatted in a specific
way, eg. spaces/order of words in strings such as "Status Window". So
translating mIRC will not be as simple as just translating the text
in resources. A translator will need to be aware of a string's context,
format, and word order and the need to keep it as close as possible
to the original. Changing the code to get around these limitations
will take much more work.
Overall, this beta includes several hundred changes to source code
files and resources.

This will download and execute the exe specified in update.html
on the mIRC website. The exe is saved to the "updates" folder.
Currently, the exe is the standard install file, set to update
files in silent mode. By default, it will backup existing files,
update mirc.exe, mirc.chm, ircintro.chm, readme.txt, versions.txt,
and cacert.pem, and will perform required updates to other files
where necessary. After the update is complete, mIRC is restarted
and the About dialog is displayed.
