I hear the next version is due out in 2017. So that means no one should bother posting ANY questions about when the next version will be out for at least the next 12 years.
Please see this thread conveniently with the subject line of When will the new version of mIRC be out and set to stay as the second post on that forum where ppl who look will see it and not ask the same question that has been asked roughly a bazillion times
