This is a small update that addresses a number of important issues that have been reported by users since the last release. It includes improvements, changes and fixes to a number of features, including:

• The identd server issue that prevented identd from working correctly in some situations has been fixed.
• The /window -a command now correctly sets the focus for maximized windows.
• The time-out check that monitors the server connection has been changed so as to decrease the number of 10053 disconnection errors.
• The $findfilen/$finddirn identifiers now return the correct results for large numbers of files and folders.
• The SSL certificate validation issue that resulted in validation errors when connecting to a secure server should now be resolved.
• Other changes and bug fixes.

This update builds on and improves the stability of the new Unicode version of mIRC (see the previous v7.1 release announcement for details).
