Hello,

Are there any plans to include a built-in SASL functionality? We had been directing people to use the SASL script that was created years ago for this purpose, but it's clunky and finicky. As a solution, we've been recommending that our users switch to AdiIRC or HexChat as desktop alternatives in order to use the SASL Auth feature easily -- most elect to switch clients rather than fight with the script.

This would probably have to go hand in hand with providing better network and password management per-network for identifying to various nick authentication services, since the current 'perform' function is rather outdated in comparison to pretty much every other client -- even the non-GUI clients many of my opers use have these things built into them.

At any rate, we'd like to know if there are plans to build this in or if it's a matter of use the old SASL script add-on because there is no intention of doing so.

Thanks!
