You need to identify via SASL to use to use this server

[WiseWomanVP]

Adium reports that I need to identify via SASL now for Freenode and Libera, it didn't use to need this. I can connect via web interface, but I liked Adium letting me connect to all sorts of different chat servers. There is supposed to be SASL support in version 1.6, but I can't see any work currently being done. Is there a fork somewhere for SASL? I would be happy for any information or for Adium to suddenly grow SASL in 1.6 :)
