PircBot 1.4.6 IRC library released

It's becoming increasingly common for IRC networks to require clients to register with NickServ, and then identify themselves to NickServ each time they connect. Failure to do so prevents the client (or bot) from being able to send private messages to other users, and the server may even force a nick-change upon the client.

The new release of PircBot 1.4.6 addresses this problem by allowing bots to identify with NickServ (using a previously registered nick and password). This works on IRC networks which support raw NICKSERV commands, such as freenode.
