+# IRCv3
+
+This is a brand new from-scratch protocol plugin which is the first protocol
+plugin to be 100% code reviewed. It uses regex to tokenize messages.
+
+We are intending for it to be subclass-able so other networks like Twitch.tv can
+be supported but we're not quite there yet.
+
+We also are intending to support subclassing in other languages but we've run
+into some issues with dynamic GObject types and GObject introspection that have
+slowed us down.
+
+## Capability Support
+
+This is a list of capabilities that we currently support. We'll do our best to
+keep this list up to date, but if you notice we've missed something please let
+us know!
+
+* sasl (right now just PLAIN works)
+* cap-notify
