24 Aug 2012:
- Release 4.0.0
21 Jun 2012:
- Fixed an issue that happened when enabling the OTR plugin while a
conversation is open.
- Release 4.0.0-beta2
7 Jun 2012:
- The plugin now supports multiple OTR conversations with the same
buddy who is logged in at multiple locations. In this case, a new
OTR menu will appear, which allows you to select which session an
outgoing message is indended for. Note that concurrent SMP
authentications with the same buddy who is logged in multiple times
is not yet supported (starting a second authentication will end the
first).
- During a private conversation with a buddy, an incoming unencrypted
message will now trigger the regular incoming message notifications.
In Pidgin this includes showing the message in the top-right
notification area, if it is normally configured to do so.
- New Italian, Swedish, Polish and Vietnamese translations. Updates to
the French translation.
- When a private conversation begins, the plugin will indicate whether
Pidgin is configured to log the conversation.
- By default, OTR conversations will not be logged by Pidgin.
- Fingerprints in the manual authentication dialog are now selectable
- The plugin will no longer delete the OTR menus if a non-foreground
conversation window is closed.
- Except on WIN32, the plugin will now set the umask to 0077 before
creating the otr.* files in the purple directory so that they end up
mode 0600.
- The menu item now says "Reauthenticate buddy" when the buddy is
already authenticated.
- Release 4.0.0-beta1
Note that while the protocol is compatible, the API is not, and hence
there will be a pidgin-otr update within minutes.
There is an apparent gcc 4.1.3 -O2/SSP bug, which is avoided by
disabling SSP in libotr (which libotr finds and turns on). This is
temporary pending more fine-grained control and/or a fix.
Update to libotr 4.0.0. Note that libotr 4.x is API-incompatible with
libotr 3.x; upstream thinks this is ok, so pkgsrc won't try to work
around it.
24 Aug 2012:
- Release 4.0.0
- Support v3 of the OTR protocol
- The main new feature: sensibly handle the case where a user is logged
in multiple times to the same IM account
- API changes:
- instance tags, to support multiple simultaneous logins
- support for asynchronous private key generation
- the ability to provide an "extra" symmetric key to applications
(with forward secrecy)
- applications can supply a formation conversion callback if they do
not natively use XHTML-style UTF8 markup
- error messages formerly provided by libotr are now handled using
callbacks to the application, for better i18n support
- otrl_message_sending now handles message fragmentation internally
