Subject: [OTR-announce] New OTR software now online
Message-ID: <20051105222604.GY847@smtp.paip.net>

The new versions of libotr, gaim-otr, and otrproxy are now online, in
source form, and as Windows installers.  The Fedora binaries are on
their way.  Other package maintainters, start your engines.  ;-)

[Package maintainers: note that this is a security release, if that's
relevant to your packaging mechanism.  Also, the libotr soname has been
incremented, so (for example) the Debian packages should be called
libotr2, etc.]

- The identity-binding flaw pointed out earlier has been fixed in
  version 2 of the OTR Protocol.

- gaim-otr-3.0.0 and libotr-3.0.0 released. Changes from 2.0.2:

    - Support for OTR protocol version 2; will still interoperate with
      version 1 clients (though with a warning to the user).
    - The OTR button now has a right-click context menu with some useful
      options.
    - The OTR button now has icons in addition to text to indicate what
      state a conversation is in.
    - Most popups have been changed to inline messages in the
      conversation window. 

- otrproxy-0.3.1 released. Changes from 0.3.0:

    - Support for OTR protocol version 2; will still interoperate with
      version 1 clients (though with a warning to the user).
    - Handle non-ASCII charsets properly.

As usual, report problems to the dev team at <otr at cypherpunks.ca>,
to the otr-users mailing list, or file a bug on the otr sourceforge page.
