OTR was removed from Gajim because we consider the current libotr API
unusably broken. It was not possible to have reliable message delivery
when libotr was used, it silently dropped messages etc. The current API
requires to pass every message to libotr, whether it's an OTR session
or not. We tried some workarounds, until we decided to drop OTR
support. We have GPG and ESessions anyway, so just try to convince your
chat partner of XMPP, then you can use those :).

We are currently hoping that libotr4 will fix
those issues and might reconsider to revive the OTR support then.

And there is a branch that still has OTR support (just Google for it) -
however, it is totally unsupport, don't expect any support from the
developers if it fails.
