Greetings,
I had previously mentioned on this list that I had written a OTR plugin
for Trillian. Sadly, this plugin is in, what I would call, a development
state due to the fact that it doesn't behave nearly as well as I would
like with the dialog messages. There are reasons for that, some of which
may be beyond my control. Regardless, at the time I made such an
announcement, I had not released the source code for it. Some had
prompted for the ability to see the source, to ensure that nothing
nefarious was happening. That and a bit of slowdown on my part has
prompted the GPLing of the source code.
For those curious, for those that want to spot check my work, and for
those that won't trust it any other way, the source for the plugin can
be found on the project's homepage at http://trillianotr.kittyfox.net/.
A bundled development environment of the plugin itself as well as a
slightly modified libgcrypt (prereq for the plugin) is present there.
(The modification revolves around a severe lag in initializing the
secure memory pool of libgcrypt. Instead of letting it run until it runs
out of source information, the patch simply caps it out. The source is
there for it and the changes, including the build environment used to
make it all).
Enjoy!
