[OTR-dev] 4.0.0-rc3 ready to roll. Please try it out!

[Greg Troxel]

One of my paranoid friends showed up, and the new library did not work.

I did 'start private' and got a malformed message.  I then changed
settings to 'default' (vs 'always') and then to 'never', but still was
not able to interoperate, even with OTR disabled (the other person
probably is setup to force OTR, as I had been before).   The other end
is likely Adium.

Also, in the pidgin chat window, i have multiple tabs.  Two people don't
do OTR, and that otr tab has 'start', other things greyed, a separator,
their jid, and 'not private'.  That's all fine.  The other person has
done OTR (johndoe@ above), and is set to 'no otr', and looks the same -
but has the most recently looked at of the other parties' JID!!!  It
seems that it's enough to select the tab and come back, and that changes
the JID in the OTR menu for the otr-troubled contact.
