We are pleased to announce the release of pidgin-otr 3.2.0 (along with
libotr 3.2.0).

New in 3.2.0:

- The functionality of the OTR button has now moved to a menu.  There's
  an "OTR" menu, as well as an icon showing the current OTR state of
  each active conversation in the window.  The button can optionally
  be shown in addition, now in the conversation toolbar.
- New OTR icons from <cyrus_xiii at yahoo.com>
- OTR icons show up inline in the conversation window when the OTR
  status changes.
- Buddy authentication has been revamped, based on the user study
  published in SOUPS 2008. The default is now to choose a question and
  an answer only you and the buddy should know. The question is
  displayed to the buddy, who is prompted for the answer.  The "shared
  secret" and "fingerprint" authentication methods are still available.
- Translations for Arabic, German, Russian, Hungarian

As usual, the software can be downloaded from http://otr.cypherpunks.ca/
