Release Notes: Support for pidgin 2.x, new translations for English, Dutch, Spanish, French, and Slovak, a new option to not log OTR conversations, transparent fragmentation of large messages, and replacement of the "view secure session id" and "verify fingerprint" options from the OTR button menu with an "authenticate buddy" option. This new option allows you to authenticate your buddies by entering some secret that only the two of you know rather than by using a long, user-unfriendly sequence of hex characters.
Release Notes: Support for OTR protocol version 2 was added. It 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 the state of a conversation. Most popups have been changed to inline messages in the conversation window.
Release Notes: A fix to co-exist more nicely with other encrypting Gaim plugins. gaim-otr is now autoconfiscated.
Release Notes: This release adds default and per-buddy policy selection: never use OTR, OTR only if manually requested, automatically start OTR if possible, or refuse to not use OTR. It now resends the last message if it caused a re-keying. OTR control messages are no longer displayed as if they were received as IM messages. There is a new multi-page UI. Users can send a control message to a buddy if a private conversation is terminated. It now removes people without fingerprints from the Known Fingerprints list. The column heads in the Known Fingerprints list now sort properly.
