I've made most of the changes I wanted but haven't had time to test them yet. Use at own risk:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~smcv/telepathy-gabble/log/?h=untested-otr Still to do: * testing (in particular, send "<" and "<a message that resembles HTML>" in both directions between Empathy and Pidgin, and check that neither is misinterpreted) * review from someone who understands libotr * Empathy: make sure OTR notifications are presented in a way that peers cannot fake. Because Empathy doesn't support HTML messages yet, distinctive formatting would be enough. * string-only handling of fingerprints (emit strings to D-Bus, parse hex -> binary when asked to trust a fingerprint from D-Bus) Nice to have, but not blockers: * TPAW UI for the enable-otr boolean parameter (for now, early adopters can turn it on with mc-tool - but I think real UI *is* a blocker for switching the default to be enabled) * Chan.I.Securable.{Encrypted,Verified} integration * enable-opportunistic-otr boolean parameter, and UI for the same (it will end up looking very similar to enable-otr, but with different handling in im-channel*.c) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 Title: empathy needs to support OTR encryption Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Invalid Status in Telepathy framework - library: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “libtelepathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Fedora: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy Hello, I just tried empathy (the Intrepid version) and it looked very solid and stable. There were a few minor things that could be improved (e.g. automatically resizing the contact list), but that is not the topic here. The reason why I won't switch to empathy from pidgin is the missing OTR support (http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ). This is a really important feature because no one should read your messages. There were others with the same idea (links at the bottom). Would be so great if it could support that important encryption standard. Thanks for helping out!
