I'm not complaining about people who spend time auditing security software and finding these bugs making their discoveries known - even if they are less than polite while doing so. (I myself am taking maximum advantage of the opportunity to poke fun at ridiculous or borderline fraudulent

Please bump the priority for this. If you can't add OTR support then please give instructions how to add a plugin. I've been waiting patiently for several years for this support. I was thrilled to see an IM client get audio and video support on Linux. Now it's time to get encryption. We have the

From comments when this first arose, the empathy developers were not interested in something that was interoperable with OTR, but might, someday, be interested in their own unique snowflake of an encryption system. I'm not a coder, but OTR is out there, works, and plays well with others. They

I am sorry if you feel that I have disappeared. I did not intend it that way. I did what I could to help. The developers of empathy stated that they could not implement OTR unless they had a spec first. They also forced the issue that my spec had to include XTLS. I am only a novice programer and
