OTRv4? v3? Hmm.

Nathan from Guardian here... we have users starting to request OTRv4 support:

but they may mean "libotr4" which is OTRv3

Any thoughts on how far we are from parity with the latest update of libotr that with otr4j?

It's on the todo list, but I'm not sure when it will be done. I was hoping to find some spare time during the holidays to dig a little deeper into this, but that unfortunately that didn't happen.

I started on the TLV 8 (extra symmetric key) part of OTRv3 support for otr4j. I have a draft of the API here:

devrandom/ChatSecureAndroid@f4635c2

Any ideas about way to better structure the API? In particular, I wonder if there is a better way to get out the extra data without passing in a list.

I've upgraded the API and wrote a draft implementation of the input side:

The otrV3 branch (adds V3 and fragmentation support) has been merged into master.
