I have built a new package for 1.0.1 that should fix some of the issues mentionned here, and it is available for testing here:
http://paste.anarc.at/otr/ the changes file is signed with my pgp key and should be used to authenticate the package. unfortunately, i can't test the peculiar conditions those bugs manifests themselves in - my irssi setup is still on jessie, so i'd rather have other testers before uploading to sid. thanks for any feedback. a. -- We have no friends but the mountains. - Kurdish saying
