Any recent version of GLib (2.4 or higher) will work. 68 69 Off-the-Record encryption support will be included by default if the 70 configure script finds libotr in one of the usual places. You can pass 71 --otr=1 or --otr=0 to force it on or off, respectively. 68 72 69 73 These days, MSN Messenger clients have to connect to the MS Passport servers … … 145 149 146 150 147 A NOTE ON ENCRYPTION148 ==================== 151 A NOTE ON PASSWORD ENCRYPTION 152 ============================= 149 153 150 154 There used to be a note here about the simple obfuscation method used to -
