+irssi (1.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ With the release of Irssi 1.2.0 we now bundle the OTR plug-in as part of
+ the Irssi source code. During the import phase of the irssi-otr codebase
+ we fixed a number of issues, but one of them caused us to break backwards
+ compatibility for old irssi-otr users.
+
+ With the updated OTR implementation the secret keys of the user is no
+ longer stored with an account name of $nickname@$server (for example:
+ user@chat.freenode.net), but is rather stored with the network (or chatnet
+ if you like) name from Irssi (for example: Freenode). This should remove
+ the issue that some users have reported where if they connect to another
+ server on a given network the OTR implementation generates new keys for
+ you.
+
+ You can see your list of OTR keys in Irssi using /otr info.
+
+ Upgrade Path
+ ============
+
+ This requires a bit of manual work, but if you look at your ~/.irssi/otr
+ directory you should have 3 files:
+
+ otr.fp - containing the fingerprints of your OTR buddies.
+ otr.instag - containing the tags from OTR.
+ otr.key - containing your secret keys.
+
+ In otr.fp and otr.key you should manually open these files and modify the
+ old strings to the new format. The otr.key file is the most important one
+ since it contains the secret key material. The file contains an
+ s-expression like structure where the account name key can be found in the
+ (name name-goes-here) tuple. The otr.fp file contains a list of known
+ fingerprints. Correct the account name from your preview keys there as
+ well.

+irssi (0.8.10~rc5-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ This package has the beginnings of GNUTLS support for SSL rather
+ than the upstream OpenSSL code. This may have many bugs in and is
+ not feature complete. In particular it does not support verification
+ of the server's certificate. As a result the connection is vunerable
+ to man in the middle attack. This is only a regression if you use
+ the -cafile or -capath options to /connect. The data is still
+ encrypted.
