At this moment I use kopete under kde3.2 with the cryptography and the jabber plugin. I can confirm the follwing bugs:

* a passphrase dialog pops up for each message received in absence (it is very annoying to type in your password 20 times or more!!!). This is at least the case in v0.7.5 and if I remember it correctly also in v0.8 (if you dont use kwallet).

* the History Plugin v0.8 saves (only) the encrypted message. While some paranoid people actually may want this behaviour, it renders kopete in my opinion completely useless. I guess the order in which the plugins are loaded is the reason for this behaviour. As with v0.7.5, it seems one can affect this to a certain degree by activate and deactivate the plugins in the desired order or at least by changing .kde/share/config/kopeterc manually.

* the problems with umlauts (ä,ü,ö,ß) between (kopete v0.7.5 <--> psi 0.9.1 win) and (kopete v0.7.5 <--> kopete v0.8 ). I tried to use the Auto Replace plugin to solve this problem, but it did not work very well (that is only in one direction, only for some umlauts, only till the next restart of kopete).

* The Tab "Plugins" and all Plugin-Tabs (Cryptography, Auto Replace, ...) as well, are not shown in "Configure Kopete" dialog in v0.8 as opposed to 0.7.5. I consider this a setback, because the only way one can access these dialogs is from "Menubar -> Settings -> Configure Plugins". Needless to say I like the menubar switched off.

I can only conclude that kopete is not yet ready for primetime and should not have shipped with kde3.2! It is what I call "alpha" quality software! Don't get me wrong here: It is stable, but a pain in the ass to use. What I find strange is, that (in my eyes) v0.7.5 is slightly more useable that v0.8. Dear developers, you did test your work bevor you submitted it, did you? :roll:

Hi,
I'm also useing the cryptography-plugin, since i use PGP anyway an my friends do too. I was also not happy about highlightning the incoming and outgoing messages, so i changed it back in the sources how it was in previous versions. It's quite easy and one of the things I love about open source. So no probem there anymore.
I have no problems with passphraese. I use gpg-agent, it stores my passphraese in cache so any applications can use it. I think it's the same what kwallet does in KDE3.2 . I still use 3.1.
Well, i'm from germany and noticed the behaviour with umlauts. For me, I take a look into it

Hi,
I meant i've noticed the errors on getting crypted messages containing german umlauts. Whenever there's a problem with applications I'm useing or when I want to change someting which is bothering me, I take a look into their sources. I'm not a software developer but i know a little about C and C++. Sometimes it works for me

I never got empty messages, this is new for me. Right now I'm useing kopete 0.8 with KDE3.1 . I checked KDE3.2 out, had some troubles with it. It's too soon for me to change, 3.1 is running great.

Is the history still encrypted? O, and could somebody tell me how to add the passhash into my kdewallet?
