Hi,

I have been writing my own puny protocol plugin and was wondering
why the OTR plugin wasn't working. As I found out this is because
the plugin needs to know the maximum message size of the protocol.

I have been told that there is no way to ask the protocol plugin.
That is why the OTR plugin has the maximum message sizes hard coded
for a few protocols. There is way to use the OTR plugin configuration
file and it works, but this is impractical.

My question is when we can expect to have a way to expose the protocols
maximum message size? Someone on IRC kindly told me that I have to
wait for libpurple 3.0. Is there a time frame?

Thanks,
mwarning :-)
