Version reference tables
BitlBee
Since the switch to libotr4 overlapped with the fixes for twitter (which is the main reason 3.2.1 was released), and additionally debian released their own version with a name that's suspiciously similar to 3.2.1, here's a table that documents all the relevant versions to both OTR and Twitter support.

Fix for this OTR bug. |
bzr, .deb repo (or APT), .tar.gz |
The bzr builds before the 3.2.1 release show their version number in the format 3.2+20130714+devel+997-1. In the case of bzr997, it has almost all the features of the 3.2.1 release (except the bugfix from 998), so the "3.2" part of the version number might be misleading, but what matters is the "997" part.
