plugin aesgcm: use 12 bytes Initialisation Vector: SàT was using 16 bytes IV when sending files withr AES-GCM, due to ChatSecure being only compatible with that. Monal, an other iOS client is only compatible with 12 bytes IV, and ChatSecure has fixed its code to also handle 12 bytes IV, so there is not reason anymore to use 16 bytes, and SàT now uses 12 bytes.

=============================
identity: identity management
=============================

Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about
an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed.

get
===

Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify
the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and a link to the
cached avatar.

example
--------

Get identity information about an entity::

  $ jp identity get somebody@example.org

set
===

Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. You set the data to change
using ``-f KEY VALUE, --field KEY VALUE``, where ``KEY`` can only be ``nick`` at the
moment.

example
-------

Set the nickname of default profile::

  $ jp identity set -f nick toto
