plugin XEP-0384: OMEMO trust policy: OMEMO trust policy can now be specified. For now there are 2 policies: - `manual`: each new device fingerprint must be explicitly trusted or not before the device can be used, and the message sent - `BTBV` (Blind Trust Before Verification): each new device fingerprint is automically trusted, until user manually trust or not a device, in which case the behaviour becomes the same as for `manual` for the entity. When using the Trust UI, user can put the entity back to blind trust if they wish. A message is send as feedback to user when a new device is/must be trusted, trying to explain clearly what's happening to the user. Devices which have been automically trusted are marked, so user can know which ones may cause security issue.

=============================
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
