This release contains a number of bugfixes since the 4.0.8 release.
It also contains the first set of embargoed security tests fixed by
patches released on 2012-05-22. These are the tests for
vulnerabilities fixed in RT 4.0.6 and RT 3.8.12.
This release also requires a newer HTML::RewriteAttributes.
You will be prompted to upgrade when upgrading RT or when manually
running 'make test-dependencies'.
If you have set a custom @jsfiles in RT_SiteConfig.pm, you will need to
amend this to include the new jquery.cookie.js file added to
RT_Config.pm. See UPGRADING-4.0 for more details.
Bugfixes
- IE8/9 are encouraged never to use compatibility mode.
- User autocompletes on Oracle now work.
- Disabled personal groups hiding out from 3.8 are cleaned out.
- When upgrading from 3.8 to 4.0 the article upgrade points to the
correct upgrading documentation. - Restore the link to a Queue's History.
- Stop manually deleting Custom Field Values in the REST API, use
the standard RT API calls. - Avoid Devel::StackTrace 1.28 and 1.29 which are known to break RT.
- Don't show the full login page to mobile clients.
- Refresh your Localization preferences on each page load.
- TicketSQL containing Queue = 'Nonexistant Queue' will not generate
invalid SQL. - Fix an error deleting Custom Field Values on some installs.
- Ensure that leading newlines on Templates are preserved, despite
browsers stripping them. - Eliminate a potential deadlock on large emails when using GPG.
- Handle emails in unknown charsets better.
- Fix GPG Error templates that used reference passing.
- Make Configuration written by the installer consistent and skip some
keys. - Log better error messages and fewer warnings with parsing unparseable
sender email addresses. - Add a missing table element to the Outgoing Mail element.
- Allow 'requestors' on REST ticket creation because it was allowed in
3.8 (earlier versions of 4.0 only allowed requestor as a key). - Fix loading of _Vendor and _Local files in plugins.
- Remove menu/page overlapping that prevented clicking on some links.
- Handle invalid/unindexable Full Text Search records in Pg better.
- Allow users without the ExecuteCode right to create Simple templates.
- Ensure that templates which use heredocs won't have mysterious
failures. - Fix null and NULL to work interchangeably in TicketSQL.
- No longer match on an english string on the Jumbo page. This would
result in the Comment/Correspond textarea remaining populated if using
RT in a non-english locale. - Remove even more old REST restrictions on Custom Field, Queue and
other object names. - Avoid warnings when building the menu on pages with invalid Queues or
other objects. - Saved Search descriptions can safely contain [] without running
afoul of the localization infrastructure. - Allow setting a Queue's Lifecycle back to 'default'.
- Stop using HTML::Mason's cache_self method. It caused some rendering
bugs with GnuPG keys and won't be fixed by upstream. - Fix "RefersTo is NULL" and "Requestor is NULL" to work properly in
TicketSQL (before we only checked for "IS NULL"). - Instead of localizing "Owner Name" in the charting UI, instead
localize the words separately. - When overriding $HomepageComponents or other reference config types in
RT_SiteConfig.pm, the name would not render properly on
Configuration.html. - Clean up session lockfiles because Apache::Session::File doesn't.
- Improve Custom Field Upload rendering when multiple files have been
uploaded. - Bust the cache used by the SelectQueue widget when a Queue's name
changes. - Dates on the Bulk Update page such as Due, Told, etc are now rendered
as DateTimes.
Features
- The Rights Editor now keeps track of the user/group and tab selected
when submitting and switching between states. - Allow bookmarking tickets from the mobile interface.
- Warn less when your RT is behind a proxy.
- New CheckMoreMSMailHeaders config option that tries harder to detect
outlook and repair weird linespacing issues in text parts. - New callbacks to add more information to the Outgoing Mail elements.
- When listing statuses for multiple Queues/Lifecycles, group statuses
by Lifecycle (collapsing Lifecycles with identical Status lists). This
provides a more navigable status list on pages such as the Bulk Update. - Improve performance of shrink_cgm_table.pl and
shrink_transactions_table.pl by processing more rows at a time. - When updating fields that contain lots of text (such as templates)
don't display the entire contents of the template. - Add Custom Field styling and a callback to easily add CFs in the mobile UI.
- Search Results that display many Custom Fields across many ticket rows
will now cache Custom Field objects and make fewer database queries. - Extensions that use ExtractTicketId can now cleanly alter the subject
of the ticket. - New callbacks at the beginning and end of search results.
- Record an X-RT-Interface header to track how a ticket was created.
- Improve dashboard rendering in Outlook and Lotus Notes by scrubbing
JavaScript and not including the print styles. - Update messages to include the user being affected rather than saying
"Added principal" or "That principal". - Provide add_after and add_before convenience methods for extensions
adding new menus to RT. - Display examples of the Date Format preferences in the user's timezone
to make it clearer which formats are defined as UTC and which aren't. - Users changing their password can now hit enter and not submit the
Auth Token Reset form. - When users move a ticket from Queue A to Queue B and no longer have
the ability to see the ticket in Queue B, RT will still display a
message confirming that the move happened.
Documentation
- Lifecycle documentation separate from the RT_Config.pm docs.
- Document how to use the Style Editor and how to add your own CSS.
- Document basic approvals configuration.
- Improve documentation and examples for CreateTickets action
- Improvements to the Article setup/usage documentation.
- Clean up extraneous quotes in our POD.
- New documentation on recommended backup procedures.
- Remove some erroneous documentation in the REST interface.
- New documentation for the initialdata file format.
Development
- Improve SQL logging on record creation and the autocompleter.
- Improve the debugging mason errors to include a stack trace.
- Ensure tests never run in the local locale (which can cause
interesting failures). - Catch and error if we throw warnings in tests.
- The rt-apache tool now accepts "." so you can easily run from a git
checkout. - Enforce internal policies on the repository with 99-policy.t.
- Inline test server now clears the callback cache between tests.
