I can’t get this release onto a production box, though it’s good to see
it’s come down the pike!

I’m happy to see that it has moved from a specific development project
into the main development tree. However, as you imply, 5.6 is still
a development branch, and far from production ready. For instance, RT’s
test suite, running against a non-debugging 5.6.4, takes more than twice
as long as on a standard 5.1.54 install.

We’ve been keeping an eye on MySQL’s InnoDB FULLTEXT index, though it
will require some hoop-jumping to make work properly with RT’s tables.
RT’s transaction contents (the Attachment table) stores text in a
LONGBLOB column, because we store binary attachments in there, as well
as text attachments. Once the 5.6 series has matured somewhat more,
we’ll take a deeper look at using its built-in FULLTEXT index natively
in RT.
