RT 1.3.85 - RT1 importer

RT 1.3.85 adds what I believe to be a complete importer for an RT1 instance.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND attempting to import tickets from an RT1 instance into
anything other than a brand new, empty, pristine RT2 instance,

If you import tickets from RT1 to RT2, I would recommend checking over
your new RT2 instance VERY CAREFULLY before taking it into production.

I would like folks who plan to do an import before going live with RT2
to try an import this week, so we can get issues fixed up as soon as possible.

This release lands fixes for all known show stoppers for RT 2.0.

Later this week, I’ll be releasing beta 3. Depending on response,
2.0.0 could hit your favorite FTP as early as two weeks from today.

Today I successfully imported our 2000+ ticket database into the RT2 test
setup I’ve got. It looks fine, but one minor oddity. If you look at the
default search for one of the queues, the “Told” field reports “31 years
ago” for all of the entries. :slight_smile: If I select a ticket, the “Last Contact”
field reports “Not set”, which I think maps to the same field. So it looks
like there may be two problems. One is that the last notified timestamp
isn’t being propagated, and the other is that the search table isn’t
handling the null result properly.

Is this expected behavior or a bug?
Thanks for a great tool!

held in person in their land and called “project meeting”.
