RT 3.0.4 is available for download

I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of RT 3.0.4.

This release includes significant performance improvements for both MySQL
and PostgreSQL. Additionally it includes new support for packages which
extend RT. The upcoming release of RTFM 2.0 requires this new support.
Display of relationships between tickets and transactions which alter
them has been overhauled to be simpler and clearer.

We’ve included a number of UTF-8 fixes which improve the mail gateway’s
support for nested MIME email messages. There has been a report that
this fix can scramble UTF-8 characters in the subjects of comments and
replies to certain tickets.

With this release, we’re officially deprecating perl 5.6.1 and Mysql
3.23.x. Both have proven themselves to be unsuitable as infrastructure for
a stable RT 3.0 installation. Within the next 3 months, we’ll officially
drop support for them.

And of course, there’s the usual set of minor cleanups and improvements.

A full changelog follows.

Best,
Jesse Vincent

This version seems to have cleaned up all of the weird perlish utf8
problems I had on importing my rt2 database to rt3, but I’m still
getting one other error:

[Mon Jul 14 20:57:05 2003] [crit]: Failed to create user : Must specify
‘Name’ attribute (/opt/rt3/lib/RT/User_Overlay.pm:595)
[Mon Jul 14 20:57:05 2003] [error]: Could not load create a user with
the email address ‘’ to add as a watcher for ticket 102
(/opt/rt3/lib/RT/Ticket_Overlay.pm:1438)

I assume RT3 is more picky about user-creation than RT2 was. How would
I go about munging my data so it doesn’t skip these? I’m fine with
making them some kind of generic “unknown” user or something like that
until I can massage the database…
