Rt 3.2.1 changelog

In the announcement for rt-3.2.1 the change log had the following
items:

<cut 1>

3.2.1 CHANGELOG

Installation

  • By default, use verbose mode for reporting missing modules.
  • Added a note about the fact that you’ll be happier if you blow away
    your old RT instance.
  • Explicitly require InnoDB if using MySQL (#5799)
  • RT now advises users about how to set the DBA and DBA Password when
    upgrading (#5815)
  • rt-test-dependencies now only tells you which modules are not
    present or up-to-date, unless you specify the -v (–verbose) flag on
    the command line. (#5690)
    </cut 1>

Could someone more knowledgeable with RT comment/elaborate on item #2
above for me?

Secondly, there were also the following items:

<cut 2>
Internals:

  • RT now stores sent messages in the database as utf-8.
  • “Negative” Ticket searches (for all tickets which don’t have a
    certain custom field value) now find tickets which have no custom
    field value for that ticket.
  • Custom Field searches should now work better with non-ascii
    custom field names. (Needs user verification)
  • Fixed webmux.pl to not pass xml files through (xml’s content-type is
    application/xml not text/xml)

</cut 2>

Item 1 under “Internals” says that RT now stores sent messages in the db
in utf-8 format. My question is, how does it store received messages?

Thank you.

    cheers

We’ve been finding that Mason does not properly refresh its cache. More
specifically, /Elements/Tabs has been left pointing to the old
/Search/Listing.html not the new query builder interface. Since the update
make target doesn’t delete outdated files, the link is still valid.
