This release contains a number of bugfixes since the 4.0.7 release.

Bugfixes

  • Custom Fields BasedOn can be set from intialdata again.
  • Fix the 3.8.4 NotifyGroup upgrade script to properly join notification
    groups with a comma.
  • Correct the use of the ‘approved’ state from Lifecycles. It is now
    used only when all approvals are completed.
  • Use database-level row locking to ensure that scrips do not suffer
    from race conditions with scrips from other processes.
  • Remove multiple slashes so that page menus display and the active item
    is correctly highlighted.
  • Improve MaxAttachmentSize documentation.
  • Ensure that ticket links in the iCal feed are CSRF whitelisted.

Features

  • New alias validator sbin/rt-validate-aliases which helps keep RT and
    /etc/aliases in sync.
  • Add support for GPG mails in inline format (PGP partitioned encoding)
    that are also encoded for transfer with Base64 or quoted printable.
  • Add a BeforeLocalization callback to message headers.
  • If you have DBIx::SearchBuilder 1.62 or higher and are using full
    text indexing on Pg or Oracle, rt-fulltext-indexer uses a faster query
    to find unindexed attachments.

Developer

  • Add rt-apache for running a test instance of apache.
  • Add the rt-static-docs tool for generating HTML versions of our docs.

As RC1 is out and so it’s to late for 4.0.8 can you please make sure
that 4.0/plugin-overlays gets merged into trunk to make plugins work as
expected.

Thanks!

I believe claiming that plugins don’t work is a bit overdramatic.
As I understand it, User_Local.pm or User_Vendor.pm from plugins don’t
work, but you can still use other Local/Vendor files.

As well, declaring package RT::User; in your Extension.pm works.

While this branch should certainly be merged, I believe your
description of the criticality is overstated.
