We are very excited to announce the general availability of RT 5.0.0. This release introduces a major update of the web UI as RT now uses the popular open source Bootstrap front-end toolkit. This brings to RT a modern, responsive layout with all of the power and familiar features of RT.

The Bootstrap update accounted for hundreds of commits and thousands of lines of code updates. We hope the update to a very popular web framework will make it even easier for users to create (and share!) new themes.
In addition to that major UI update, this release also contains many other big new features including a new charting library, a graphical lifecycle builder, and new web access for admins to update RT’s many configuration options. This new version of RT contains changes and improvements from over 1,500 git commits.
We have also added configuration to run RT’s 35,000+ tests using TravisCI, so you can now see our test runs from GitHub.
