RT 5.0.3 beta 1 release notes

Below is the link to the beta release. There are two notable changes in this release (also noted in the UPGRADING notes):

  • A bug with the Mason cache introduced in 5.0.2 is fixed. This mostly impacted RTIR users, but could show up with broken links in other cases also. We would like confirmation that the fix works for users who had issues.

  • Bind parameters for database queries are now used for all queries. This requires updating the module DBIx::SearchBuilder to version 1.70 or later. This should help performance for all databases, but should have the biggest improvements on Oracle.

We appreciate your help testing out these new releases. As with previous releases, you can report any issues in our public RT instance or post here for discussion.
