Any estimates on when a 4.x compatible release may surface?

Hi Ruslan,

We’re working on that:

You can watch TODO file that kept up to date. It’s not final list as I
step on some things all the time during cage cleaning.

There are a lot of things we would like to bring up to speed with RT.
During development of RT 3.8 and 4.0 series, a lot of new nice
features were added. RTIR has tickets’ view duplicated, so all these
new features should be ported over.

We’ve almost ported RTIR over Lifecycles and it’s major cleanup of
RTIR code and database. Brings a lot of flexibility in usage and code
is much simpler. No more State custom field. There are a few hardcoded
statuses in the code left, but I’m working on cleaning all that.

I believe we can release a first RC in a month, but can not promise that.
