RT 3.8 beta 2 now available

We've integrated about 350 changes to RT in the last two months as
part of the big push toward RT 3.8.0. Many of those changes were made
to integrate features Best Practical has built or prototyped for
clients over the past several years. Below, please find the high-level
changelog for the differences between RT 3.7.81 and RT 3.7.85 (Beta 1
and Beta 2).

At this point, the known remaining work is mostly related to polishing
the new web-based installation mechanism and cleaning up small issues
as they're reported.

RT 3.7.85 is NOT RECOMMENDED for production use, however we strongly
urge you to deploy it in your testing environment and provide feedback
to help ensure that RT 3.8.0 is released soon and does what you need
when we release it.

Best,
Jesse

Major new features:
* Designed a new default RT 3.8 visual style
* Added support for Rich text / HTML mail composition within RT
* Added support for batched email 'digests' (Weekly or daily)
as well as the ability for a user disable mail him or herself
* Added the ability for users to build multiple custom 'dashboards'
out of saved searches, saved graphs and saved charts and to mail
those dashboards as reports on a regular basis.
* Added a new, friendlier web-based installation system.
* Added a Graphviz based visualization of ticket relationships
* Added simple buttons to create new related tickets
* Added simple 'bookmarks'/'favorites' support for tickets
* Added the Ability to subscribe to iCalendar feeds of ticket
start/due
dates in Google Calendar / iCal.app
* Integrated "BrandedQueues" RT extension. Let you specify a
different
subject token per queue
* Integrated RT::Action::ExtractSubjectTag to better support
conversations
between multiple ticketing systems
* Integrated RT::Action::LinearEscalate
* Integrated RT::Action::NotifyGroup

Minor new features:
* EmailInput refactoring, for possible later autocompleter
* Clean up prototype/scriptaculous files
* more cleanups on mysql schema vs. charsets, update upgrade
script as well
* Allow "mailto:" links as nav menu items
* Adding a PreForking variant of our Standalone webserver.
(currently disabled)
* Applied a patch from Brian Nelson to add better display of
"large text"
custom fields.
* The "CreateTicket" widget now supports ticket bodies
* Added Dean Edwards "IE7.js" to make it easier to write cross-
browser styles
* Finally killed code duplicated between RT::EmailParser and
RT::InterfaceEmail

Did this feature actually make it into 3.8? I haven't found reference to
it in the changelogs.

Jesse,

It seg faults for me on a dev box, RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 with Perl
5.10.0. This box was successfully running 3.6.6 with no issues and
only had a few dependencies which needed upgrading to pass a 3.7.85
'make testdeps'.

It dies in HTML::Mason::Request::alter_superclass(), called from
RT::Interface::Web::Request.

HTML::Mason v1.39
CGI v3.37

I'm also getting this error in the log:
[Sun May 18 05:43:40 2008] [warning]: Use of uninitialized value
$method in string ne at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/HTML/
Mason/Utils.pm line 40. (/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/HTML/
Mason/Utils.pm:40)

Any ideas?

Regards,
Tom

When you install HTML::Mason, does it run and pass all its tests?

Yes, all except live tests and CHI. If it was an issue with
HTML::Mason I'd expect 15-subclass.t to fail (as it calls the same
alter_superclass method).

To follow up my own email, this does seem like a HTML::Mason bug as I
can reproduce the SIGSEGV on two machines running perl 5.10.0 and
HTML::Mason 1.39 with the following test script, yet it runs fine on
perl 5.8.8 + HTML::Mason 1.39.

package TestRequest;
use strict;
use warnings;

use base 'HTML::Mason::Request';
use HTML::Mason::CGIHandler;

sub foo {
my $class = shift;
$class->alter_superclass( 'HTML::Mason::Request::CGI' );
$class->SUPER::new(@_);
}

package main;
my $bar = TestRequest->foo();

I think this has been fixed in RC1 jesse released several days ago.
