RT 4.0.2 Released

I’m happy to announce that RT 4.0.2 is now available.

Continuing with our goal of faster release cycles and smaller changes
between releases in a stable series, this release primarily contains
fixes for a number of minor bugs. It also includes documentation
updates and removal of an inefficient javascript minification option.
Notable changes include:

  • Ability to reference global CFs by Name in RT::Action::CreateTickets

  • Installation of the docs/ directory into /opt/rt4/docs

  • Removal of the incomplete –binary flag option for the full-text
    search indexer

  • Fixes for a regression that caused group dashboards to vanish after
    creation and not appear in the list of dashboards

  • Rewritten forward functionality to generate mail that better
    represents the original messages received by RT

  • Removal of the pure Perl Javascript::Minifier module which slowed down
    the first request to new webserver children. jsmin or another
    external minifier is now required to minify RT’s javascript. Refer to
    the section about $JSMinPath in perldoc /opt/rt4/etc/RT_Config.pm
    for how to configure jsmin.

  1. Removing js minifier leads to awesome performance. Great!

    For the best performance, we suggest you configure RT to use jsmin, a C javascript minifier that’s very fast.

  3. Does this version support HA in an active-active scenario?

    Luis— Properly configured, RT has supported running multiple front ends against the same backend database for a while. One thing you’ll need to ensure is that sessions are stored in the database, not on disk.
