FIXES AND CLEANUPS

  • Indent cleanup.
  • doc updates for mysql upgrades from jmoseley
  • Tell explicitely that $DayBeforeMonth is only for parsing, not for displaying
    dates.
  • Remove blank Values since the magic field will take care of this. Sometimes
    the browser gives you a blank value which causes CFs to be processed twice
    Thanks to Philip Kime
  • better support situations when CF's LookupType is not complex,
    for example 'RT::Queue'. Thanks to Philip Kime and Emmanuel Lacour
  • Factor out a ShowParents template
  • Show the correct side of the link
  • RT/Config.pm
    minor pod changes
    delete empty functions
  • store extension name in META{Option}{Source}{Extension}
    instead of boolean value
  • Fix incorrect Queue->SetDisabled introduced in r17674.
  • Don't leave attachments in session after ProcessUpdateMessage to remove them
    from WebUI for next update.
  • Formatting cleanup (thanks to Richard Hartmann, closes: #12457)
  • Fix WebFallbackToInternalAuth (thanks to David Chandek-Stark, closes: #12478)
  • RT::Test sets ENV{RT_SITE_CONFIG} to a tempfile that doesn't
    look like SiteConfig.pm so we need to force _LoadConfig to
    treat it as a SiteConfig, otherwise it won't let you override
    DatabaseName or MailCommand and running tests will drop your
    real database.
  • use a little bit proper fix for site config thing
  • Reduce list of owners from SelectOwner in Search to queues the current user can
    see (or see tickets in).
  • Reduce the list of owners from SelectOwner in bulk update to queues where
    current user can create or modify tickets.
  • update ru.po
    reuse some loc strings that we have already
  • Revert commits that tried to fix the count of Owners displayed in Build.html/Bulk.html as it needs more discuss.

    the keyboard to move up and down in an autocompleted list

  • tiny html fix: an extra in Dashboards/Queries.html
  • make words consistent in Install pages
  • handle mails with nested inline signatures in old-style gpg format

    Hide transaction custom fields from users who can't edit them
  • quiet test warnings
  • if you say JOIN you need to say ON or Pg will bail
  • RT-Ticket: 13174
    There's a small typo in RT::Interface::Email that causes emails to be sent to
    the first To address only, ignoring the other recipients such as Cc.
    Requestors: [email protected]
  • When we open a div, we should close a div, not a span
  • Comboboxes weren't rendering properly on IE7. This appears to fix it

    make difference between large text and not text
    show additional information when displaying named texts is disabled
    loc strings have been changed
  • fix verifying of old style signed attachments: we must decode bodies first
  • do better job at detecting attachments with signatures for them in another MIME part
  • if we load all attachments then update %ARGS as we pass it through
  • don't show GPG status for top most record, we'll handle it per attachment
  • store status on the message by default on decrypt/verify and only on related parts
  • we have status on all parts
  • show gpg status per attachment
  • adjust tests
  • there is no $Config but RT->Config
  • move WebDomain and WebPort above WebPath, these
    three are only options you usually need to setup paths
    calculate scheme in WebBaseURL using WebPort value
    don't add port to WebBaseURL if it's standard
  • fix debug message
  • add new option --skip-user
    use over/item/back for options in pod so usage actually outputs them
  • Removed doc for a nonexistent option in testdeps
  • RT-Ticket: 13125
    exit with positive code on errors, not all errors are handled,
    but this is beginning
  • update es.po, thanks to Margarita Manterola
  • not sure why, but on some systems without explicit status change mason doesn't
    set status to 302, but 200 instead and people see blank pages

  • wrap things we usually do with operations into a method
  • fix searches by CFs

  • Log::Dispatch 2.22 began implicitly requiring Sys::Syslog 0.16
    If you're installing on a RH box, you probably only have Sys::Syslog 0.13
  • Take care of RT-Attach-Message value so we don't add attachments if the value
    is "no" for example (closes: #13259).
    Thanks to Paul Vlaar.
  • Add checks for user email address syntax, and cover bad syntaxes by tests
    (closes: #12726).
    Reported by Richard Hartmann.
  • Don't assume that people were using "yes" for RT-Attach-Message until now,
    rather don't attach if it's set to n|no|0|off|false.
  • Make syntax check of user email addresses configurable with a default of "no"
    to avoid breaking existing setups.

    to avoid warnings about calling exit(undef)

  • fix UseSQLForACLChecks: if user is direct watcher of a queue,
    however right is granted to global role then he didn't get that
    permission there is no global watchers, only queues and tickes, if at
    some point we will add global roles then it's gonna blow
    the idea here is that if the right is set globaly for a role
    and user plays this role for a queue directly not a ticket
    then we have to check in advance
  • better recovery for corrupt owner groups on ticket owner change
  • minor bin/rt doc fixes

    column changes and save one more copy of data.
