request-tracker4 (4.4.7+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=high The release announcement for this release includes this statement from upstream: At this point, the 4.4 series is very much in maintenance mode and receiving only important bug fixes. We are not announcing the end of life yet, but if you are still running version 4.4, you should start working on your plans to upgrade to RT 5. Plus you'll get a bunch of new features! For RT 5 please look at the request-tracker5 and rt5-* packages. It is strongly recommended that you ensure that .../REST/1.0/NoAuth is only accessible for host(s) that run rt-mailgate for submitting email to RT. This is often the system which has request-tracker4 installed. The sample configurations supplied by these packages for Apache2 and Nginx restrict access to localhost only. This release introduces support for MySQL 8. -- Andrew Ruthven Sat, 28 Oct 2023 14:02:16 +1300 request-tracker4 (4.4.6+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=high This version of RT includes database index changes. If you are using a dbconfig-managed database, you will be offered the choice of applying this automatically; if not, please apply them separately using something like: rt-setup-database-4 --action upgrade --upgrade-from 4.4.5 \ --upgrade-to 4.4.6 A bug with the Mason cache introduced in 4.4.5 is fixed. This mostly impacted RTIR users, but could show up with broken links in other cases also. -- Andrew Ruthven Fri, 24 Jun 2022 14:32:38 +1200 request-tracker4 (4.4.5+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium This version of RT includes a database content upgrade.

If you want to stay with GnuPG v1 then you will need to add something like the following to a file in /etc/request-tracker4/RT_SiteConfig.d: Set(%GnuPG, GnuPG => 'gpg1'); And make sure that the gnupg1 package is installed. -- Andrew Ruthven Mon, 01 Feb 2021 20:15:21 +1300 request-tracker4 (4.4.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium RT now has the functionality from RT::Extension::AdminConditionsAndActions built in.

This version of RT incorporates several plugins, which should be removed from the system if installed locally to prevent conflicts: - RT::Authen::ExternalAuth - RT::Extension::LDAPImport - RT::Extension::Assets - RT::Extension::SLA - RT::Extension::ExternalStorage - RT::Extension::ParentTimeWorked - RT::Extension::AddAttachmentsFromTransactions - RT::Extension::SpawnLinkedTicketInQueue - RT::Extension::FutureMailgate Please see /usr/share/doc/request-tracker4/UPGRADING-4.4.gz for additional steps which might be required when migrating from one of these extensions to RT 4.4.

Since RT 4.4, configuration snippets in /etc/request-tracker4/RT_SiteConfig.d are read by RT itself if named with the .pm extension. The post-install script will rename files managed by the package accordingly, but other files will need to be manually renamed by the administrator. The update-rt-sitconfig script is now obsolete and has been removed. -- Dominic Hargreaves Mon, 02 Jan 2017 17:37:08 +0000 request-tracker4 (4.2.11-1) unstable; urgency=medium This version of RT includes a database content upgrade.

Both changes improve lookup speed. For improved search performance, you may wish to drop existing tsvector and GIN indexes on Attachments, and re-generate the index using rt-setup-fulltext-index. -- Dominic Hargreaves Mon, 04 May 2015 18:23:45 +0100 request-tracker4 (4.2.10-1) experimental; urgency=medium This version of RT includes a database content upgrade.

The GPG data are moved automatically to the new location by the postinst, but other data, such as Sphinx indexes, are not. It is recommended that you check /var/cache/request-tracker4 for other data which should live elsewhere, move them to /var/lib/request-tracker4, and update configuration files (such as the Sphinx configuration generated by rt-setup-fulltext-index) manually. However /var/cache/request-tracker4/mason_data and /var/cache/request-tracker4/session_data should not be moved. -- Dominic Hargreaves Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:42:02 +0000 request-tracker4 (4.0.6-1) unstable; urgency=low The web-based query builder now uses Queue limits to restrict the set of displayed statuses and owners.

If you are affected please look at the new configuration variables $RestrictReferrer and @ReferrerWhitelist.

If you are using a dbconfig-managed database, you will be offered the choice of applying these automatically; if not, please apply them separately using something like: rt-setup-database-4 --action schema --datafile /usr/share/request-tracker4/etc/upgrade/4.0.6/schema.mysql --skip-create rt-setup-database-4 --action insert --datafile /usr/share/request-tracker4/etc/upgrade/4.0.6/content --skip-create -- Dominic Hargreaves Sun, 27 May 2012 17:28:19 +0100 request-tracker4 (4.0.1~rc1-1) experimental; urgency=low This new version of RT includes RTFM, which was previously packaged as an extension. This version of the RT4 package, does not include any automated database upgrade/migration from RT3.8. This may appear in the future.
