I'm proud to announce RT 2.0.5.  This release contains more churn than any 
release since before 2.0 beta 3 (that means it also contains the most cool new
stuff).  Folks have hammered on the test releases and it seems ready to go.  
As with any production software, I strongly encourage you to test RT 
thoroughly before deploying it.

This release cleans up a lot of UI and internals, fixes a couple small
bugs, fixes a condition that could cause a mail loop, adds some minor new 
features and, most importantly, adds support for attaching documents to tickets
via the web ui.  Now you can attach mp3s to tickets via the web ui 
and play them by clicking on them.

Changes since 2.0.4:

Core:
  Cleaned up the return values from Ticket->CreateLink. (always return 
    $status, $msg);

    message in the transaction.
  Added a convenience function to RT::Attachemnt to find Children of this 
    attachment.
  Added code to RT::Attachemnt to allow access to the 'Parent' attribute

  Added some docs to RT::Attachments

Documentation:
  Removed the old manual skeleton in docs in favor of the web based docs.

Mail sending:
  Changed the case of the Managed-by header to be less grating

Mail receipt:
  fix to properly grab 'from' addresses for purposes of determining 
    whether something's a mailer-daemon
  Fix for mailgateway being unable to send error mail with 
    'sendmailpipe' mailing  
  Moved a bunch of mail gateway library routines to the library 
    where they belong
  RT is now less likely to try to send mail to senders which 
    will cause loops  

CLI:
  CLI Added support for merging to the CLI
  Cli now works as described when linking tickets. Formerly, 
    you couldn't admit the "+" before an added link

Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as  
kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic  
pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.
