[rt-announce] RT 2.0.9 - Chock full o' tickety goodness

[Jesse Vincent]

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of RT 2.0.9.  This 
release hast lots and lots of new goodies and bug fixes:

Installation:
	
	* RT now depends on DBIx::SearchBuilder 0.47

	* tools/insertdata: Fixed templates to include the ticket subject if 
	  it was otherwise blank

	* tools/cpan2rpm: Added cpan2rpm to the tools directory, for 
	  autogenerating rpms of CPAN modules	

	* Makefile, rt.spec: Added support for autobuilding an rpm with 
	  "make rpm"

	* Fixes to initacls.Pg to allow installation with Unix Domain sockets

	* tools/initdb: initdb won't whine if you don't set a host

	* Refactored images path to have a configurable URL, so it will work 
	  with fastcgi ;)

	* Lengthened queue name and email addresses in the default DB schema

	* etc/: config.pm, schema.Pg, schema.mysql, schema.pm: Added some new 
	  indices, based on recommendations from Nobel Tse at Outblaze


Core:

 	* Added support for unit testing

	* Started to cleanup config.pm to not use deprecated methods when 
	  displaying ticket columns.

	* lib/RT/Ticket.pm: Fix for #791: duplicated requestors on merge.

	* etc/config.pm, lib/RT/Handle.pm: Added support for postgres' 
	  connections-over-ssl

	* Abstracted out status enumeration and validation. Sites can now 
	  modify the set of statuses available. Though that's 100% unsupported.

	* Tickets which are created in a "resolved" state will now have their 
	  "resolved" date set right.

	* lib/RT/User.pm: Started work on "Email password to user"

	  pod2man

	  that a requestor is always a user, rather than an email address.

	* Template got new helper functions for loading queue and system 
	  templates.

	* Brought forward a security fix from 2.0.8_01.  
	  (nonusers could get superuser permissions from the CLI)

	* lib/RT/Ticket.pm: Fixed the "ticket status changes from 
	  open to open" bug, thanks to raphael at linkvest.

	* lib/RT/Tickets.pm: Refactored to provide better access to fields 
	  that tickets can be sorted on.

	* lib/RT/User.pm: a fix to allow you to create multiple users with no 
	  email address.

	  types
