[Rt-announce] RT 3.4.0rc1

[Jesse Vincent]

I'm pleased to announce the first release candidate of RT 3.4.0. This
release contains all functionality we expect to be present in RT 3.4.0
and has been tested by a number of beta testers and is now ready for
wider exposure in advance of its official release (which could be as
early as next week if feedback is positive.)

Please download RT 3.4.0rc1 from:

RT 3.4 represents significant improvement and stabilization of RT
relative to 3.2.0 and boasts a host of new features.  The largest
user-visible change is a completely rewritten custom fields system.
Custom fields can now be created for users, groups and ticket
transactions.  Additionally, we've now got "full text", "file upload"
and "image upload" custom fields. On top of that, you can now apply
custom fields to a set of queues (rather than just one-or-all, like RT
3.2).   On the inside, we've done a significant amount of work cleaning
up and restructuring RT's codebase. We've added a whole slew of new
tests and overhauled the test infrastructure. We've added a new
"developer mode" to RT, which allows you to modify RT's libraries on the
fly and have the webserver pick them up instantly. 

Oh. And we made it faster.
