RT 3.4.3 Release notes:  (r2832-r3466 (HEAD))






Core

Fixed a bunch of typos.

Improved API documentation.

Refactored code for efficiency and sanity.

Updated dependencies to require XML::RSS 1.05, which properly encodes its output

Queue name case changes no longer generate a "Name Conflict" error

Fixed data loss issue with recursive CreateTickets calls

Added a new "top of page" callback
 
RT-Ticket: 6459   Updated the _AddLink return values from Todd Chapman.

RT-Ticket: 6713   Added Text::WikiFormat as a dependency

Added a list of missing modules to the end of 'make testdeps'

RT-Ticket: 6748   Added fallback to $LOGNAME if $USER isn't defined for 
--with-my-user-group

Search
------

RT-Ticket: 6568
Made a simple fix to Query Builder to prevent a crash in situations involving
the creation of AND/ORs with no children. A fix that treats the cause and not 
the symptom is planned.  Currently, it may sometimes do "unexpected things"
with your ADD, but it is at least in a state that the user can recover from.
 
Specifically, for Danial's it works as expected; for Tim's example, it gives an 
incorrect error message (in the context of the QB page, not a Mason crash thing)
but the select box is in a good state.

RT-Ticket: 6741   Sort order is now preserved for the "in memory" saved search, 
courtesy of Phil Homewood.

Added parentheses to the clauses select list, in Query Builder.

RT-Ticket: 6568   Added code to prune childless ANDs and ORs.  Also got rid 
of 'Clear'.

in.)  Patch by Ruslan Zakirov.
