This release is primarily a bugfix release; notable changes include:

Oracle:
  * Resolve numerous issues with the 4.0 -> 4.2 upgrade steps on Oracle
  * In-database sessions on Oracle are no longer truncated at 8k,
    leading to spurious logouts

Internet Explorer:
  * Fix submission issues under Internet Explorer

Rich text editor:
  * If returning to a reply/correspond page with the back button, the
    rich text editor will no longer double-escape previously written
    content.

REST:
  * Fix an empty 'text/plain' part when tickets are created using the
    REST interface.

Other bugfixes:
  * Optimize transaction display code to speed up long ticket displays
    by short-circuiting transaction custom field checking.

  * Display iCal dates in the user's timezone, resolving off-by-one
    errors for timezones significantly off from GMT.

    the Query Builder
