I think the text was inline, but anyway, here it is.

Features

* finer-grained control of what's displayed on ticket approval from Drew 
Taylor
* Kevin Murphy added support for the following config options
** SuppressInlineTextFiles
** DontSearchFileAttachments
* added support for marking RT's HTTP cookie as "secure", patch from Pavel 
Ruzicka
* Give Freeform form elements an id. This will be useful in combination 
with
   the EditComponentName callback. With a few local mods, date CFs will be 
able
   to use the date picker. Without an id the date picker doesn't work. 
Thanks
   to Todd Chapman
* Added the ability to search on TimeEstimated
* new method $User->WatchedQueues
* made LoadConfig a lot more vocal about why it can't read your config 
files
   and offer some hints and warnings about fixing it
* Savable charts
* Switch saved searches management to RT::SavedSearche(s) classes
* Global MyRT configuration interface, allow resetting MyRT
* Refactoring to add a method to just _send_ a MIME::Entity as email

Fixes

* CullRTAddresses in RT::Interface::Email was using reversed filter logic
* rt-mailgate without --action argument was failing
* fixed balancing of HTML tags, thanks to Erik Peterson
* we now sort chart results before displaying them, thanks to Petter
   Reinholdtsen
* added fix for "Search by requestor" appearing to break in 3.6.1, also,
   known as 'Requestor.EmailAddress' bug
* correct a hardcoded RT::WebPath in initialdata and upgrade scripts,
   the RT homepage no longer explodes if you upgrade from 3.4
* MIME::Entity was dropping non-standard headers
* on ticket creation safe entered dates when validation of custom fields
   fails

resolved

   an error when a user got a certain permission denied message
   [rt3.fsck.com #7852]
* Handle Apache::Session database errors a bit more gracefully
* POSIX::strftime on Solaris isn't robust enough to deal with our Date:
   header generation. Switched to Date::Format::strftime instead. As well
   fixes incorrect field on systems with not english locale. thanks to Tim 
Bishop
* Brian Gallew spotted that we have no tab for Tools -> My Day, so it's 
fix
   that brings new feature alive
* fixed a problem with setting value of custom fields with category during
   ticket creation [rt3.fsck.com #7903]
* fine tuned [Take] and [Steal] actions according to ACL, so users would 
be
   able to see this actions only when they have all required rights

Chandek-Stark
