FEATURES
========

 * refactor validation of transactions CFs on ticket update
 * Add a systemwide plugin directory at the request of the Debian RT maintainers
 * Fold hardcoded SelfService search format into a config option
 * make people can update saved chart search easily
 * we should try to decode uploaded template for offline
