FIXES AND CLEANUPS
==================
* Indent cleanup.
* doc updates for mysql upgrades from jmoseley
* Tell explicitely that $DayBeforeMonth is only for parsing, not for displaying
dates.
* Remove blank Values since the magic field will take care of this. Sometimes
the browser gives you a blank value which causes CFs to be processed twice
Thanks to Philip Kime
* better support situations when CF's LookupType is not complex,
for example 'RT::Queue'. Thanks to Philip Kime and Emmanuel Lacour
* Factor out a ShowParents template
* Show the correct side of the link
* RT/Config.pm
minor pod changes
delete empty functions
* store extension name in META{Option}{Source}{Extension}
instead of boolean value

* Don't leave attachments in session after ProcessUpdateMessage to remove them
from WebUI for next update.
* Formatting cleanup (thanks to Richard Hartmann, closes: #12457)
* Fix WebFallbackToInternalAuth (thanks to David Chandek-Stark, closes: #12478)
* RT::Test sets ENV{RT_SITE_CONFIG} to a tempfile that doesn't
look like SiteConfig.pm so we need to force _LoadConfig to
treat it as a SiteConfig, otherwise it won't let you override
DatabaseName or MailCommand and running tests will drop your
real database.
* use a little bit proper fix for site config thing
* Reduce list of owners from SelectOwner in Search to queues the current user can
see (or see tickets in).
* Reduce the list of owners from SelectOwner in bulk update to queues where
current user can create or modify tickets.
* update ru.po
reuse some loc strings that we have already
* Revert commits that tried to fix the count of Owners displayed in
Build.html/Bulk.html as it needs more discuss.
* in RT we use [_1] instead of %1
* use WebPath when invoking the Autocompleter
* upgrade scriptaculous from 1.8.0 to 1.8.2
upgrade prototype from 1.6.0 to 1.6.0.3
mainly bugfixes and browser compatibility nits

the keyboard to move up and down in an autocompleted list
* fix reporting by owner, created by and last updated by
* tiny html fix: an extra </form> in Dashboards/Queries.html
* make words consistent in Install pages
* handle mails with nested inline signatures in old-style gpg format
* Correct test count for gnupg-reverification
* Rename schema.mysql to schema.mysql-4.0 to avoid confusion without reading
Handle.pm (closes: #12665)

* add tests for validator
* schema.mysql was renamed
* use RT->Config instead of direct option variable access
* {Add,Del}Watcher references principals as a group can be added as watchers
* fix checking and recovering CGMs
* Grammar nit
* RT-Ticket: 13047
Hide transaction custom fields from users who can't edit them
* quiet test warnings
* if you say JOIN you need to say ON or Pg will bail
* RT-Ticket: 13174
There's a small typo in RT::Interface::Email that causes emails to be sent to
the first To address only, ignoring the other recipients such as Cc.
Requestors: eynat.nirmishor at algosec.com
* When we open a div, we should close a div, not a span
* Comboboxes weren't rendering properly on IE7. This appears to fix it
* LoadByValues returns detailed message on errors
* don't check right in GrantRight as ACE->Create does better job
* Pg 8.3 requires explicit casting of date types to text
for substring and other functions
* Don't rewrite sub language name in preference if the variant is already
enclosed by parenthesis.
* post check only when we're not in install mode
* localize $@ as we don't rethrow it
* on some systems gpg --version exits with code 2 even when it's 100% functional

in the middle of a string instead of the beginning

make difference between large text and not text
show additional information when displaying named texts is disabled
loc strings have been changed

* if we load all attachments then update %ARGS as we pass it through
* don't show GPG status for top most record, we'll handle it per attachment
* store status on the message by default on decrypt/verify and only on related parts
* we have status on all parts
* show gpg status per attachment
* adjust tests
* there is no $Config but RT->Config
* move WebDomain and WebPort above WebPath, these
three are only options you usually need to setup paths
calculate scheme in WebBaseURL using WebPort value
don't add port to WebBaseURL if it's standard
* fix debug message
* add new option --skip-user
use over/item/back for options in pod so usage actually outputs them
* Removed doc for a nonexistent option in testdeps
* RT-Ticket: 13125
exit with positive code on errors, not all errors are handled,
but this is beginning
* update es.po, thanks to Margarita Manterola
* not sure why, but on some systems without explicit status change mason doesn't
set status to 302, but 200 instead and people see blank pages
* Set a default text color (closes: #13197)
* Add a test for the "On Reject" scrip condition (closes: #13181)
* add a bunch of tests, searches by CFs
* LoadByNameAndQueue should treat numbers the same way other methods do
* treat number specially in _CustomFieldDecipher, the way we treat it other places around
* wrap things we usually do with operations into a method
* fix searches by CFs
* Give verbose output when --debug is specified
* Log::Dispatch 2.22 began implicitly requiring Sys::Syslog 0.16
If you're installing on a RH box, you probably only have Sys::Syslog 0.13
* Take care of RT-Attach-Message value so we don't add attachments if the value
is "no" for example (closes: #13259).
Thanks to Paul Vlaar.
* Add checks for user email address syntax, and cover bad syntaxes by tests
(closes: #12726).
Reported by Richard Hartmann.
* Don't assume that people were using "yes" for RT-Attach-Message until now,
rather don't attach if it's set to n|no|0|off|false.
* Make syntax check of user email addresses configurable with a default of "no"
to avoid breaking existing setups.

assume a Queue Subject Tag is a remote RT's subject tag
* Localize system groups

* remove an obsolete comment
* Test ticket creation with REST using non ascii subject.
* return 0 in a bunch of places so we exit with 0 rather than
having warnings when we exit(undef)

to avoid warnings about calling exit(undef)

* use tmp dir as mason data_dir in rt-email-dashboards
* notify action with argument equal to 'All' sends notifications
to owner as well, let's clear descriptions
* Linkify the dashboard portlet header
* Mason whines about getting an object argument; it won't stringify
* Set default DBA based on databvase type
* fix UseSQLForACLChecks: if user is direct watcher of a queue,
however right is granted to global role then he didn't get that
permission there is no global watchers, only queues and tickes, if at
some point we will add global roles then it's gonna blow
the idea here is that if the right is set globaly for a role
and user plays this role for a queue directly not a ticket
then we have to check in advance
* better recovery for corrupt owner groups on ticket owner change
* minor bin/rt doc fixes
* check ordering of custom fields

so as to not include midnight
* we can get away with combining the DEFAULT CHARSET alter table statement with the
column changes and save one more copy of data.

(example: Admin/Global/Scrips.html vs Admin/Global/UserRights.html)
* Small fix for long transactions descriptions in ticket history.

Works for Ie7/Firefox2/Firefox3/Safari. For Ie6, we set a fixed maximum of
400px.
* Use float instead of absolute css for quick-personal.
* Remove "Search" button and replace it by grey text in text input field to save
space in topactions.

to see the description when the cursor is other the option :)

* Fix downloadattachment overlapping with messagebody in ticket history (closes: #13316).
* the overflow: auto causes things to get wrapped far short of where they should, resulting in insane display
