Database Changes
+ For MySQL and MariaDB, the default character set has been updated to
utf8mb4 to accommodate more unicode characters including emojis.
See README.MySQL and README.MariaDB for details.
+ The Id field in some tables is changed from INT to BIGINT to accommodate
large RT systems that may hit the maximum number of ids. Because this
change touches large RT tables like Transactions and Attachments,
this upgrade step may take a while to run.
+ You also will need free disk space equal to the size of these tables
while running because MySQL, MariaDB, and Postgres will create a temporary
copy of the table while running. If you don't have sufficient space,
it can cause this step to fail.
Notable Changes
+ System configuration options can now be changed by SuperUsers via the
web UI. File-based configuration options are still loaded. Changes made
via the web UI take precedence over file-based options if both are set.
+ If you prefer to keep all configuration in files and disable editing in
the web UI, set this option to 0:
Set($ShowEditSystemConfig, 0);
+ The variables which alter the set of HTML elements allowed in HTML
scrubbing have moved; they have been renamed, and are now found under
RT::Interface::Web::Scrubber.
+ The articles interface on tickets has been simplified, now showing only
a dropdown for selecting articles. This dropdown converts to an autocomplete
box when the dropdown contains more than $DropdownMenuLimit items.
+ With this simplified interface, the "hotlist" feature is no longer
needed as all articles in classes applied to a given queue are available
in the dropdown/autocomplete field. To prevent articles in a class from
appearing for a queue, you can unapply the class from that queue.
