 - Alex Vandiver, for Best Practical

  * Much improved reporting via search result charting
      - Multiple group by and statistic calculations in a table
      - Time statistics such as average, minimum, and maximum durations
        between Created and Resolved, Created and Started, Started and
        Resolved, and more.
      - More robust layout of charts

  * Increased performance for searches and ticket pages
      - Faster searches on all databases (especially Pg)
      - Ticket pages load quicker
      - Menus load before the rest of the page is loaded
      - History is loaded asynchronously
      - Faster serving of static assets

  * Scrips per queue
      - Apply scrips globally or ad-hoc to individual queues, a la custom
        fields
      - Less duplication of scrips and/or need for empty templates

  * Custom field groupings
      - Display CFs in configurable groupings (boxes) on the ticket
        display/edit pages
      - Includes arbitrary grouping names as well as standard ticket
        groupings (Basics, Dates, People, Links, etc.)

  * User summary pages

      - Display information about users such as tickets, history, groups,
        etc.
      - An extended "More about requestors" page for any user
      - Easy to get to via links and user search

  * HTML templates enabled by default for new installs, available for
    upgrades too

  * History improvements
      - Rich text/HTML messages are preferred for display by default
      - Images are inlined with text in ticket history display instead of
        presented at bottom
      - Clickable users, tickets, articles, and other items

  * Many interface improvements, such as:
      - Per-user preferences for the dashboards which appear in the Home
        menu
      - Floating page menu for quicker access to ticket actions, subpages,
        etc.

      - Decrypt and verify incoming GPG and SMIME messages
      - Send all outgoing messages as either GPG or SMIME

  * Migration tools
      - Migrate from one database type to another (MySQL, Pg, Oracle)

  * Thousands of bug fixes; nearly 2000 commits totalling more than
    250,000 lines of code changed.

4.0.18:
This release is primarily a bugfix release; most notably, it addresses
compatibility issues with recent versions of the Encode perl module.
Notable changes include:

Email
 * Cope with Encode version 2.33 and later, which altered their internal
   functionality and caused RT to double-encode Subject lines in
   outgoing email.
 * Fix HTML rendering errors in dashboard emails.
 * Fix overzealous quoting around decoded MIME words.

Administration
 * In the rights UI, entering the name of a user or group which already
   has rights will now correctly select them for rights granting, as if
   their name had been selected.
 * Display types in the "applies to" dropdown for custom fields in
   consistent order
 * Paginate the Queues list in the administrative interface into 50
   results per page.
 * Support for cascading selections with a multiple-select parent.
 * Clarify that $ParseNewMessageForTicketCcs only applies to new, and
   not existing, tickets.
 * Clarify how an undefined $RTAddressRegexp is treated, and that it
   does not come at any notable performance penalty.

Logging
 * Fix verbosity of syslog messages; now only the 'debug' level includes
   originating filename and line.
 * Include process ID in log messages, for ease of isolation in a
   multi-process environment.
 * Log the From: address of incoming mail which triggered an error, for
   ease of debugging.

Other Bugfixes
 * Avoid linking trailing punctuation, or html tags, in URL anchors in
   MakeClicky
 * Fix the Quick Search (QueueSummary) portlet when non-lowercase statuses are 
used.
 * Show Date and DateTime custom fields in the user's format and time
   zone in search results.
 * Allow rt-email-group-admin to be passed an email address that RT is
   not already aware of.
 * Show submitted content from the user on errors in REST submission,
   for ease of re-editing and re-submission.
