- MD5 (otrs-7.3-0.5-BETA7.i386.rpm) 1561993893aebff003bd84ba335b3992
The following changes have been made:
- improved screen session management (next screen, last screen) added back
buttons
- improved ticket and article lib funktions (Kernel::System::Ticket::* and
Kernel::System::Article)
- improved fulltext search
- added time accounting for tickets (added new database table - time_accounting!
use scripts/DBUpdate.(mysql|postgresql).sql for database updates!)
- added notify feature for ticket lock timeout by system
- added user preferences item email (so login and email can be different)
- added "Std. Response on creating a queue" feature
(http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs/2002-July/000114.html)
- added module support for auth. (Kernel/Config.pm --> $Self->{AuthModule})
* "Kernel::System::Auth::DB" against OpenTRS DB (default)
* "Kernel::System::Auth::LDAP" against a LDAP directory
- added "ChangeOwnerToEveryone" feature fot AgentOwner (useful for ASP)
Kernel/Config.pm -> $Self->{ChangeOwnerToEveryone} = [0|1]
- added AgentCustomer module (set a customer id to a ticket and get a customer
history)
- added a GenericAgent.pl! This program can do some generic actions on tickets
(like SetLock, MoveTicket, AddNote, SetOwner and SetState). It was developed
to close (automatically via cron job) ticket in a specific queue, e. g. all
tickets in the queue 'spam'. (Thanks to Gay Gilmore for the idea)
- added a simple webform (scripts/webform.pl) to generate emails with X-OTRS-Header
to dispatch it with procmail (used for feedback forms)
- added content_type col. to article table to handle differen charsets correctly
(use script/DBUpdate.(mysql|postgresql).sql to upgrate existing databases).
- added generic session storage management (Kernel/Config.pm --> $Self->{SessionModule})
* "Kernel::System::AuthSession::DB" (default) --> db storage
* "Kernel::System::AuthSession::FS" --> filesystem storage
* "Kernel::System::AuthSession::IPC" --> ram storage
- added http cookie support for session management - it's more comfortable to
send links -==> if you have a valid session, you don't have to login again -
If the client browser disabled html cookies, otrs will work as usual, append
SessionID to links! (Kernel/Config.pm --> $Self->{SessionUseCookie})
- added generic ticket number generator (Kernel/Config.pm --> $Self->{TicketNumberGenerator})
* "Kernel::System::Ticket::Number::AutoIncrement" (default) --> auto increment
ticket numbers "SystemID.Counter" like 1010138 and 1010139.
* "Kernel::System::Ticket::Number::Date" --> ticket numbers with date
"Year.Month.Day.SystemID.Counter" like 200206231010138 and 200206231010139.
* "Kernel::System::Ticket::Number::DateChecksum" --> ticket numbers with date and
check sum and the counter will be rotated daily like 2002070110101520 and 2002070110101535.
* "Kernel::System::Ticket::Number::Random" --> random ticket numbers "SystemID.Random"
like 100057866352 and 103745394596.
