[Shawn Beasley <shawn.beasley AT otrs.com>]

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Release Note ++++++++++++++++++++++++

Release:            OTRS Help Desk 3.0.6

Status:             stable

IMPORTANT FOR UPGRADING
=======================

* From OTRS 3.0.x: Make sure you run =bin/otrs.RebuildConfig.pl= after
the upgrade so that the configuration is refreshed. Otherwise the
system may not work.

* From OTRS 2.4.x: Please read the UPGRADING and INSTALL files for
detailed instructions.

WARNING
=======

OTRS versions from 3.0.beta1 up to 3.0.2 were affected by a bug in the
GenericAgent which could cause the "Ticket Delete" flag to be active
by default for new GenericAgent jobs, depending on the locale. If you
used one of the affected versions and have created new GenericAgent
jobs with them, please review them to check if the "Ticket Delete"
flag indeed has the correct value. Otherwise unwanted data loss might
occur.

SUPPORTED ENCODINGS
===================

* The default internal character set of OTRS was changed to UTF-8.
Please see the UPGRADING file if you upgrade from an older version of
OTRS for any implications this may have for you.

* We recommend to change existing non-UTF-8 installations of OTRS to
UTF-8 with the upgrade to 3.0.

* All other encodings are now deprecated.

* OTRS 3.1 will only allow UTF-8 as internal character set.

BROWSER SUPPORT FOR THE AGENT INTERFACE

* JavaScript is required to use the agent interface.

These browsers are not supported:

* Microsoft Internet Explorer before version 7

* Firefox before version 3

* All versions of Netscape
