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

Release:            OTRS Help Desk 3.1.0.beta3
Status:             beta

We are proud to announce that the third beta release of OTRS 3.1
has been released.

Important for Upgrading
=======================
* From OTRS 3.1.x: Make sure you run bin/otrs.RebuildConfig.pl
after the upgrade so that the configuration is refreshed.
Otherwise the system may not work.
WARNING: Please note that for upgrades from 3.1.0.beta1 or 3.1.0.beta2,
an additional database upgrade step is needed (see UPGRADING)!

* From OTRS 3.0.x: Please read the UPGRADING and INSTALL files
for detailed instructions.

New Features / Enhancements since beta1
=======================================
* Updated Japanese Translation, thanks to Kaoru Hayama!

* Improved language translation file layout for better usability for
translators.

* Added feature bug#7893 - Customer Info in TicketZoom can now also list
open tickets based on CustomerUserLogin rather than CustomerID, and can
list closed tickets as well.

* Changed the default behaviour of TicketGet() and ArticleGet() to NOT
return the dynamic field values for performance reasons. If you need
them, pass DynamicFields => 1.

* Removed compatibility modules AgentTicketMailbox and CustomerZoom
(these only performed redirects to newer screens).
