 * Remove CSS3PIE, which simply added rounded corners on IE7 and IE8, as
   it was causing numerous crashes of IE.
 * Show the current status in the status dropdown during ticket update,
   to allow forced setting of the status.  This functionality was
   available in RT 3.8, and is now being reinstated.
 * Use SearchBuilder queue limits to restrict what statuses and owners
   are displayed in drop-downs.
 * Make "New Ticket" a top-level SelfService menu item.
 * Display Lifecycle column correctly in queue admin lists.
 * Allow >64k attributes on MySQL; this is particularly useful for
   logos uploaded via the theming editor.
 * Remove two dependencies from the RT mailgate.
 * Adding new arbitrary links to tickets now works as expected in the
   REST interface.
 * Subject: lines in Forward Ticket templates are now respected.
 * Sort ticket link numbers numerically, not alphabetically.
 * Ticket reminders are no longer copied when creating a linked ticket;
   article and http:// links now are, however.
 * Use relative links (with no hostname) more consistently.
 * Correctly deal with non-ASCII attachment filenames which make use of
   MIME parameter value continuations.
 * Find queue-level CFs first in REST interface when there are
   duplicates by name.
 * Fix graphing of searches which reference Updated and other
   transaction-based limits.
 * Reminder statuses on open and resolve are now configurable
   per-lifecycle.
 * Fix quoting of CF names containing dashes and the like in the
   SearchBuilder.
 * Bump URI dependency to ensure utf8 URLs are correclty generated in
   Dashboard emails.
 * Permit <bdo> and language attributes when scrubbing HTML.
