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

Release: OTRS Help Desk 3.0.8
Status: stable

We are proud to announce that the latest patch level release of OTRS
3.0 (codename: Cancún Beach, México) has been released.

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.

* Updated Brasilian Portugese translation, thanks to Murilo Moreira de
Oliveira!
