This release is primarily a security release; it addresses
CVE-2014-7227, a vulnerability in RT's SMIME integration enabled by
CVE-2015-6271 and related vulnerabilities, known as "Shellshock."
Systems which have patched bash are not vulnerable to CVE-2014-7227.

It also addresses a minor error in the 4.2.7 upgrade step on Oracle; for
Oracle users who had already upgraded to 4.2.7, the 4.2.8 upgrade step
properly runs the same alteration. There is no database change for
non-Oracle installs.


General user UI
* Properly hide ticket list when MoreAboutRequestorTicketList is set to
"None"

* Updated German, Basque, French, Hungarian, and Russian translations.

* Stop calling the deprecated _SQLLimit method when limiting by

in System Configuration (#30417)
* Resolve CVE-2014-7227, arbitrary execution of code by privileged
users via SMIME by way of CVE-2015-6271.

Developer
* Add a ModifyMaxResults callback for Autocomplete endpoints
* Properly pass collection class to ColumnMap in /Elements/TSVExport
