RT4 is a major effort to update and modernize the RT codebase, making it easier to add new features and to customize existing features.

The major new features users should expect in RT 4.0.0 are a replacement for the Scrips system and a new ticket lifecycle engine.

Once released, the application will be known as "RT 4.0" or "Request Tracker 4.0"
