Cerberus Version 5 is coming along and I got a link to a video that is considered a rough draft but does show nicely how the new support center in Cerberus 5 is going to work.

It looks like API have been change a few examples of the update.

For those who don't know already Cerb5 will no longer have Yahoo YUI and will instead be using JQuery. This is going to make my life much easier at least for me. The code with the change has already been committed. Plug-in developers if you are using YUI be aware since you will need to replace that code with jquery based code before you can upgrade.

I have been following what has been released so far and all the changes so far have been one of 3 changes.

1) Upgrading internal library Smarty, Zend and a few other library.
2) Devblocks Constructors no long require the instantof or ,1 any more. I have never seen it used so that makes since removing that.

Attached is a Diff of the changes needed to make Cerberus 2.7 work with Mysql5.

Update: This patch is no longer needed. Cerberus offers version compatible to MySQL5 / Php5 in there SVN repo.

Adding additional template items to the template. There are a few places to edit.

Code from listeners.classes.php but both code is similar.

CerberusMail::sendTicketMessage(array(
'ticket_id' => $ticket->id,
'message_id' => $ticket->first_message_id,
'content' => str_replace(
array('#ticket_id#', '#mask#','#subject#','#timestamp#','#sender#','#sender_first#','#orig_body#'),
