RT 3.6.6 now available

I'm pleased to announce the release of RT 3.6.6, the latest update to the RT 3.6 stable series. This version is a recommended upgrade for any site running RT in production. Its changes focus on user-visible performance improvements and includes a fix for some causes of the dreaded "repeated login" bug.

Do note that this release of RT adds a dependency on CSS::Squish to help improve display performance. As a reminder, you should always "make testdeps" before installing a new release of RT.
