The Internet, 2004-03-01

Greetings,

The phpMyAdmin development team is pleased to announce the availability of phpMyAdmin 2.5.6.

MySQL 4.1 / 5.0 Note:

phpMyAdmin's support for MySQL 4.1 / 5.0 is still experimental

Improvements:

* Display database collation * List collations of all tables * Pretty printing of charsets * Can now change the default database charset * Export now includes charset and collation info * Foreign key browse window: better sorting for key/value pairs; window is now resizable * Support for _charset syntax * Display the maximum size of uploads * Show MySQL version in SQL printview headers

Fixes:

* Security fix: possible attack against export.php * Column collations were not displayed in MySQL 5.0 * Character set "binary" was not correctly detected * Foreign key browse window: paging did not work * SHOW FIELDS problem * Changing a table's charset changed the charset of all fields (MYSQL >= 4.1.1) * Problem when SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS is in the query * Internal relations dropped when a field is dropped with the multi-submit mechanism * Wrong sort link for column aliases * Wrong row highlighting after "With selected: delete" * MySQL version check was sometimes done before connecting * (rc2) Wrong treatment for NULL default value of DATETIME field * (rc2) Parser: undefined variable * (rc2) Problem executing stored bookmarks * (rc2) Privileges: password not copied * (rc2) Undefined function message (pma_sqp_iserror) * (rc2) Undefined function message (mysql_get_client_info) * (rc2) Missing Arabic charset * (final) Wrong display for multiple queries * (final) Memory eater in sql parser * (final) Missing mysql_get_client_info() function
