This release contains many bug fixes and<br>
several new features including the work done by our Google Summer of<br>
Code (GSoC) students, and is the first release since the hiring of a<br>
full-time developer. Read on for more information or skip directly to<br>
the download at <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files" target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files</a> or<br>
always read the complete list of changes by referring to the<br>
changelog.php or ChangeLog files, included with this release.<br>
<br>
First, some information on our featured GSoC projects:<br>
<br>
Smita Kumari worked on two structure tools,<br>
1) “a feature that enables a user to maintain a central list of columns<br>
per database to avoid similar name for the same data element and bring<br>
consistency of datatype for the same data element.”<br>
<br>
2) Automated normalization is known as "Improve table structure" within<br>
phpMyAdmin. It helps to bring the table structure upto Third Normal<br>
Form. A wizard is presented to user which asks questions about the<br>
elements during the various steps for normalization and a new structure<br>
is proposed accordingly to bring the table optionally into the<br>
First/Second/Third Normal form.<br>
<br>
Edward Cheng implemented a component which provides easy access to a<br>
console, including bookmarking and a history viewer.<br>
<br>
Chirayu Chiripal and Ashutosh Dhundhara both worked on many feature<br>
improvements. These improvements may not be glamorous but feature some<br>
much needed maintenance and minor improvements.<br>
<br>
Behind the scenes, Dhananjay Nakrani has improved the error reporting<br>
server, an optional reporting feature allowing users to automatically<br>
submit error reports directly to the phpMyAdmin developers. Now, PHP<br>
errors can also be reported.<br>
<br>
Additional behind the scenes work was done by Bimal Yashodha to refactor<br>
the code behind the Designer interface. Most of these improvements are<br>
transparent to users but help ease the maintenance required on this<br>
portion of the code.<br>
<br>
Our second piece of exciting news is that this release includes many<br>
improvements thanks to our new full-time developer, Madhura Jayaratne.<br>
<br>
"I am so excited to be working for phpMyAdmin as a contract developer<br>
and since I started working, my focus has mainly been on stabilizing the<br>
code for the upcoming version 4.3 release. This involved fixing a number<br>
of bugs as well as improving performance, which was due for some time.”<br>
<br>
The biggest improvement Madhura has brought to 4.3 is increased speed<br>
and performance when operating with many (thousands) databases, such as<br>
in a shared hosting environment.<br>
<br>
Some of the new features are:<br>
<br>
* Smart sorting for int keys<br>
* Confirmation message when dropping user(s)<br>
* Confirm dialog on accidentally leaving a page<br>
* Allow clicking an approximate row count to get a correct one<br>

* Drag and Drop SQL import<br>
* Preview SQL instead of executing it<br>
* Run SQL query: Allow rollback for InnoDB tables<br>
* Zeroconf PMA tables support<br>
* Regexp replace<br>
* Avoid session timeout when user is active<br>
