If it was all about the money for you, you wouldn't have joined our team,
would you? :o)

No, we expect Bill Gates to buy our software as soon as it is ported to ASP
and supports MS-SQL and Access.
Then, we will sell licenses for 500$ for home users and 1.491$ for corporate
customers.

The decline of the open source movement; the Europatents will push
uncommercial software into illegality.

If you need more time, we can postpone 2.5.4 for one or two weeks...
It is not that we have to release it on Sunday.

Hi All!
The editor of the bulgarian WebDev Magazine approached me and asked if I was willing to
answer some questions to be posted in their PDF edition of the magazine. No expenses, no
money, but I'm still interested - I like questionaires and the likes.
He asked if I want to publish the questions to you other guys, so here's his mail:

P.S.: 2.5.4 is fine for me - even though there is this unfinished bookmark-thing. But I
won't make to finalize the code Nijel suggested before my 'vacation' to London in
October.

Hi list,
The current status of phpMyAdmin looks pretty stable to me, so what about
2.5.4-rc1 and QA_2_5_4 branch-out on Sunday?
I think, we have merged some fixes that should find their way into a release
version soon. :-)
In this case, the schedule would look as follows:
2.5.4 branch point and RC1: 09/28
Final release (or RC2): 10/12
Alt. final release (if RC2): 10/26
Would this be OK for you?
Regards,
Alexander

Sure it would.
The problem is that although those users may change a user's privileges,
they are not automatically allowed to view the current privileges. This
makes developing a GUI for this purpose really hard.
We could use the conroluser to read the privileges the current user may
alter, but this should not be the default behavior of phpMyAdmin.
While revising server_privileges.php3, I thought about splitting it up into
server_privileges.php3, db_privileges.php3, tbl_privileges.php3 and
libraries/privileges_common.lib.php3. If I did so, I could try to find a way
to merge this feature.

Alexander
Hi,
From the manual:
"The WITH GRANT OPTION clause gives the user the ability to give to
other users any privileges the user has at the specified privilege level. "
I would be interesting if the Privileges pages could be used for normal
users that have WITH GRANT OPTION.

OK for me.
If we have a sub-page for the release notes, we could also keep the release
notes of the previous version...

Alexander
