I think I'd like to release the next version, probably 4.8.4.1, in the next few days. You can track some issues at https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/milestone/247 (and https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/milestone/247?closed=1).
We're accumulating a number of fixes, but most of them are regressions from the security fix introduced in 4.8.4, so in those cases making a quick 4.8.4.1 release would make sense.
I wonder what everyone thinks about this, are we good to do 4.8.4.1 soon? I think the view issue (13788) and the urldecode issue (14791) should probably go to 4.8.5, but the rest seem reasonable to put in 4.8.4.1. I'd probably include #14794, the issue about Text_Plain_Sql, in 4.8.4.1, even though it isn't a new issue it's a very small typo so I think the argument could be made to go either way with it.
Any other thoughts? Isaac
