Hi Marc & list,

I suggest Sept. 6 for 2.6.0-rc2 release, and probably one week later for 2.6.0-final.
September 6th for RC2 is fine for me, but I'd like to wait two weeks before we release a final, though.
OK for 2 weeks.
Before -rc2 I plan to work on
- removing charset introducers and use CONVERT
- bug 1009791
This is done.
We should also do some testing on the new MySQL 4.1.4-gamma. Although I haven't encountered any (new) problems yet, I think we should ensure that we are really compatible to this one.
I did not see any problems under 4.1.4 here.
About #1018081, as discussed with Alexander, maybe we should not support MySQL 4.1.0
- 1 for dropping MySQL 4.1.0 support. 4.1.0 is just too experimental and
on top of that some core functionalities haven been changed or extended since then, for example the character set environment variables (on which we have to rely) have been added in 4.1.1. Personally, I don't want to write compatibility code for a single experimental alpha version.
and 4.1.1
4.1.1 _should_ be OK, but I'm not sure if we should officially support that version.
Also, we will have to make a decision about Safari support before -final.
I don't like much the idea of working around problems of pre-final testing software.
I did not mean that the current Safari is not final, I meant supporting Safari in phpMyAdmin 2.6-0 (final). Well, maybe Safari 1.2.3 final is not so final, after all :)
Other bug reports do not appear show-stoppers to me.
I will also check if there are any possible showstoppers in the list.
