A few days ago I wrote to the list:
--------------
Will it be bug-free? I don't think so.
Will it be the last phpMyAdmin version? I don't think so.
Will 2.2.1 be better? I think yes.
--------------
I know that 2.2.0 is a milestone and that it must be good,
but we can't make it perfect.
ok, right :)
So, let's set a release date, for example in one week ?
2.2.0-final on Sunday 26. August. Today is D - 8.
I will surely not please all developpers, but I think
that we can
release it now, because: using the most popular browsers, and
in day-to-day operations, this version is stable and useful.
Yes, it is pretty stable :) Just tested a lots of things,
and only had problems with the user administration pages:
adding users is ok, but not editing or setting a db to an
user. Could you also make some tries with this page ?
Suggestion for the release plan / tasks list:
[ ] every developper tests so many things as possible, and
in both modes (adv auth and std), especially file upload
things, and every new features.
[ ] redesign of the http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ page
[ ] write a list of major changes/improvements since version 2.1.0
(the changelog is _way_ too long :)
[ ] check if the security problems of 2.1.0 are really solved
(wouldn't be nice to get a security advisory just after
the release...:)
[ ] prepare a kind of "press release", which can then be used to
announce the release (and reborn) of phpmyadmin to sites
like lwn.net, php info pages, etc : something in english
in french would be nice, don't you think ?
[ ] proof-read the docs
[ ] on wednesday or thursday, I'll pack a 2.2.0-cvs package,
and ask the people on the users forum to make some last
tests just in case...
[ ] ... something else ? please add here :)
I'll prepare a draft for the press release the next days,
and we can then discuss it here.
Regards from central Switzerland, with an old but
good 33600 modem... (rediscovered that ssh -C rules :)
