Hi All!
Personally, I'd like to have patch #947190 in 2.6.0... Porting it to 2.6.0 shouldn't be that hard, so if we waited just a few more days with the feature freeze... ... ... :-)
I really love that patch, but I do think some work needs to be done to integrate it seemlessy and most of all backwards-compatible. I agree it's not that hard, but I also think it may take up to 2-3 weeks to solve all issues.
So either we postpone a lot and get it done good, or we don't postpone and integrate it for 2.6.x as nijel also said.
I don't know how advanced the mysqli-stuff is (don't have mysqli available here currently), but I guess it's more important for the people out there to have mysqli support than a PMA-redesign. So I think we shouldn't postpone the release, which means we should use the patch for 2.6.1 -> $0.02. :-)
Regards, Garvin.
