The Internet, 2003-07-29

Greetings,

the phpMyAdmin development team is pleased to announce availability of the first release candidate for phpMyAdmin 2.5.3.

This one comes early, because some last-minute bugs found their way into 2.5.2.

MySQL 4.1 Note:

phpMyAdmin's MySQL 4.1 support is still experimental

Improvements:

* MySQL 4.1: new page about Character sets and collations * better support for MySQL charsets * LIKE in Select sub-page for non-text fields * optional icons for actions * better PHP code generation * possibility to let phpMyAdmin continue execution of a multi-query statement even though single queries may fail * possibility to display the result of each query of a multi-query statement * display MySQL error code and link to relevant documentation

Fixes:

* Removed lowercase transformation of SQL * "Missing..." messages were wrongly displayed * armascii8 appears twice in the charset list * InnoDB and multi-columns foreign key * Confirmation for TRUNCATE statements * InnoDB and cross-db foreign keys * A user could not edit his own global privileges * Obey fmtType when set to 'none' * SELECT DISTINCT was broken (MySQL 3)

Marc Delisle, for the team.
