Greetings,

The phpMyAdmin development team is pleased to announce the availability of the second release candidate for phpMyAdmin 2.5.5.

About 2.5.5-rc2 --------------- New minimum version requirements:

phpMyAdmin now requires at least PHP 4.1.x and MySQL 3.23.32.

MySQL 4.1 Note:

phpMyAdmin's MySQL 4.1 support is still experimental

Improvements:

* General code optimization by removing old PHP3-compatibility * Make default functions configurable * Visual scratchboard: show column names * Show overhead in table list, allow to check all overheaded tables at once * Export: can suppress dates information * MySQL error messages improved formatting * Printview: display linked values and other relational features * Export: allow delayed INSERTs, and support for UPDATE and REPLACE statements * Show result of last SHOW query when using multiple queries * Can now specify the default query * Catch table renaming with dot in the new name * Multi-row edit * Date MIME transformation: show also real data before transformation * New language: Basque * Printview: show number of rows

Fixes:

* Relation view: non-unique keys were not displayed as possible choices for foreign keys * Try to upload history in table only if configured so * Opera and Export dynamic options * Try to show sorting by indexes only if makes sense * Some undefined variables * SQL-history and js errors * Export and CSV for Excel can now choose the Excel edition * Multi-row delete in vertical mode * Execute stored bookmarks had a problem * Transformations: now allow more timestamps * Export: added XML header * Could not enter the string "NULL" * Export: fixed LaTeX output, and unique fields are now bold * Export: foreign keys problem * FULLTEXT is possible not just on TEXT but also MEDIUMTEXT, etc * Now we can kill more processes * Display problem with repeated headers * In Server view, left frame did not keep server choice, language, etc * Sort on some aliased columns did not work * Left panel and non-escaping of single quotes * Backquotes were present in the db name choice for Create db * Support for FORCE INDEX * Problem when DROPping the only remaining db * Fix moving foreign key definition on Windows
