August 2001 ================================== A set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the WWW. ----------------------------------------- http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/ http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ Announcement ------------ After 5 months, 5 beta releases and 4 release candidate versions, the phpMyAdmin developers are pleased to announce the availability of phpMyAdmin 2.2.0. phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. The project was started by Tobias Ratschiller in 1998, and is now one of the most popular PHP script used worldwide. (Un)fortunately, Tobias then stopped to work on phpMyAdmin last year: the last version (2.1.0) was released on 6. August 2000. In the mean time, there were many suggestions and good ideas around, as well as a security advisory. That is why on 31st March 2001, Olivier Müller (Switzerland), supported by Marc Delisle (Québec), Loïc Chapeaux (France) and a team of 8 other developers re-started the phpmyadmin project on SourceForge.net, with the authorization of the original package maintainer. And now, after 5 months of patches, bugfixes, new features and testing, the version 2.2.0 is finally ready. Available at http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net, it includes the following highlights: Highlights ---------- * Security fixes * New languages: Thai, Swedish, Galician, Romanian, Slovak, Japanese, Korean * Dynamic multiple language support, with automatic browser language detection * Improved documentation * Better file import/export possibilities * PEAR, CSS2 and XHTML 1.0 compliant (as far as possible) * User and Database administration page * Gzip and HTTP compression support * Removed necessity of magic_quotes_gpc (autodetection) * Bookmarks (sql queries) feature * Database usage statistics * Javascript compatibility improvements * Table maintenance features (repair, check, optimize) * Maintained PHP3 compatibility * Better BLOB support * Table usage and row statistics * Multiple table types * Now backed by a full-time development team! :) Detailed list of changes since version 2.1 is available under http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog.txt Availability ------------ This software is available under the GNU General Public License V2.0. You can get the newest version at http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ Available file formats are: .zip, .tar.gz and .tar.bz2.
