Welcome to the second release candidate of phpMyAdmin 2.11, which will
probably be the last series supporting PHP 4.
This version supports creating VIEWs from query results and can manage
triggers, procedures and functions. It also supports MySQL 5.0.37 query
profiling and has an improved interface for servers hosting thousands of
databases and tables.
Thanks to our valiant testers, rc2 has ten bug fixes, compared to rc1.
It should be the last candidate before 2.11.0 final.
