Today, the phpMyAdmin team released version 4.7.0 as the latest stable version, and 4.0.10.20 as a security and bugfix release.

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 4.7.0, a regular maintenance release containing new features, bug fixes, and a security fix.

A complete list of new features and bugs that have been fixed is available in the ChangeLog file or changelog.php included with this release.

Notable changes since 4.6.6:

* Fix an issue where $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] is ignored (PMASA-2017-8) * Fix JavaScript errors when using Designer * Show all databases in dropdown selector, including the current one * Better defaults when creating a multi-field foreign key * Improved support for TokuDB * Improved handling of LoginCookieValidity, this should improve certain cases where users were getting logged out prematurely * Fix an error that could occur when copying a database (related to pmadb/Configuration Storage metadata) * Fixed OpenDocument exports * Fixed alignment of NULL values * Removed error message about client and server version mismatch * Compatibility fixes when running under HHVM 3.18 * Fix the version check when curl is incorrectly configured * Change the default export setting for Excel files; now the default is to include column names in the first row. This is always configurable with $cfg['Export']['excel_columns'] * Log failed authentication attempts to syslog (useful for parsing by fail2ban, for example) * Add filtering for the database list * Add table filtering to the database 'Structure' tab * Add support for exporting user settings as a config.inc.php snippet * Add option to delete settings from browser storage * Changes to the JSON import and export format to better follow the JSON specification, however this breaks compatibility with older versions. See https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/import_export.html#json * Support for IPv6 proxies * Allow more connection parameters for the controluser connection * Rename 'Relations' to 'Relationships' in many places as it's a more correct term * More documentation for export configuration options * Remove support for Swekey authentication * Remove support for old, unsupported versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer * Removed $cfg['ThemePath']

Starting with this version, phpMyAdmin uses Composer to manage PHP library dependencies while under development. Users downloading the official source distribution will not notice a difference, however users of the git repository should refer to https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#installing-from-git for details.

Also beginning with this version, we've made some changes to the files available for download. There are now three different packages available: `all-languages` and `english` are the same downloads we've offered for some time, the former featuring all languages for which we have a reasonable amount of translations and the latter being a smaller English-only download. We have added a `source` download, which includes the unit test suite, Gettext po files, documentation source, and JavaScript source files; these are omitted from the other packages as most users have no need for them. We have also reduced the number of compression formats available due to low utilization; for each package we have .tar.gz, .tar.xz, and .zip formats available.

There are many more improvements; please refer to the ChangeLog for full details.

4.0.10.20 fixes database search when the locale is not 'en' and also fixes a security issue where $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] is ignored (PMASA-2017-8) in certain situations.

As always, downloads are available at https://www.phpmyadmin.net
