I've brought up 2.1.0 (from work) and 2.2.0rc5 CVS from a few minutes ago
(from home), and here's what else I can see:

- Table and database dump improvements:
   Data-only
   Selected tables or number of rows
   Gzipped
- "Show this query here again" on database
- Table usage and row statistics
- Query at table-level
- Sort table in-place
- Table comments
- Multiple table types
- Drop table at table-level
- Backslash cleanup all over the place
- Browse/Select/Insert/Empty at top of table-level
- Edit/Delete at left on browse-level
- "Insert as new row" at edit-level
- Improved ENUM and SET handling when displaying, ALTERing, or editing
- "Length/Set" value ignored for field types that don't support it

BTW, I showed 2.2.0rc3 to a co-worker and he was excited/impressed. You guys
have done a PHENOMENAL job. Thank you for making such a wonderful product.
