Great to hear that!

2.4.0 release was supposed to be coming up soon, in early Feburary, but
I haven't heard anything more about it for a while. 
Rabus - how is your user privilege stuff going ?

I see that differently, the average user that is just using PMA is not
capable of writing much PHP anyway. If they are using it in just a small
installation, they they would have full access to it anyway, and
otherwise, they just ask their admin to put a new script in.

I've got exams this next week, then I'm away from computer for the
weekend, and the week after that I'll be coding again.
