Greetings,

the phpMyAdmin development team is pleased to announce the availability 
of phpMyAdmin 2.5.2-rc2 (the second and probably last release candidate 
for 2.5.2).

Improvements:

     * Preserve edited contents of the query window
     * Uploading of SQL when no database selected
     * Optional server list drop-down in left frame
     * "Options" tab merged in "Operations"
     * PDF report: paper size selection
     * $cfg['LimitChars'] now limits all non-numeric fields
     * MySQL 4.1 support: table and field charsets
     * Better Export functionnality, including export for big tables
     * Partial support for InnoDB foreign keys: PDF report, Select tab, 
results display
     * Visual editor (scratchboard) for PDF schema
     * Export any query in CSV, LaTeX, XML
     * Warning for missing length on VARCHAR
     * Export: checkbox for AUTO_INCREMENT value
     * Gzip output buffer: auto-detection and set to FALSE for IE 6.x
     * Display CREATE DATABASE query

   Fixes:

     * MySQL 4.1 related fixes:
           o User was unable to edit column privileges
           o The table structure page sometimes displayed "Array" in the 
charset column
           o When altering the field type, the input box for the field 
length sometimes had a strange default value
           o Erroneous export of timstamp fields
           o Incorrect row count for subqueries
     * Now use TRUNCATE with MySQL 4 when emptying multiple tables
     * Various HTML pretty printer problems
     * Bad display of parser bug report
     * docSQL and filename disclosure
     * Row count and DISTINCT
     * GD2 autodetection
     * Cookie: encrypt password (blowfish)
     * Wrong field names when exporting query results
     * Support for PROCEDURE ANALYSE
     * Security fix against bad JS code
     * Proper escaping in inline images
     * Safari detection and proper fonts
     * PDF schema and hardcoded A4 scaling
     * Incorrect row count for UNION
     * Better behavior when phpMyAdmin is within a frameset
