Greetings,

the phpMyAdmin development team is pleased to announce availability of the first
release candidate for phpMyAdmin 2.5.3.

This one comes early, because some last-minute bugs found their way into 2.5.2.

MySQL 4.1 Note:

phpMyAdmin's MySQL 4.1 support is still experimental

Improvements:

     * MySQL 4.1: new page about Character sets and collations
     * better support for MySQL charsets
     * LIKE in Select sub-page for non-text fields
     * optional icons for actions
     * better PHP code generation
     * possibility to let phpMyAdmin continue execution of a multi-query statement even though single queries may fail
     * possibility to display the result of each query of a multi-query statement
     * display MySQL error code and link to relevant documentation

Fixes:

     * Removed lowercase transformation of SQL
     * "Missing..." messages were wrongly displayed
     * armascii8 appears twice in the charset list
     * InnoDB and multi-columns foreign key
     * Confirmation for TRUNCATE statements
     * InnoDB and cross-db foreign keys
     * A user could not edit his own global privileges
     * Obey fmtType when set to 'none'
     * SELECT DISTINCT was broken (MySQL 3)
