[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.4.1 release schedule

Looks like we have a deal on that issue? ;)

I'm definitely positive about that. Only thing we could maybe put in the next
release may be Rabus' installscript -- if he finishes that after his graduation. :)

You mean branching the project in "new features" and "session rewrite"? I don't know
if it is possible to let multiple developers work concurrently on a session rewrite.
What do you suggest there?

I vote for dropping older support. This will make the code smaller and easier to
maintain.

Yes, before beginning to work on session rewrite we should make a branch. If there
are some major bugs in < 3.0 release, we should still be able to fix that
independently.
