[Phpmyadmin-devel] Outdated Libraries

[Dan Ungureanu]

Hello,

That's great job! I am glad to see that all tests are passing on the latest
PHP nightly build. Is anybody aware of any code that might behave
differently when using the new phpng engine? See link [1], sections:
"Incompatibilities" and "Known Problems".

Best regards,
Dan Ungureanu
