[phpMyAdmin Developers] phpMyAdmin 4.6.0-rc1 is released

[Isaac Bennetch]

The phpMyAdmin team is pleased to announce the release candidate of
version 4.6.0-rc1.

Notable changes since 4.6.0-alpha1 include security fixes and fixes to
parsing of certain queries with the SQL parser library.

phpMyAdmin 4.6.0 will be a regular maintenance release including over 35
improvements. Please note that this release ends support for old
versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, which are no longer supported
by Microsoft. There is a new configuration directive,
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] which is useful in some cases with
self-signed certificates. The ForceSSL and PmaAbsoluteUri configuration
directives have been removed (the functions of both of these should
better be handled by the webserver than the application).

A complete list of new features and bugs that have been fixed is
available in the ChangeLog file or changelog.php included with this release.

A few highlights:
* Allow setting routine-wise privileges
* UI for defining partitioning in create table window
* Support JSON data type
* Editing partitions in table Structure
* Copy results to clipboard
* Reactivate cut&paste possibility in print view
* Display binary strings as text if they are valid UTF-8
* Copy multiple tables to database
* Show MySQL error messages in user language

There are many more improvements; please refer to the ChangeLog for full
details.

As always, downloads are available at https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads

As always, thanks to our sponsors for helping to make this work possible!
