phpMyAdmin 2.2.0 - 30. August 2001
==================================

A set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the WWW.
-----------------------------------------
http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/
http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/


Announcement
------------

After 5 months, 5 beta releases and 4 release candidate versions,
the phpMyAdmin developers are pleased to announce the availability
of phpMyAdmin 2.2.0.

phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the administration of MySQL over
the Web. The project was started by Tobias Ratschiller in 1998,
and is now one of the most popular PHP script used worldwide.

(Un)fortunately, Tobias then stopped to work on phpMyAdmin last
year: the last version (2.1.0) was released on 6. August 2000. In
the mean time, there were many suggestions and good ideas around,
as well as a security advisory.

That is why on 31st March 2001, Olivier M�ller (Switzerland),
supported by Marc Delisle (Qu�bec), Lo�c Chapeaux (France) and a
team of 8 other developers re-started the phpmyadmin project on
SourceForge.net, with the authorization of the original package
maintainer. And now, after 5 months of patches, bugfixes, new
features and testing, the version 2.2.0 is finally ready.

Available at http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net, it includes the
following highlights:


Highlights
----------

* Security fixes
* New languages: Thai, Swedish, Galician, Romanian, Slovak,
Japanese, Korean
* Dynamic multiple language support, with automatic browser
language detection
* Improved documentation
* Better file import/export possibilities
* PEAR, CSS2 and XHTML 1.0 compliant (as far as possible)
* User and Database administration page
* Gzip and HTTP compression support
* Removed necessity of magic_quotes_gpc (autodetection)
* Bookmarks (sql queries) feature
* Database usage statistics
* Javascript compatibility improvements
* Table maintenance features (repair, check, optimize)
* Maintained PHP3 compatibility
* Better BLOB support
* Table usage and row statistics
* Multiple table types
* Now backed by a full-time development team! :)

Detailed list of changes since version 2.1 is available under
http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog.txt

Known bugs
----------

There are still a few annoying but hard to fix bugs:

* some browsers (IE5.0, Mozilla 0.8+) doesn't like to play with
binary data
* importing csv data may fail under very perticular circumstances
* aliases in sql queries aren't yet well handled
* out of memory error, when trying to create a table with more
than 14 fields (check the FAQ)
