- 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 Mⁿller (Switzerland),
- supported by Marc Delisle (QuΘbec), 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:
