phpMyAdmin 4.0 is Coming Soon!

PhpMyAdmin_logo phpMyAdmin 4.0 is coming soon! At our team meeting in February 2012, we had decided that it was time to replace the frames-based interface with an Ajax-based page loader. Therefore, one of the Google Summer of Code 2012 projects undertook this task and now, a few months later, we are in late beta phase.

The interface still offers the familiar navigation and main panels, but the navigation panel always contains a hierarchical tree of databases and all their content, fetch dynamically depending on the user’s actions.

This design choice means that Javascript is now mandatory to be able to run phpMyAdmin 4.x.

Version 4.0 also has smaller new features and many bug fixes, that were evaluated as not critical enough to be part of the 3.5 family.

Finally, the documentation has been revamped by moving it to Sphinx. This also means that it can be downloaded in a number of new formats like PDF, Epub and manpage.

Download the 4.0.0 release candidate here.

The Puerto Rico Python Interest Group (prPIG) will hold their 3rd meeting on March 27th at 6:30 PM. The meeting will dedicated to hacking away at the prPIG process to host collaborative events, such as a Python Hackathon, in the San Juan, Puerto Rico area. We will brainstorm how to use what’s already known and adapting (translating) it to the types of projects, processes, and activities that will be successful in Puerto Rico.

Our next scheduled regular meeting will be on April 10th, 2013 at 6:30 PM. The co-founders of Blimp (a local startup based on Python) will give us an inside look at their SD stack.

All of the prPIG meetings are sponsored by the Internet Society, ASOPYMES, and Altamente. Meetings are held in the ASOPYMES offices in the Teachers Association Building in Hato Rey, Suite 403. prPIG can be contacted through a variety social networks: Google Communties, Google Groups, our Facebook Page, and on the prPIG homepage.
