[Christopher Kings-L. <ch...@fa...>]

Hi everyone,

The time has arrived for preparing for the next major release of
phpPgAdmin.

New Features:

* Add CACHE and CYCLE parameters in sequence creation
* View, add, edit and delete comments on tables, views, schemas,
   aggregates, conversions, operators, functions, types,
   opclasses, sequences and columns (Dan Boren & ChrisKL)
* Add config file option for turning off the display of comments
* Allow creating array columns in tables
* Allow adding array columns to tables
* Allow creating domains with type length and arrays
* Show domain base type and comment in domains list
* Allow import of CSV, Tabbed and XML data.  "Auto" mode chooses
   import mode based on the file extension.
* Allow upload and execution of _basic_ SQL scripts
* More admin features available: vacuum, analyze, cluster all and reindex
   (with all options) (Bryan Encina)
* Fix SQL popup window to reload when the database is changed so
   that the correct page encoding is used.
* Create view wizard (Bryan Encina)
* Allow specification of MATCH, DEFERRABLE and INITIALLY DEFERRED on
   foreign keys.
* Automatically uncheck the NULL checkbox when data is typed in the value
   field while editing data.
* Show query runtime when executing arbitrary SQL
* Allow renaming functions when backend supports it
* Views are now more like tables.  They are listed in the browser,
   you can view the virtual columns of the view and its column defaults.
   Columns in view can also be renamed and have defaults set.
* Allow viewing, dropping and creation of rules on views.
* Support for 7.5-dev ALTER COLUMN TYPE, adding of SERIAL and BIGSERIAL
   columns, adding NOT NULL columns and adding columns with defaults.

Translators
-----------

We will no longer be changing the strings table for the 3.4 release, so 
now is the time to get your updated translations in.  You will be 
pleased to know that we have added very few new strings :)

Release date will be Monday 31st May.  If you miss the release date, we 
might do a point release with any additional translations.

You should be able to the 'synch' script in the lang/ directory to merge
just the new strings into your language file from the English file.  It
is a massive time saver.

Also, before sending in your translation, make sure you use the
'langcheck' utility.

eg. php langcheck french

Which will report to you any missing strings or strings you need to remove.

Developers
----------

It's time to test and find bugs.  Please report any bugs or
errors you find, and take an hour to really exercise some of the features.

Snapshot Releases
-----------------

Snapshot releases are available from the phpPgAdmin website.  They are
updated every night.  This is the easy way of updating your translation
or testing the release, without having to checkout the CVS version.
