PhpMyAdmin is a famous tool written in PHP and it's built to handle the administration of MySQL databases. The developers have just released a major upgrade that should prove to be quite interesting.

The latest phpMyAdmin , 4.3.0, has been made available and the developers have advanced the PHP tool to a new branch. There are quite a few changes and improvements, so users will have a lot of catching up to do.

"This release contains many bug fixes and several new features including the work done by our Google Summer of Code (GSoC) students, and is the first release since the hiring of a full-time developer, Madhura Jayaratne. I am so excited to be working for phpMyAdmin as a contract developer and since I started working, my focus has mainly been on stabilizing the code for the upcoming version 4.3 release. This involved fixing a number of bugs as well as improving performance, which was due for some time," reads the official announcement.

The devs have also explained that a confirmation message is now provided when users have been dropped, a number of MariaDB improvements have been made, the performance has been improved, phpMyAdmin is now compatible with the latest version of MySQL, and the OpenSSL support is now much better.

A complete list of changes is available in the official changelog, which can also be found in the downloaded source archive. You can download the phpMyAdmin 4.3.0 source package right now from Softpedia, but you will have to compile the package yourself.
