phpMyAdmin, the popular tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL databases, has just reached version 4.0.0 RC1.

The developers of phpMyAdmin have just released the first release candidate, in a new branch of the application. There aren't many changes from the previous release, but an RC means that they are getting closer to a stable version.

Highlights of phpMyAdmin 4.0.0 RC1:

• Users are now allowed to create a database with the same name as a previous one; • All privileges can now be exported; • Columns containing Pipe Character are now exporting properly; • phpMyAdmin can now run from CIFS/Samba shares.

A complete list of changes can be found in the official changelog, in the downloaded source archive. Download phpMyAdmin 4.0.0 RC1 right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
