<b>The phpMyIDE Development Team is pleased to announce to official release of phpMyIDE 0.5d.</b><br><br>

The primary focus of the release is stability and bug fixes for the series-5 releases. This is probably the last release for version 0.55, since we are now actively working on the features of version 0.6.<br><br>

Highlights of the release include:
<ul>
<li>The command prompt just continues to get tighter and better. There we're miscellaneous bugs with certain commands, like select count('x') from a table that were hassling me and they're all patched up. Other improvements include better answers for certain queries, like insert/update/delete - used to just return 'OK' now they respond with the number of rows affected. </li>
<li>The config file has again been greatly updated. This time it's got a huge amount of commenting to let you know exactly what each variable is and how it affects the system. </li>
<li>The multiple-connection stuff is in place and working nicely. The config.php file has details about how to create these records.
<li>Changing your connection is done through the command prompt. A couple new commands have been added to the command lexicon to manage it.</li>
<li>UserName/Password protected websites are now OK. This problem only presented itself in the command prompt with long commands like select * from a table. There are two new optional parameters in each configuration record for the username and password.</li>
<li>Reports: I am happy enough with the system to officially release version 1 of the reports.</li>
<li>Last, but certainly not least, is the testinstall.php script. This little routine will help you debug a connection problem. Call it from a browser and you should get nothing but "OK" for each tested item. If any of the items do not come up OK then you know that some element of the IDE will not work correctly. testinstall.php will test all of your connections as well, so if you have several connections and one in particular doesn't work correctly, this will help. This script is going to eventually be incorporated into the IDE so that as you define connections you can debug them right there.</li>
</ul>... read more
