Upstream announcement: Welcome to **phpMyAdmin 4.9.1**, a bugfix release

Summary

phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of

MySQL over the World Wide Web. Most frequently used operations are supported

by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes,

users, permissions), while you still have the ability to directly execute any

SQL statement.

Features include an intuitive web interface, support for most MySQL features

(browse and drop databases, tables, views, fields and indexes, create, copy,

drop, rename and alter databases, tables, fields and indexes, maintenance

server, databases and tables, with proposals on server configuration, execute,

edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries, manage MySQL users

and privileges, manage stored procedures and triggers), import data from CSV

and SQL, export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, OpenDocument Text

and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX and others, administering multiple servers,

creating PDF graphics of your database layout, creating complex queries using

Query-by-example (QBE), searching globally in a database or a subset of it,

transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions,

like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link and much more...

Upstream announcement: Welcome to **phpMyAdmin 4.9.1**, a bugfix release. This

is a regularly-schedule bugfix release that also includes some security

hardening measures. We wish to point out that this also includes a routine fix

for an issue that has been reported as CVE-2019-12922. The fix for this has been

in our release queue to be part of this release, however it is the opinion of

the team that the reported attack vector did not justify a separate release.

This release includes fixes for many bugs, including: * Editing columns with

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for MySQL versions 8.0.13 and newer * Compatibility issues

with PHP 8 * Export of GIS visualization * Enhanced descriptions for

several collation types * Creating a user with a single quote in the password

string * Unexpected quotes during import and export on text fields *

Improvements to adding new tables to Designer * Fix an issue where an

authenticated user could trigger heavy traffic between the database server and

web server * Fix a weakness where an attacker, under certain conditions,

working at the same time as an administrator is using the setup script, could

delete a server from the setup script There are many, many more bug fixes

thanks to the efforts of our developers, Google Summer of Code applicants, and

other contributors. The phpMyAdmin team
