The phpPgAdmin Team is proud to announce the new major release of phpPgAdmin. Version 5.0 add many new features, bug fixes and updated translations over the previous version.
This version has been tested before and during 2 beta releases. Moreover, our new automated selenium tests are able to run against PostgreSQL 7.4 up to the latest 9.0.
Since the last 4.2 release, a lot of bugs have been fixed and a fair amount of code has been cleaned up.
We already have many great ideas for the next 5.1, and are looking forward to start working on the 5.1-dev branch !
