Welcome to the release of phpMyAdmin version 5.0.0.

This release includes many new features and improvements from the 4.9 series. We expect to maintain version 4 in a security capacity to support users with older PHP installations.

With this release, we are removing support of old PHP versions (5.5, 5.6, 7.0, and HHVM). These versions are outdated and are no longer supported by the PHP team.

Version 5.0 includes many coding improvements that modernize the interface. Many of these changes are transparent to users, but make the code easier to maintain. Much of this refactoring work is completed by our contract developer, Maurício Meneghini Fauth.

Some of the changes and new features include:

• Enable columns names by default for CSV exports
• Add Metro theme
• Automatically add the index when creating an auto increment column
• Improvements to exporting views
• Prompt the user for confirmation before running an UPDATE query with no WHERE clause
• Improvements to how errors are show to the user (including allowing easier copying of the error text to the clipboard)
• Added keystrokes to clear the line (ctrl+l) and clear the entire console window (ctrl+u)
• Use charset 'windows-1252' when export format is MS Excel

There are several more changes, please refer to the ChangeLog file included with the release for full details.
