Merry X'mas with new XAMPP versions!

[Oswald]

With new versions of XAMPP for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X we wish you all a merry christmas, snow on your server farm and a warming processor in everyones heart!

In all three Xmas gifts we updated MySQL to 5.0.51, PHP to 5.2.5 and phpMyAdmin to 2.11.3. But we didn't update Perl because the new 5.10.0 seems to be a development version, and in XAMPP we only support "stable" versions.

Santa Downloads and more details on the specific platform's XAMPP project page.

Please be careful with the Linux upgrade because there is possibly a bug in phpMyAdmin. See the relevant posting in the Linux section.

I would advise to keep a backup copy - at least of your 1.6.4 phpMyAdmin config.inc.php file.

Dear Skuipers!

Thanks for pointing at that issue. Please use or upgrade to 1.6.5a to fix this problem.

Thanks again and many greetings
Oswald

don't try xampplite-win32-1.6.5.zip (it's broken, only 6391808 B., should be 48MB)
use xampplite-win32-1.6.5.exe instead (7z, it just unpacks the files, no install).
