My last week was about usual amount of bug screening and fixing. Overall it was quite calm bringing small progress in many areas and hard to highlight something.
There were also dozen of improvements to our Docker image, the most important being change to tags we provide - latest is now latest released version, while edge is getting changes from master branch (of docker repository, it still contains released phpMyAdmin).
#12790 Q: What are the reasons for supporting 4.0 longer than 4.4?
#12070 Can we get rid of odd and even classes in tables?
#12789 console is showing wrong error message?
#12779 CVEs for latest security fixes ?
Also this is first stable release after several years which comes with Windows binaries. These are built using AppVeyor and will help bring Windows users back to latest versions.
Full list of changes and new features can be found on Gammu 1.38.0 release page.

Last week was heavily focused on cleaning up our issue trackers. As you can see from huge list of issues I've closed there is always lot of things to handle. Many of those were not fixed though, it was just housekeeping of old questions where the submitter didn't come back after we've asked for clarification. On the code side there were some pull requests merges including those who needed non trivial fixes and authors didn't found time to implement them.
Another improvements were done on the Docker image, where several cleanups were done (more to follow this week).
#12566 Filter rows is not working.
#12705 Could you add in custom colors / fonts?
#12699 Make possible to turn of notification "There was a problem accessing your browser storage,".
#12763 localhost/phpmyadmin showing wierd thing?
#12721 Fixes #12663 remove unused property "$_isAjaxPage"
Last week we've finally managed to release phpMyAdmin 4.6.5 (and quickly followed by hotfix 4.6.5.1). This included several security fixes (see my comment on our security status yesterday and lot of bugfixes as we've really failed to release quickly this time. Next release should follow two month release schedule, so let's see how we will manage that.
There was some work on the code and libraries as well. The ShapeFile library has reached 1.0 milestone after several fixes and testsuite improvements, so if you are looking for PHP library to handle ESRI Shape Files, this is the best choice right now.
Last week was mostly focused on our libraries. I got merged several patches to our SQL parser from Deven and I've spent quite some time on ShapeFile library, which got several improvements.
It all started with one issue being reported and it actually pushed me to fix older issue - lack of tests. Few commits later the coverage went up to 92% and several bugs were fixed on the way, as some parts of the code were simply broken and nobody has used them so far.
