It seems that I did mess it up with last version of Enca and it was not possible to install it without error. Now comes hotfix which fixes tat.

If you don't know Enca, it is an Extremely Naive Charset Analyser. It detects character set and encoding of text files and can also convert them to other encodings using either a built-in converter or external libraries and tools like libiconv, librecode, or cstocs.

Full list of changes for 1.18 release:

• fix installation of devhelp documentation

Still enca is in maintenance mode only and I have no intentions to write new features. However there is no limitation to other contributors, join the project at GitHub :-).

Okay, this report is not weekly and is a bit late, but anyway here comes report covering last two weeks in 2015.

As you might expect there were some days off, but still quite some work has been done. I've focused on encoding conversions and usage of mb_* functions. One of results was cleanup PR and some opened questions. The PR is already merged meanwhile and we will probably make again the mbstring dependency options. Rest was pretty much just bug fixing.

Fixed issues:

• #11788 Problems with error message conversion
• #11787 Errors from iconv
• #11786 Kanji encoding errors
• #11785 Internal encoding different than UTF-8
• #11784 Warning: zip_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource
• #11783 ReferenceError: PMA_messages is not defined
• #14 Offer just the latest theme version for a specific phpMyAdmin version
