phpMyAdmin 3.1.5 has been released. It is a bugfix-only version. Among the changes is a fix for PHP 5.3 compatibility.

For those of you who may not already know about phpMyAdmin, it is a free software tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL.

Since version phpMyAdmin 3.x, support for PHP 4 has been dropped (as the official developers for PHP no longer support PHP 4 or earlier). If you still use PHP 4 on your server, then you can still use the phpMyAdmin 2.x series.
