Welcome to phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.20, a release containing a security fix and a bug fix.
The security fix relates to the possible bypass of $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'], see PMASA-2017-08.
The bug fix relates to searching a database when the locale is not set 'en'.
As long as no users are configured with no password or the server is not relying on $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] for security protection, this update is not a required upgrade. For more information, you can refer to the ChangeLog file included with this release and the security announcements at https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 4.7.0, a regular maintenance release containing new features, bug fixes, and a security fix.
A complete list of new features and bugs that have been fixed is available in the ChangeLog file or changelog.php included with this release.
Notable changes since 4.6.6:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] is ignored (PMASA-2017-8)Starting with this version, phpMyAdmin uses Composer to manage PHP library dependencies while under development. Users downloading the official source distribution will not notice a difference, however users of the git repository should refer to https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#installing-from-git for details.
Also beginning with this version, we've made some changes to the files available for download. There are now three different packages available: all-languages and english are the same downloads we've offered for some time, the former featuring all languages for which we have a reasonable amount of translations and the latter being a smaller English-only download. We have added a source download, which includes the unit test suite, Gettext po files, documentation source, and JavaScript source files; these are omitted from the other packages as most users have no need for them. We have also reduced the number of compression formats available due to low utilization; for each package we have .tar.gz, .tar.xz, and .zip formats available.
There are many more improvements; please refer to the ChangeLog for full details.
As always, downloads are available at https://www.phpmyadmin.net
