On all my servers, I run phpmyadmin using the STABLE branch of the phpmyadmin git repo (https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/tree/STABLE). This allows for very easy updates/rollbacks.

On occasion, phpMyAdmin will notify me that there is a new stable version available and that I should upgrade, but the STABLE branch of the git repo is still at the previous version.

For instance, on 2014-05-13 there was a note that a new stable version (4.2.1) was available and as of 2014-05-14 19:00:00 UTC, the STABLE branch is still at 4.2.0.

Most of the time, once I notice the upgrade message, the STABLE branch is at that version, but on occasion there is a delay.

This brings up a couple questions:

  • Is the STABLE branch the best branch to be running from?
  • Is the delay from being notified that there is a new version to when it is available in the STABLE repo normal?

The STABLE branch should always match the current release. That's the best branch to track if you wish to use git to stay updated but not on the development version (master, which is rarely actually broken but still not for general development use).

I have no idea why you saw a delay on the update -- if it happens again, you should probably contact the development team on the bug tracker about it.
