phpMyAdmin work during sixth and seventh weeks

During the two week I attended to a combination of bugs, features/improvements, code refactoring as well as code quality improvements. However, most of the time was spent on bugs as there were number of bugs being reported. Following are the bugs fixed and investigated during the two weeks.

Bugs fixed

issue #11476 Errors instead of git info when PHP has no gzip support

issue #11630 Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given

issue #11639 Bug with the MainBackground Color

issue #11647 Restrict configuration NavigationTreeDbSeparator to strings

Bugs investigated

issue #11637 "AS" from the main table of the query is being deleted when you are exporting a query

issue #11651 Issue while creating tables

issue #11659 Totally turn off autocomplete and sql syntax check

Among the new features implemented, issue #11641, which requested to disable one of the relational features, was discussed during the team meeting and it was suggested to use a special value for the same configuration directive to disable the feature. This was implemented targeting future 4.6 release. Additionally, as part of minimizing the upload footprint, GIS features were adjusted to function without bulky OpenLayers library. Moreover, profiling chart now uses the generic charting mechanism which facilitate moving to a new charting library with less hassle.
