+$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] string
+    Since release 3.3.x a tracking mechanism is available. It helps you to
+    track every SQL command which is executed by phpMyAdmin. The mechanism
+    supports logging of data manipulation and data definition statements. After
+    enabling it you can create versions of tables.
+
+    The creation of a version has two effects:
+      + phpMyAdmin saves a snapshot of the table, including structure and
+        indexes.
+      + phpMyAdmin logs all commands which change the structure and/or data of
+        the table and links these commands with the version number.
+    Of course you can view the tracked changes. On the "Tracking" page a
+    complete report is available for every version. For the report you can use
+    filters, for example you can get a list of statements within a date range.
+    When you want to filter usernames you can enter * for all names or you
+    enter a list of names separated by ','. In addition you can export the
+    (filtered) report to a file or to a temporary database.

 Known limitations
 
@@ -2469 +2544 @@
 This has been a known limitation of phpMyAdmin since the beginning and it's not
 likely to be solved in the future.
+
+3.15 When I import an Excel spreadsheet, some cells with calculations do not
+display correctly.
+
+phpMyAdmin uses the PHPExcel library to parse Excel XLS and XLSX spreadsheets.
+Therefore, any limitations that are listed on their page regarding Excel
+calculations will also apply here.
+
+PHPExcel will be kept up to date so as to make all improvements available to
+phpMyAdmin users.
+
+3.16 When I compress (gzip, bzip2, zip) an Excel workbook and attempt to import
+it, nothing happens.
+
+Since Excel XLSX workbooks are already compressed, there is often times only a
+small benefit from compressing them yet again. Support for compressed Excel
+XLSX and XLS workbooks may be added in the future.
+
+3.17 When I import an Excel spreadsheet, my custom cell types are not
+represented as they are in Excel.
+
+Excel's internal representation of custom cell types is rather muddled
+(especially in Excel 97-2003 binary XLS files). If possible, consider using a
+built-in type. These are almost always guarenteed to import correctly.
+
+3.18 When I import a CSV file that contains multiple tables, they are lumped
+together into a single table.
+
+There is no reliable way to differetiate tables in CSV format. For the time
+being, you will have to break apart CSV files containing multiple tables.
+
+3.19 When I import a file and have phpMyAdmin determine the appropriate data
+structure it only uses int, decimal, and varchar types.
+
+Currently, the import type-detection system can only assign these MySQL types
+to columns. In future, more will likely be added but for the time being you
+will have to edit the structure to your liking post-import.
+
+Also, you should note the fact that phpMyAdmin will use the size of the largest
+item in any given column as the column size for the appropriate type. If you
+know you will be adding larger items to that column then you should manually
+adjust the column sizes accordingly. This is done for the sake of efficiency.

+Synchronization
+
+9.1 How can I synchronize two databases/tables in phpMyAdmin?
+
+You can now synchronize databases/tables in phpMyAdmin using the Synchronize
+feature. It allows you to connect to local as well as remote servers.This
+requires you to enter server host name, username, password, port and the name
+of the database. Therefore you can now synchronize your databases placed on the
+same server or some remote server.

 Original Credits of Version 2.1.0
----------------------------------
-
-    This work is based on Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. It was his idea
-    to create a web-based interface to MySQL using PHP3. Although I have not
-    used any of his source-code, there are some concepts I've borrowed from
-    him. phpMyAdmin was created because Peter told me he wasn't going to
-    further develop his (great) tool.
-    Thanks go to
-    - Amalesh Kempf <ak-lsml_at_living-source.com> who contributed the
-      code for the check when dropping a table or database. He also suggested
-      that you should be able to specify the primary key on tbl_create.php3. To
-      version 1.1.1 he contributed the ldi_*.php3-set (Import text-files) as
-      well as a bug-report. Plus many smaller improvements.
-    - Jan Legenhausen <jan_at_nrw.net>: He made many of the changes that
-      were introduced in 1.3.0 (including quite significant ones like the
-      authentication). For 1.4.1 he enhanced the table-dump feature. Plus
-      bug-fixes and help.
-    - Marc Delisle <DelislMa_at_CollegeSherbrooke.qc.ca> made phpMyAdmin
-      language-independent by outsourcing the strings to a separate file. He
-      also contributed the French translation.
-    - Alexandr Bravo <abravo_at_hq.admiral.ru> who contributed
-      tbl_select.php3, a feature to display only some fields from a table.
-    - Chris Jackson <chrisj_at_ctel.net> added support for MySQL
-      functions in tbl_change.php3. He also added the
-      "Query by Example" feature in 2.0.
-    - Dave Walton <walton_at_nordicdms.com> added support for multiple
-      servers and is a regular contributor for bug-fixes.
-    - Gabriel Ash <ga244_at_is8.nyu.edu> contributed the random access
-      features for 2.0.6.
-    The following people have contributed minor changes, enhancements, bugfixes
-    or support for a new language:
-    Jim Kraai, Jordi Bruguera, Miquel Obrador, Geert Lund, Thomas Kleemann,
-    Alexander Leidinger, Kiko Albiol, Daniel C. Chao, Pavel Piankov,
-    Sascha Kettler, Joe Pruett, Renato Lins, Mark Kronsbein, Jannis Hermanns,
-    G. Wieggers.
-
-    And thanks to everyone else who sent me email with suggestions, bug-reports
-    and or just some feedback.
