Thread: pgAdmin 1.4.0 Released

I'm pleased to announce the release of pgAdmin II v1.4.0. Many thanks to
all those that have contributed time and effort to it's development and
testing.

pgAdmin II is a comprehensive PostgreSQL management and administration
tool for Microsoft Windows platforms. For more information and
downloads, please visit the website at http://www.pgadmin.org/ (kindly
hosted by hub.org).

This release is the first stable release to support the upcoming version
7.3 of PostgreSQL. Users of pgAdmin II v1.2.0 *must* upgrade if they
wish to use PostgreSQL 7.3.

Changes made since version 1.2.0 are listed below.

Regards, Dave.
