Re: Critical bug: pgAdmin v4.25 has started ignoring my "Browser Command" which completely cripples me and makes me unable to manage my PostgreSQL database.

Hi All

We have fixed the *weird* issue of *BrowserCommand* and *FixedPort* both.
It will be part of the release on 19th September but if someone wants to
test it and confirm then please download and install the nightly build from
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/snapshots/2020-09-02/

*Note*: If you are testing the snapshot build just keep that in mind there
are commits which are still in "Testing".
