support of MySQLi
MySQL for PHP is deprecated since 5.5.0 and will be removed in favor of MySQLi
I run my dev version of Piwigo with MySQLi since 2 months now, without any problems (I just replaced "mysql_" into "pwg_db_" in some plugins)
I think we can add it by default on Piwigo 2.5
Actually I think it's useless to provide the choice for the end-user : if MySQLi is available on the server we activate it, same thing for an update
I know plg would like to use prepared statements (with a fallback for MySQL), will see later :)

Re: support of MySQLi
That's fine for me and beta test on 2.5 will show if there is any problem.
I add that mysqli is provided by default with PHP 5+ and that PHP 5 is a prerequisite to Piwigo 2.4.
