We have published a new beta release of Version 5.2.16 Workbench Beta 6 build includes fixes for 67 bugs.
In Beta 6 we’ve also responded to great community ideas and feedback with various new convenience and security features:
- Saving your profile/connection passwords in OSX keychain, gnome-keyring or – for windows – in a encrypted password-vault-file.
- New rapid development features for generating complete SQL Select/DML statements or names for selected objects in Query Editor to either the query area or clipboard.
- New in the Windows version (coming to Mac and Linux soon) the ability to set a preference for the placement of the sidebar in the Query Editor (left or right side.)
- And last but not least, we put a good bit of focus on optimizing and stabilizing the administrator components.
We want to thank all the people who have been testing MySQL Workbench 5.2 alphas and betas and taking the time to file bugs and provide valuable feedback. We have fixed many bugs since last release and worked on some other details as well.
MySQL Workbench 5.2 Beta 5 provides:
- Data Modeling
- Query (upgrade from MySQL Query Browser)
- Admin (upgrade from MySQL Administrator)
If you are a current user of MySQL Query Browser or MySQL Administrator, we look forward to your feedback on all the new capabilities we are delivering in a single unified MySQL Workbench
