Dear MySQL users, The MySQL developer tools team announces 6.1.6 as our GA release for MySQL Workbench 6.1. MySQL Workbench 6.1.6 is a maintenance release and contains over 30 fixes and minor enhancements made since the original GA release. MySQL Workbench 6.1 Introducing over 30 new features, this version has many significant enhancements focusing on real-time performance assessment and analysis from the SQL statement level to server internals and file IO. You can see this from additions to the SQL Editor as well as new dashboard visualization and reporting that take advantage of MySQL Server 5.6 and 5.7 Performance Schema, and enhancements to the MySQL Explain Plans. Additionally Workbench 6.1 is leveraging work from various teammates in MySQL Engineering by introducing a schema called "SYS" that provides simplified views on Performance Schema, Information Schema, and other areas. Special thanks to the server optimizer team, server runtime team, and Mark Leith. For Oracle DBAs MySQL SYS is similar to the V$ catalog views, and MSSQL folks its like DMVs (Dynamic Management Views). MySQL Workbench 6.1 includes: * Improved drag and drop support in the Home screen and SQL Editor * Visual Explain 2. The Visual Explain feature was revamped and is now easier to read and interpret. You can also get the traditional tabular explain output from within the same interface. * Performance Dashboard. A graphical representation of some key statistics from the server status, gives you a bird's eye view of the status of key server subsystems. * For advanced users, Performance Schema Instrumentation. A GUI for configuring the Performance Schema in detail, for advanced users. * Performance Schema based reporting. Gives insight into the operation of the server through many high-level reports. * New query result view. Get more information about queries you execute, such as information about the fields in your result set and key performance statistics from your query (timing, index usage, number of rows scanned, joins etc). * Form Editor for resultsets. In addition to the result grid, you can now edit records row by row in a form style editor. * Table Inspector. Similar to the Schema Inspector, view detailed information from tables. A streamlined interface for creating indexes is also included. * Support for the Windows accessibility API and Windows high contrast color schemes. A new high contrast theme has been introduced. * And more. More than 60 enhancement requests and bugs reported by users have also been addressed, providing performance, usability and stability improvements across the board.

Changes in MySQL Workbench 6.1.6 (2014-05-16) Functionality Added or Changed * MySQL Workbench now shows a SSH fingerprint dialog box when connecting to an SSH server, to notify you when the fingerprint does not correspond to the fingerprint stored (in known_hosts) for that particular server. (Bug #11765158, Bug #58091) Bugs Fixed * MySQL Workbench could crash with a MySQL connection that was defined with an unprivileged MySQL user. (Bug #18704357, Bug #72350) * On Mac OS X, the code completion tooltip could be displayed on top of a non-Workbench application. (Bug #18593798, Bug #72344) * The Show in Editor functionality from the Client Connections context-menu would not function (the option was grayed out). (Bug #18598559, Bug #72349) * The following scenario generated a segmentation fault in the EER diagram editor: Double-click a table with a FK, double-click a table with a FK, select the Foreign Keys tab, and to generate the "Index out of range" error and segfault, either double-click an existing table or create a new table. (Bug #18632808, Bug #72329) * The Don't create table placeholder for views option of the Forward Engineer SQL Create Script wizard did not function. (Bug #18614177, Bug #72366) * Closing the Stored Procedure Editor after changing a stored procedure (and clicking Apply) would emit an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error. (Bug #18591542, Bug #72328) * When generating a Visual Explain report, a group operation would cause the generated JSON output to contain a node error. (Bug #18534644, Bug #72180) * Subsequent executions of Query, Execute (All or Selection) to Text would cause the result's tab title from the previous execution to turn blank. (Bug #18516486, Bug #72232) * In the EER diagram editor, tooltips are now hidden when mouse movements or clicks are registered, and they are also hidden when switching applications. (Bug #18536932, Bug #72257) * With the Collect Resultset Field Metadata disabled, the Form Editor results view was blank. It now displays a message asking the user to enable the required Query, Collect Resultset Field Metadata preference. (Bug #18516369, Bug #72233) * Altering (adding values to) an ENUM column potentially caused MySQL Workbench to crash. (Bug #18530674, Bug #72267) * The Query Stats panel contained the string "sigle" instead of the word "single." (Bug #18516611, Bug #72228) * Clicking a column header in an SQL result view sorts rows in ascending order, but clicking the column header a second time would not sort the rows in descending order. (Bug #18517317, Bug #72226) * Executing the Select Objects to Forward Engineer step in the Forward Engineering wizard would crash MySQL Workbench each time the wizard is executed after the first time. In other words, the wizard would only execute every step with success during its initial (first) execution. (Bug #18526002, Bug #72251) * Executing a Visual Explain would sometimes generate an error with the text "Error calling Python module function SQLIDEQueryAnalysis.visualExplain". (Bug #18509791, Bug #72216) * After clicking Apply to save changes to a result set in the SQL editor, the executed SQL statement was no longer being displayed. (Bug #18490695, Bug #72155) * Executing Backup Restore with a MySQL user lacking the proper permissions would generate an unhandled exception. (Bug #18490779) * The PERFORMANCE schema navigator tab was disabled for MySQL server 5.5 (and below) MySQL connections, as the system requires a MySQL server 5.6 (and above) connection. Attempting a MySQL server 5.5 would report an error about a missing sys_55.sql configuration file. (Bug #18502244, Bug #72201) * Rapidly clicking Execute in a SQL session too frequently sometimes caused MySQL Workbench to crash. (Bug #18491041) * On Mac OS X, the background banner for the 6.1 installer (DMG file) incorrectly displayed 6.0. (Bug #18491018) * On Microsoft Windows, the Management, Client Connections, View Thread Stack feature failed to function. (Bug #18490766) * Mixed case and lower cased triggers were not properly displayed in the Alter Table tab, causing them to not be visible or editable. (Bug #18436881, Bug #71868) * A MySQL connection that was created without a defined username and password would fail to open, despite prompting for the username and password. (Bug #18436002) * On Mac OS X, and after adding a backtick character on a German keyboard in the SQL editor, MySQL Workbench would crash after advancing from the backtick using Space while the code-completion drop-down was visible. (Bug #18445851) * Visual Explain could fail to function for large EXPLAIN plans. (Bug #18373387, Bug #71973) * MySQL Workbench will now use the default schema when set, or use the last active schema even if after closing MySQL Workbench. Before, the last active schema was not preserved after a restart. (Bug #18352922, Bug #71900) * On Mac OS X, when a Model Validation Plugin was executed on a non-empty document, only the first of the calls succeeded. All subsequent calls to these plugins showed an "Cannot execute db.plugin.wb.validate. Plugin requires unavailable argument value" error. (Bug #18338544, Bug #71917) * Labels could be cut off from the exported image when exporting a Visual Explain, if there were "many" objects. (Bug #18374308, Bug #71980) * The bundled MySQL client library was upgraded to version 5.6.17, to solve the following MySQL client issue: MySQL client programs from a Community Edition distribution could not connect using SSL to a MySQL server from an Enterprise Edition. This was due to a difference in certificate handling by yaSSL and OpenSSL (used for Community and Enterprise, respectively). OpenSSL expected a blank certificate to be sent when not all of the --ssl-ca, --ssl-cert, and --ssl-key options were specified, and yaSSL did not do so. To resolve this, yaSSL has been modified to send a blank certificate when an option is missing. (Bug #18070573) * The File, Import, Import DBDesigner4 model operation would fail and generate an error. (Bug #11766079, Bug #59115) On behalf of the MySQL Workbench and the MySQL/ORACLE RE Team.
