Dear MySQL users,
The MySQL developer tools team announces 6.2.4 as our maintenance release
for MySQL Workbench 6.2.
MySQL Workbench 6.2 is the new version for the official MySQL
graphical development tool.
MySQL Workbench 6.2 focuses on support for innovations released in MySQL
5.6 and MySQL 5.7 DMR (Development Release) as well as MySQL Fabric 1.5,
with features such as:
* A new spatial data viewer, allowing graphical views of result sets
containing GEOMETRY data and taking advantage of the new GIS
capabilities in MySQL 5.7.
* Support for new MySQL 5.7.4 SQL syntax and configuration options.
* Metadata Locks View shows the locks connections are blocked or waiting
on.
* MySQL Fabric cluster connectivity - Browsing, view status, and connect
to any MySQL instance in a Fabric Cluster.
* MS Access migration Wizard - easily move to MySQL Databases.
Other significant usability improvements were made, aiming to raise
productivity for advanced and new users:
* Direct shortcut buttons to commonly used features in the schema tree.
* Improved results handling. Columns have better auto-sizing and their
widths are saved. Fonts can also be customized. Results "pinned" to
persist viewing data.
* A convenient Run SQL Script command to directly execute SQL scripts,
without loading them first.
* Database Modeling has been updated to allow changes to the formatting
of note objects and attached SQL scripts can now be included in forward
engineering and synchronization scripts.
* Integrated Visual Explain within the result set panel.
* Visual Explain drill down for large to very large explain plans.
* Shared SQL snippets in the SQL Editor, allowing multiple users to
share SQL code by storing it within a MySQL instance.
* And much more.
The list of provided binaries was updated and MySQL Workbench binaries
now available for:
* Windows 7 32 and 64bits
* Mac OS X Lion or newer
* Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 64bits
* Fedora 20 64bits
* Oracle Linux 6.5 64bits
* Oracle Linux 7 64bits
* Sources for building in other Linux distributions. Pre-compiled binaries
are no longer provided for 32bit Linux distributions, although users may
still download and build from sources.
Note: Workbench for Windows requires Visual C++ Redistributable for
Visual Studio 2013, which can be downloaded from:

Changes in MySQL Workbench 6.2.4 2014-11-20
Functionality Added or Changed
* A new advanced tab was added to the MySQL Enterprise
Backup profile editor. These options are stored in the
[mysqlbackup] section of the backup profile, which is
used by the MySQL Enterprise Backup executable through
the --defaults-file parameter. (Bug #19643172)
* A new preference was added that defines whether pressing
Tab inserts tab characters or spaces. (Bug #19598375, Bug
#73189)
* The EER diagram catalog browser now remembers view states
on a per diagram basis. (Bug #19508483, Bug #72255)
* A new Indentation section was added to the "General
Editors" preferences. Included are options to set the
indentation width and tab width. (Bug #17455648, Bug
#70148)
* Adding an SQL snippet now opens the snippet editor, when
before it immediately added the snippet without a title
or code review. (Bug #14724622, Bug #67085)
* A new preference was added that limits the number of
automatically opened SQL result sets for SELECT queries,
which defaults to 50. Reaching this limit emits a
warning.
Before, executing a large number of SELECT queries (about
800) at once would cause a fatal error after exceeding
system CPU and memory limits. (Bug #12949811, Bug #62259)
* A new Skip checking of Routine Definer option was added
to the Catalog Diff Report wizard. This improves
functionality for stored procedures and functions. (Bug
#11764775, Bug #13418623, Bug #57645, Bug #63175)
* Opening an SQL script no longer requires a MySQL
connection. To do this, select Open SQL Script from the
File navigation menu on the home page. (Bug #11757343,
Bug #49377)
Bugs Fixed
* Inserting the locate() function inside another function
would incorrectly report an SQL syntax error. (Bug
#19856523, Bug #74439)
* On Linux, the query result view did not populate with
libglib version 2.42 and above. (Bug #19831054, Bug
#74147)
* Compiling MySQL Workbench would fail on Hurd, kFreeBSD,
s390x, and ppc64el systems. (Bug #19806379, Bug #74241)
* Double-clicking on an object in the schema navigator
(except for the schema name) now populates the SQL editor
area with the object name. This restores previous
behavior. (Bug #19788017, Bug #74299)
* Connections to remote hosts using the connection method
"Standard TCP/IP over SSH" would fail with new versions
(1.15+) of the paramiko library.
A workaround was to downgrade the system's paramiko
library. (Bug #19768621, Bug #74223)
* Stored procedures that were identified as having syntax
errors could not be saved. (Bug #19767233, Bug #74237)
* MySQL Workbench generated incorrect UPDATE queries for
tables without a Primary Key even where unique keys were
present. (Bug #19711078, Bug #74140)
* After typing Control + F and clicking Replace, the
entered text of the replace string was not fully visible.
(Bug #19690226, Bug #74088)
* On Windows, "Beautify/reformat the SQL script" could
cause MySQL Workbench to freeze. (Bug #19667130, Bug
#74020)
* The Find's Previous button would sometimes behave like
the Next button. (Bug #19647189, Bug #73971)
* Under Data Import/Restore, the "Enable Cleartext
Authentication Plugin" option did not always function.
(Bug #19598678, Bug #72433)
* Under Users and Privileges, the text "Click the Drop
button to completely remove the account" was changed to
"Click the Delete button to completely remove the
account". (Bug #19598511, Bug #73857)
* A new Data Export preference was added that makes the
CREATE DATABASE and USE statements optional in the
generated output. (Bug #19598433, Bug #72599)
* A new preference (checkbox) was added to optionally
export triggers. (Bug #19598408, Bug #73718)
* On Linux, the [x] button to close an SQL editor tab was
missing if the required font package was not present on
the system. Now, an image is used instead. (Bug
#19598393, Bug #70993)
* The SQL syntax checker would show errors for EXECUTE
statements without the "using" keyword. (Bug #19560590,
Bug #73804)
* A new GTID_PURGED option was added under "Advanced
options" to the Data Export wizard. (Bug #19528673)
* There was a performance regression between 6.0 and
6.1/6.2 when switching diagram tabs, loading the model,
as also adding new tables. The Catalog Tree was
refactored for increased performance. (Bug #19524441, Bug
#69184)
* Exporting an ALTER script using the Synchronize with Any
Source wizard after making "Column Mapping" (table name)
changes would incorrectly generate CHANGE COLUMN queries
as "CHANGE COLUMN `newcolumnname` `newcolumnname`"
instead of "CHANGE COLUMN `oldcolumnname`
`newcolumnname`". (Bug #19500938, Bug #73644)
* Attempting to execute a query with one SQL editor tab
while another SQL editor tab was causing a metadata lock
would freeze MySQL Workbench. (Bug #19444247, Bug #73574)
* The Auto-save scripts interval preference did not
function, as auto-save saved all connection and query
tabs every 10 seconds regardless of this setting. (Bug
#19201716, Bug #73178)
* Attempting to add multiple entries using the results view
"Form Editor" would fail and generate an exception unless
Apply was clicked after each individual entry. (Bug
#19185746, Bug #73253)
* The Dashboard charts for Client Connections latest
current value was always null, and the current, max, and
limit values were overlapped. (Bug #18965879, Bug #72984)
* The Server Status page did not recognize the enabled
Memcached and Semi-Sync replication features. The status
light for these features did not change from red to
green. The System and Status Variables page reported the
correct values for these features. (Bug #18703315, Bug
#72531)
* Custom user creation and MySQL Enterprise Backup was
fixed to always function with a MySQL server started with
the skip-name-resolve option. (Bug #17924757)
* Clicking Cancel at the password prompt for a Navigator
option, such as System Status, would emit an unhandled
exception. (Bug #17651774)
* The SQL CREATE Script for Selected Object window under
Object Migration in the migration wizard was narrow, and
was missing a slider. (Bug #14823142, Bug #67189)
* Font selection and support was improved. Some fonts, such
as Cyrillic fonts, were not displayed properly. (Bug
#12951450, Bug #62328)
* When generating default INSERTs code for tables in
modeling, columns that are specified NOT NULL will now
replace NULL column values with the DEFAULT keyword. (Bug
#11762839, Bug #55483)
