MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.4 has been released
The MySQL Windows Experience Team is proud to announce the release of MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.4. This is a maintenance release for 1.2.x, and it can be used for production environments.
MySQL for Visual Studio is a product that includes all of the Visual Studio integration functionality to create and manage MySQL databases when developing .NET applications.
This version is appropriate for using with MySQL server versions 5.5-5.6. The 5.7 server version is also compatible but is not fully supported, thus it should be used at your own discretion.
As this is a GA version of the MySQL for Visual Studio product, it can be downloaded by using the product standalone installer at this link http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio or with the MySQL Windows Installer.
What’s new in 1.2.4
- The MySQL for Visual studio plugin is now available in Visual Studio 2015.
- We stopped supporting Visual Studio 2008.
Bugs Fixed
- Added Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 support. (Bug #21438524, Bug #77708)
Known limitations
- MySQL for Visual Studio project templates are designed to work with MVC 4, but Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 is the first VS version that ships with MVC 5. As a workaround for this release, you must install MVC 4 to get the project templates working with VS 2015. If MVC 4 is not installed, then the MySQL template menus and toolbars will be disabled.
- If MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.4 is installed before MVC 4, then you must uninstall and then reinstall the 1.2.4 plugin. Executing a “Change” or “Repair” will not work.
- The Launch Workbench and Launch MySQL Utilities toolbar buttons are disabled in this release.
