We’re proud to announce the next release of MySQL Workbench, version 5.2.29. This maintenance release focuses on general product improvement and usability.
As always, we want to thank everyone for the great feedback we have received. This helps us to continuously improve and extend the functionality and stability of MySQL Workbench – please keep up on approaching us with any ideas to develop our product even further.
New Workbench 5.2.29 Preference/Feature
Say you have been working on a model for hours in Workbench, and you haven’t saved in the last 90 minutes, suddenly the power goes out (or some other force majeure). Now with 5.2.29, if Workbench unexpectedly quits during modeling, the model you were working on will be restored to the last auto-saved version the next time you open that model.
As always, please remember to save and version your models regularly.
Also – you can change the value of Auto-Save Model Interval from its 5 minutes – go to Edit->Preferences and change within the General tab.
