MySQL Workbench 5.2.32 GA Available

We’re proud to announce the next release of MySQL Workbench, version 5.2.32. This is a maintenance release featuring
a new and improved UI appearance and several corrections and other enhancements.

The tabbed interface has been refreshed to obtain a clearer separation between different modules of Workbench, while improving responsiveness when switching between tabs. The Query Formatter has been rewritten and is now faster and more robust on its handling of queries. The layout of the Administration module has been changed to allow for easier future expansion and use less vertical screen space. Parts that had problems managing MySQL 5.5 servers have been fixed along other total of 53 bugs or enhancement requests have been addressed.

As always, we want to thank everyone for the great feedback we have received. This helps us to continuously improve the functionality and stability of MySQL Workbench – we appreciate all your ideas for improving MySQL Workbench.  Please keep sending us your ideas!
