MySQL Workbench 5.2.35 GA Available

The MySQL Developer Tools team is proud to announce the next release of it’s flagship product, MySQL Workbench, version 5.2.35. This is the next maintenance release containing 29 bug fixes as well as new feature additions. We also updated the supported platforms to include most recent editions of Fedora and Ubuntu Linux.

MySQL Workbench 5.2.35 now supports the Native Windows Authentication Method – available in the commercial MySQL server product – and the creation of user accounts utilizing this new authentication method.

For the PHP developers out there, Workbench now also comes with a new set of plugins to turn SQL Queries into PHP code to be put right into your scripts.

A big “Thank You” again to everyone for the large amount of feedback and ideas we have received on how to further improve and extend MySQL Workbench. We are continuously working on improving the functionality and stability of MySQL Workbench – please keep sending us your ideas!
