Changes in MySQL Workbench 6.0.9 (2014-02-05)

This section documents all changes and bug fixes applied to MySQL Workbench since the release of 6.0.8.

Functionality Added or Changed

  •  The restore operation can restore to a different schema.

Bugs Fixed

  •  MySQL Workbench now builds on Debian 7.0-unstable.
  •  Ubuntu 13.10 is now supported.
  •  Fedora 20 is now supported
  •  On Linux, the Cancel button was written as “Cance” on some systems, depending on the GTK theme used on the system.
  •  Sometimes, when exporting an EER diagram to SQL, the generated SQL code did not include “DROP SCHEMA” statements even with  the Generate DROP SCHEMA option checked.
  •  One tab could execute the query from a different tab, after swapping tabs.
  •  On Linux, building MySQL Workbench from source would generate many glib related warnings with newer versions of glib.
  •  After creating a new view inside a model, clicking Add View would display a new view in the editor this new could not be saved.
  •  The –routines command line option was missing from the generated mysqldump command when multiple schemas were selected for a dump into a single file backup when the routines option was enabled. This could happen after executing the dump multiple times.
  •  Executing Model, Forward Engineering with the Do not create users, only export privileges option enabled would recreate the user instead of simply changing privileges for the existing user.
  •  On Linux, renaming foreign keys and indexes would crash MySQL Workbench.
  •  On Mac OS X, switching colors with layers and tables several times could eventually cause a crash.
  •  Adding a new table to an empty EER diagram would crash MySQL Workbench.
  •  When building from source and without building the documentation, the documentation link will open the online MySQL Workbench manual.
  •  The Inserts tab under Forward Engineering would sometimes unexpectedly fail.
  •  The ENUM type now corresponds better to its definition better under Model, User Defined Types, to allow arguments.
  •  On Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, the bundled PyCrypto library was upgraded to version 2.6.1.
  •  MySQL Workbench could crash when using a MySQL connection that connects via an SSH tunnel with success, but is defined using incorrect MySQL server credentials. A dialog now requests the correct information.
  •  The catalog treeview for an EER diagram was replaced by a central control with improved handling, which allows MySQL Workbench  to worth more smoothly with a large number of tables.
  •  Indexes that were auto-created for a Foreign Key can now be deleted in case another suitable index was available.
  •  Under certain scenarios, the File, Print to File… action would not allow models to be unchecked.
  •  Model synchronization would complete, but if repeated then MySQL Workbench would ask to update the database again.
  •  Changing the collation type would not always be detected, as “No changes detected” would be reported after attempting to apply the change.
  •  The MySQL Forums link on the MySQL Workbench home page was updated, and it now links to a MySQL Workbench page that also  links to the MySQL Workbench – Database Migration forum, when before it was difficult to find.
  •  From Database, Reverse Engineer, and after selecting a schema with multiple tables, clicking the left or right arrow buttons with the Show Filter feature to include/exclude tables would lose the cursor position, and always move the cursor to the top of the list.
  •  For models, tables can now be renamed by double-clicking the name column, and the columns edited.
  •  A large SQL script file could not be saved for a model, although a limit of around 200MB limit still exists.
  •  MySQL Workbench could crash after choosing Recover when prompted to recover a model file from a previous session after MySQL Workbench was not closed properly.
  •  Applying an large SQL Script object to a model could crash MySQL Workbench.
  •  The “Scratch” SQL editor tabs were removed, and instead standard SQL editor tabs are always opened.
  •  Editing a mandatory relationship now updates the referenced column.
  •  The Copy and Paste keyboard shortcut did not always function from within table cells in all environments.
  •  The Schema Privileges tab was hidden in the Schema editor, and is now more viewable.
