Functionality Added or Changed

• Added native migration support for PostgreSQL and Sybase ASE.

• Updated the bundled MySQL Utilities to version 1.1.0, which includes the new mysqluc console.

Bugs Fixed

• After right-clicking on a nonempty field in the SQL editor, and choosing Copy Row Content, pasting the row into an empty row (by right-clicking and choosing Paste Row) would not increment the row id when it was appropriate to do so. (Bug #14587186, Bug #66668)

• When a table from Microsoft SQL Server was migrated to MySQL, TEXT columns were mapped to VARCHAR(16). They are now mapped to LONGTEXT because Microsoft SQL Server TEXT columns have a maximum length of 2^31 - 1. (Bug #14556732, Bug #66584)

• The MySQL Workbench Data Export feature would fail to recognize tables that contained accented characters in the table's name. (Bug #14504342, Bug #66421)

• The object browser would not update the column order after a table was altered. (Bug #14495629, Bug #66232)

• On OS X systems with the Retina display, the mouse cursor would register incorrect mouse coordinates. (Bug #14396939, Bug #65607)

• Entering the caret ("^") character inside the SQL editor, followed by any other character, could cause MySQL Workbench to hang. This was a Scintilla bug that is now fixed. (Bug #13930994, Bug #64848)

• After choosing Alter Table, pressing Apply would cause MySQL Workbench to display "Preparing..." in the output panel, but it now displays "No changes detected." (Bug #13497239, Bug #63604)

• When synchronizing a model to a database after changing a field definition from NOT NULL DEFAULT x to NULL DEFAULT NULL, the model synchronization would correctly generate the SQL. But after executing this SQL and resynchronizing, MySQL Workbench would report that the table needed to be updated. (Bug #12756728, Bug #61720)
