Changes in MySQL Workbench 8.0.28 (2022-01-18, General Availability)

Functionality Added or Changed

  • All editions of MySQL Workbench and the bundled libraries were upgraded to use libssh 0.9.6. (Bug #33418517)

  • MySQL Workbench now supports the following platform versions: macOS 12, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2022.

Bugs Fixed

  • Before MySQL Workbench 8.0.27, a connection using SSL attempted to establish an encrypted connection by default if the server supported encrypted connections or to fall back to an unencrypted connection if an encrypted connection could not be established. The default behavior was changed in version 8.0.27 to always require SSL encryption, which could cause a connection test to fail if the server did not support encryption. In addition, the settable values for the Use SSL field no longer included No or If available.

    This fix restores the previous default behavior (If available) and also restores the full set of Use SSL values for establishing encrypted and unencrypted connections. (Bug #105327, Bug #33507869, Bug #105462, Bug #33541199)
