MySQL Workbench 5.2.4 Alpha Available
October 7, 2009 – 3:27 pm by taxWe’re proud to announce the availability of the next Alpha release of MySQL Workbench 5.2.
This is the first release of WB 5.2 that enables part of the upcoming administrative feature set. The following tasks can be performed in the WB 5.2.4 release:
- Registration of Server Profiles
- Start/Stop of the MySQL Server
- Configuration File Edition (my.cnf / my.ini)
- Show Connections and Server-variables
Further we have added the long awaited SSH Tunnel features that enables MySQL connections to machines where only SSH access is available.
Select the new Connection Method “Standard TCP/IP over SSH” in the Connection Management dialog and fill out the SSH connection information.
More information about the new features is coming up here on our blog pages.
Please fetch your copy, try the new features and tell us if you like it or what we can improve. But keep in mind, that this is still an alpha version – so do not use it on production data! Also please note, MySQL Workbench files saved with version 5.2 cannot be opened with previous versions of our
program.
The files for several platforms have been pushed to our main server and should be available on our mirrors.
