MySQL Notifier 1.1.6 has been released

[Karen Langford]

Dear MySQL users,

The MySQL Windows Experience Team is proud to announce the release of
MySQL Notifier version 1.1.6, the latest addition to the MySQL
Installer for Windows.

MySQL Notifier enables developers and DBAs to easily monitor, start and
stop all their MySQL database instances. It provides a familiar
Microsoft SQL Server look and feel and integrates with MySQL Workbench.

MySQL Notifier is installed using the MySQL Installer for Windows.

The MySQL installer comes in 2 versions

- Full (150 MB) which includes a complete set of mysql products with
  their binaries included in the download

or

- Web (1.5 MB - a network install) which will just pull the MySQL
  Notifier over the web and install it when run.


You can download MySQL Installer from our official Downloads page at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/.

Changes in MySQL Notifier 1.1.6 (2014-09-22)

   Bugs Fixed

     * A "High Severity Error" was thrown when restarting Notifier if
       MySQL services/products had been removed while Notifier was
       not running. (Bug #19439604, Bug #73576)

     * A "High Severity Error" was thrown when a my.ini file for a
       monitored MySQL instance was deleted. (Bug #19422802, Bug
       #73539)

     * Available updates detected by MySQL Installer were not being
       communicated back to MySQL Notifier. Now, the Notifier
       correctly displays notifications for available updates. (Bug
       #19219905)

     * MySQL Notifier would fail to start when a monitored service
       name contained the string "MySQL" since it was being treated
       as a MySQL server service. Now, the detection of MySQL
       services has been fixed to select real MySQL server services.
       (Bug #19078684, Bug #73135)

     * Removing MySQL Workbench's connections from within Workbench,
       or by deleting the MySQL Workbench connections.xml file, now
       removes those MySQL connections from the SQL editor sub menus
       of corresponding monitored services in MySQL Notifier. (Bug
       #18163378)

     * Selecting Actions, Check for updates, and then No, would throw
       a "High Severity Error". (Bug #17858917)

     * MySQL Notifier now handles Fabric, Fabric managed, and unknown
       connections, in the instances dialog. Fabric connections are
       not shown, "Fabric Managed" connections are shown in the
       Manage Instances dialog with "Type = Fabric Managed". MySQL
       Connections that do not use a native, SSH, socket, or Fabric
       driver are treated as unknown and not shown.
