MySQL Workbench 6.2.4 GA has been released

Dear MySQL users,

The MySQL developer tools team announces 6.2.4 as our maintenance release 
for MySQL Workbench 6.2.

MySQL Workbench 6.2 is the new version for the official MySQL
graphical development tool.

MySQL Workbench 6.2 focuses on support for innovations released in MySQL
5.6 and MySQL 5.7 DMR (Development Release) as well as MySQL Fabric 1.5,
with features such as:

* A new spatial data viewer, allowing graphical views of result sets
   containing GEOMETRY data and taking advantage of the new GIS
   capabilities in MySQL 5.7.
* Support for new MySQL 5.7.4 SQL syntax and configuration options.
* Metadata Locks View shows the locks connections are blocked or waiting
   on.
* MySQL Fabric cluster connectivity - Browsing, view status, and connect
   to any MySQL instance in a Fabric Cluster.
* MS Access migration Wizard - easily move to MySQL Databases.


Other significant usability improvements were made, aiming to raise
productivity for advanced and new users:

* Direct shortcut buttons to commonly used features in the schema tree.
* Improved results handling. Columns have better auto-sizing and their
   widths are saved. Fonts can also be customized. Results "pinned" to
    persist viewing data.
* A convenient Run SQL Script command to directly execute SQL scripts,
   without loading them first.
* Database Modeling has been updated to allow changes to the formatting
   of note objects and attached SQL scripts can now be included in forward
   engineering and synchronization scripts.
* Integrated Visual Explain within the result set panel.
* Visual Explain drill down for large to very large explain plans.
* Shared SQL snippets in the SQL Editor, allowing multiple users to
   share SQL code by storing it within a MySQL instance.
* And much more.

The list of provided binaries was updated and MySQL Workbench binaries
now available for:

* Windows 7 32 and 64bits
* Mac OS X Lion or newer
* Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 64bits
* Fedora 20 64bits
* Oracle Linux 6.5 64bits
* Oracle Linux 7 64bits
* Sources for building in other Linux distributions. Pre-compiled binaries
   are no longer provided for 32bit Linux distributions, although users may
   still download and build from sources.

Note: Workbench for Windows requires Visual C++ Redistributable for
Visual Studio 2013, which can be downloaded from:

 Changes in MySQL Workbench 6.2.4               2014-11-20

    Functionality Added or Changed

      * A new advanced tab was added to the MySQL Enterprise
        Backup profile editor. These options are stored in the
        [mysqlbackup] section of the backup profile, which is
        used by the MySQL Enterprise Backup executable through
        the --defaults-file parameter. (Bug #19643172)

      * A new preference was added that defines whether pressing
        Tab inserts tab characters or spaces. (Bug #19598375, Bug
        #73189)

      * The EER diagram catalog browser now remembers view states
        on a per diagram basis. (Bug #19508483, Bug #72255)

      * A new Indentation section was added to the "General
        Editors" preferences. Included are options to set the
        indentation width and tab width. (Bug #17455648, Bug
        #70148)

      * Adding an SQL snippet now opens the snippet editor, when
        before it immediately added the snippet without a title
        or code review. (Bug #14724622, Bug #67085)

      * A new preference was added that limits the number of
        automatically opened SQL result sets for SELECT queries,
        which defaults to 50. Reaching this limit emits a
        warning.
        Before, executing a large number of SELECT queries (about
        800) at once would cause a fatal error after exceeding
        system CPU and memory limits. (Bug #12949811, Bug #62259)

      * A new Skip checking of Routine Definer option was added
        to the Catalog Diff Report wizard. This improves
        functionality for stored procedures and functions. (Bug
        #11764775, Bug #13418623, Bug #57645, Bug #63175)

      * Opening an SQL script no longer requires a MySQL
        connection. To do this, select Open SQL Script from the
        File navigation menu on the home page. (Bug #11757343,
        Bug #49377)

    Bugs Fixed

      * Inserting the locate() function inside another function
        would incorrectly report an SQL syntax error. (Bug
        #19856523, Bug #74439)

      * On Linux, the query result view did not populate with
        libglib version 2.42 and above. (Bug #19831054, Bug
        #74147)

      * Compiling MySQL Workbench would fail on Hurd, kFreeBSD,
        s390x, and ppc64el systems. (Bug #19806379, Bug #74241)

      * Double-clicking on an object in the schema navigator
        (except for the schema name) now populates the SQL editor
        area with the object name. This restores previous
        behavior. (Bug #19788017, Bug #74299)

      * Connections to remote hosts using the connection method
        "Standard TCP/IP over SSH" would fail with new versions
        (1.15+) of the paramiko library.
        A workaround was to downgrade the system's paramiko
        library. (Bug #19768621, Bug #74223)

      * Stored procedures that were identified as having syntax
        errors could not be saved. (Bug #19767233, Bug #74237)

      * MySQL Workbench generated incorrect UPDATE queries for
        tables without a Primary Key even where unique keys were
        present. (Bug #19711078, Bug #74140)

      * After typing Control + F and clicking Replace, the
        entered text of the replace string was not fully visible.
        (Bug #19690226, Bug #74088)

      * On Windows, "Beautify/reformat the SQL script" could
        cause MySQL Workbench to freeze. (Bug #19667130, Bug
        #74020)

      * The Find's Previous button would sometimes behave like
        the Next button. (Bug #19647189, Bug #73971)

      * Under Data Import/Restore, the "Enable Cleartext
        Authentication Plugin" option did not always function.
        (Bug #19598678, Bug #72433)

      * Under Users and Privileges, the text "Click the Drop
        button to completely remove the account" was changed to
        "Click the Delete button to completely remove the
        account". (Bug #19598511, Bug #73857)

      * A new Data Export preference was added that makes the
        CREATE DATABASE and USE statements optional in the
        generated output. (Bug #19598433, Bug #72599)

      * A new preference (checkbox) was added to optionally
        export triggers. (Bug #19598408, Bug #73718)

      * On Linux, the [x] button to close an SQL editor tab was
        missing if the required font package was not present on
        the system. Now, an image is used instead. (Bug
        #19598393, Bug #70993)

      * The SQL syntax checker would show errors for EXECUTE
        statements without the "using" keyword. (Bug #19560590,
        Bug #73804)

      * A new GTID_PURGED option was added under "Advanced
        options" to the Data Export wizard. (Bug #19528673)

      * There was a performance regression between 6.0 and
        6.1/6.2 when switching diagram tabs, loading the model,
        as also adding new tables. The Catalog Tree was
        refactored for increased performance. (Bug #19524441, Bug
        #69184)

      * Exporting an ALTER script using the Synchronize with Any
        Source wizard after making "Column Mapping" (table name)
        changes would incorrectly generate CHANGE COLUMN queries
        as "CHANGE COLUMN `newcolumnname` `newcolumnname`"
        instead of "CHANGE COLUMN `oldcolumnname`
        `newcolumnname`". (Bug #19500938, Bug #73644)

      * Attempting to execute a query with one SQL editor tab
        while another SQL editor tab was causing a metadata lock
        would freeze MySQL Workbench. (Bug #19444247, Bug #73574)

      * The Auto-save scripts interval preference did not
        function, as auto-save saved all connection and query
        tabs every 10 seconds regardless of this setting. (Bug
        #19201716, Bug #73178)

      * Attempting to add multiple entries using the results view
        "Form Editor" would fail and generate an exception unless
        Apply was clicked after each individual entry. (Bug
        #19185746, Bug #73253)

      * The Dashboard charts for Client Connections latest
        current value was always null, and the current, max, and
        limit values were overlapped. (Bug #18965879, Bug #72984)

      * The Server Status page did not recognize the enabled
        Memcached and Semi-Sync replication features. The status
        light for these features did not change from red to
        green. The System and Status Variables page reported the
        correct values for these features. (Bug #18703315, Bug
        #72531)

      * Custom user creation and MySQL Enterprise Backup was
        fixed to always function with a MySQL server started with
        the skip-name-resolve option. (Bug #17924757)

      * Clicking Cancel at the password prompt for a Navigator
        option, such as System Status, would emit an unhandled
        exception. (Bug #17651774)

      * The SQL CREATE Script for Selected Object window under
        Object Migration in the migration wizard was narrow, and
        was missing a slider. (Bug #14823142, Bug #67189)

      * Font selection and support was improved. Some fonts, such
        as Cyrillic fonts, were not displayed properly. (Bug
        #12951450, Bug #62328)

      * When generating default INSERTs code for tables in
        modeling, columns that are specified NOT NULL will now
        replace NULL column values with the DEFAULT keyword. (Bug
        #11762839, Bug #55483)
