MySQL Workbench 5.1 Alpha 1 for Linux Available

Dear MySQL users,
we’re proud to announce that we’ve just uploaded the first Linux-Alpha  
build for upcoming MySQL Workbench 5.1 for everyone to try. But  
beware, it’s an early Alpha release! It includes basic functionality  
like loading/saving Models, import/export SQL files and a set of basic  
editors to model your data-structures. A couple of features are still  
missing and the UI from a lot of things is not done yet but its  
purpose is to give you a chance to experience how WB will look and  
feel on your Linux Desktop.

We’re releasing this as a source package and in binary form compiled  
on Ubuntu 8.04. There’s a build-instructions
page available for Ubuntu as well. For later releases we’ll be  
providing more intructions/binary packages
for several more distributions. For more information about the MySQL  
Workbench project please visit

Please don’t report any bugs yet or submit fixes because the project

still missing/not yet working correctily in 5.1 on our WB5.1 Linux-

There is a demo model included in the samples directory,  
sakila_full.mwb that should get you started.

Other Platforms
---------------
Work on the Mac UI will start once we have all BE features stabilized  
on Linux. Same for Solaris and Windows. As soon as we have all  
versions on the same level we will continue to add new features in  
parallel.

Have fun!
Johannes
