MySQL GUI Tools for 5.0 Release 15 for Windows available for download

Dear MySQL users,

right on time for year's end there is a new release of the popular  
MySQL GUI Tools package. With this release we also changed our source  
code management system and published all code on Launchpad.net. We are  
now using Bazaar (as we do for MySQL Workbench development) which  
allows decentralized development. The reason why we did it is that we  
want to let the community play a bigger part in the maintenance  
process of our GUI tools. You can now easily clone the branches using  
the built-in Launchpad plugin that comes with the Bazaar client using  
these commands:

bzr branch lp:mysql-administrator
bzr branch lp:mysql-querybrowser
bzr branch lp:mysql-migrationtool
bzr branch lp:mysql-gui-common

This direct access also makes it unnecessary to provide separate  
source packages, thus we will not update them anymore. All the GUI  
tools Launchpad projects are part of the MySQL super project which you  
can find at https://www.launchpad.net/mysql. They are mirrored from  
our main trees and you can use Launchpad to propose patches for  
merging which we will apply to the trees if they successfully go  
through our review. For bug reports we will continue to use the MySQL  
bug tracker.

In the GUI common folder there is now a file ("!How to build GUI  
tools.txt") which describes in detail what you need and how to build  
the GUI tools. Currently it contains only steps needed on Windows, so  
those for Linux and Mac still must be added yet.

For this release you can find the change log below. For those wanting  
to know more about the GUI tools in general a short description  
follows, which includes download and documentation links.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug fixes:
- Bug #35238    MySQL Query Browser crashes during export to Excel
- Bug #35382    Lock tables does not work - not even while using FLUSH  
TABLES WITH...
- Bug #29321    access violation / thread_cache_size
- Fixed reverse-engineering problem with Oracle databases related to  
access to (outdated) ANALYSE_SCHEMA function.

Changes:
- Migrated repositories from Subversion to Bazaar, solved issues due  
to missing files caused by subversion export.
- Reworked connection handling in Query Browser such that each tab  
page has now a persistent connection (used by all result set grids,  
explain pane, master-detail, compare etc. on that page). This allows  
for the use of connection specific features like user variables,  
without the need to start a transaction.
- Server ping happens now in a keep-alive-thread to avoid freezing the  
UI when the server disappears.
- Improved detection of manual transaction changes.
- Added detailed "How to build GUI tools" file (currently with  
description for Windows only).
- All 4 repositories (MySQL Administrator, MySQ Query Browser, MySQL  
Migration Toolkit, GUI common) are now mirrored on Launchpad.net.
