MySQL Workbench 5.1.7 Alpha for Linux and OS X released

Dear MySQL users,

finally it's time to publish new material to show what we were up to
in the past weeks. This time we have the first "dual-platform-release"
of MySQL Workbench 5.1.7 alpha version - we published binaries for
linux and OS X along with the source package (also containing sources
for both platforms).
Please note, that in terms of UI linux- and OS X- versions aren't yet
on the same level of completeness. While we are nearly done having all
features onboard for the linux-build, we still have some more checkmarks
to fill on the osx checklist - but we are catching up.
For the Linux version printing is the biggest feature that is still  
missing
(but you can already export PDFs of course). The Mac version has mostly
been improved in terms of stability. This second alpha for Mac is still
Intel only, but we are already preparing for building universal binaries
from next release on.

A big "thank you" to all folks helping with trying our work-in-progress-
versions, reporting problems, building the source on different distros  
and
letting us know how it works out.

Please don't use this yet on your production-level-files, as it's
still considered an alpha release!

Some of you might be missing a release - 5.1.6 for Linux. No, you didn't
miss an announcement: For the purpose of unifying the releases for Linux
and Mac we simply didn't publish 5.1.6 last week. It was considered an
internal release only and now we're going public with alpha version  
5.1.7
for both Linux and OS X.

If you need any help don't hesitate to contact us. Keep an eye on our
development page http://wb.mysql.com where we post news and additional
infos about our progress.

Have fun!
Johannes
