MySQL Workbench 5.2.22 RC 2 Available

Dear MySQL Users,

We're happy to announce the second Release Candidate (RC) of MySQL Wo=
rkbench.=20
Version 5.2.22 includes fixes for 76 bugs.

In case you didn=92t know - MySQL Workbench is a modular product and =
is fully pluggable and scriptable. If you want to write a plug-in for=
 Workbench 5.2, then stay tuned as we will be updating the documentat=
ion in the next week with all the details and examples you need on ho=
w to write your own plug-ins.

Plug-ins are great for extending or adding to workbench or for automa=
ting repetitive tasks. You can do things like adding to menus, export=
ing your Workbench models custom tailored for your coding environment=
, adding your own forms, and more. Python is our preferred scripting =
language but for simple scripts the Lua language can be used as well.

The first plug-in we added is called MySQL Doc Library. It can be use=
d to read the MySQL Documentation offline and features many convenien=
t features such as full text search. Currently, only the MySQL Workbe=
nch manual is included, but material and features will be added over =
time.


MySQL Workbench 5.2 RC provides:

1. Data Modeling
2. Query (upgrade from MySQL Query Browser)
3. Admin (upgrade from MySQL Administrator)

if you are a current user of MySQL Query Browser or MySQL Administrat=
or, we look forward to your feedback on all the new capabilities we a=
re delivering in a single unified MySQL Workbench

wnload pages.
