Changes in MySQL Workbench 6.3.6 (2015-12-15)

    Functionality Added or Changed

      * On OS X, the multiple object selector was disabled in the
        model overview. (Bug #22265928)

      * On Linux, Fedora 23 is now supported. (Bug #22146526, Bug
        #79101)

      * The "mysql_old_password
        (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/old-client.html)"
        protocol is no longer supported by Workbench, as its
        support was removed in MySQL Server 5.7. This affects the
        former "Use old authentication protocol" option from the
        "Advanced" configuration tab. This option has now been
        removed. (Bug #22093548, Bug #78947)

      * Management operations when using an SSH MySQL Server
        connection that authenticated using a password (and not
        SSH keys) would not function. (Bug #22047602)

      * The File, New Query option no longer requires an open
        MySQL connection. (Bug #21879064)

      * The MySQL Firewall tab is now disabled when the Firewall
        user is being created. (Bug #21150265)

    Bugs Fixed

      * Setting the MySQL Firewall mode to "PROTECTING" for a
        user without defined rules would emit an unhandled
        exception. (Bug #22294174)

      * Improvements were made to the Microsoft SQL Server 2008
        migration wizard. (Bug #22271597)

      * On OS X, the MySQL Firewall management option was missing
        from the commercial edition builds. (Bug #22270244)

      * After editing the code of a routine and closing the
        routine editor, the changed routine was duplicated
        instead of applying the changes to the original routine
        object. (Bug #22269199)

      * The JSON Data Field Value Editor functionality was
        improved, and bugs were fixed. Workbench 6.3.5 had known
        limitations. (Bug #22265214, Bug #22337871)

      * On Linux, the MySQL Firewall installation checked the
        path /usr/share/ instead of /usr/share/mysql/. (Bug
        #22263249)

      * For Online Backup, the Fix Grants for MEB function would
        not create the MySQL Enterprise Backup user account. (Bug
        #22258080)

      * The SSL results page listed the "-" character as "_" for
        the SSL certificate file names. (Bug #22243210)

      * Exporting a database from the Data Export wizard did not
        function with remote connections. (Bug #22233795)

      * The libzip library was updated; Workbench can now be
        installed on Ubuntu 15.10. (Bug #22230416, Bug #79320)

      * After initially altering a table using the Alter Table,
        subsequent alterations to the same table in the same
        screen, without having closed the screen, would not
        always complete, as the previous alterations were applied
        again. For example, it might attempt to add a column that
        was already added, or remove a column that was already
        deleted. (Bug #22202325, Bug #79265)

      * Workbench did not recognize identifiers with a leading
        digit if it was preceded by a dot. (Bug #22193758, Bug
        #79247)

      * After creating a table, editing the table in the same tab
        would yield an error after clicking Apply. (Bug
        #22178996, Bug #79199)

      * Clicking Apply a second time while performing an Alter
        Table operation would emit a "No Changes Detected"
        message, despite changes being present. (Bug #22169405,
        Bug #79164)

      * The MySQL connection search field's background and text
        were both white, making it difficult to decipher. (Bug
        #22168697, Bug #79159)

      * On Windows 10, and with resolutions of 1366x768 and
        below, the default table editor window did not show the
        table columns.
        As a workaround, the output pane could be resized or
        hidden. (Bug #22168049, Bug #79160)

      * The "BY" keyword is now supported. (Bug #22151204, Bug
        #79121)

      * The MySQL Enterprise Backup binary can now be configured
        per MySQL connection, to match the correct version needed
        by the connected MySQL server. Before, only one MySQL
        Enterprise Backup binary could be used for all
        connections. (Bug #22143844, Bug #79108)

      * Compiling Workbench now requires Connector/C++ 1.1.7 or
        higher, as this is the first Connector/C++ release that
        supports JSON. (Bug #22141269, Bug #79054)

      * On the Server Logs management tab, the Copy and Copy
        Details options were switched. (Bug #22139172, Bug
        #79082)

      * The Error Logs management tab showed a MySQL Firewall
        button within the community edition. (Bug #22139172, Bug
        #79082)

      * Attempting to install MySQL Enterprise Firewall would
        fail with the following error: "Unhandled exception: type
        object 'FileUtils' has no attribute
        'check_file_readable'".
        As a workaround, execute a xyz_install_firewall.sql
        script that is bundled with MySQL Server. (Bug #22138989,
        Bug #79083)

      * The Alter Table tool did not function with partitioned
        tables. (Bug #22135172, Bug #79070)

      * The preference windows could not be resized. (Bug
        #22121297, Bug #79022)

      * The USE statement result was not preserved in the SQL
        editor, which sometimes led to unknown errors when
        executing multiple statements. (Bug #22106190, Bug
        #78985)

      * After placing a new table on an EER diagram, and
        double-clicking on the new table, the column fields were
        hidden. (Bug #22090203, Bug #78931)

      * "ALTER PROCEDURE" changes were not detected by Workbench
        6.3.5.
        As a workaround, the SQL Editor could be used to decorate
        the "CREATE PROCEDURE" code with delimiters. (Bug
        #22084956, Bug #78924)

      * Workbench 6.3.5 would fail to export MySQL Server 5.6 and
        below, due to changes present in MySQL Server 5.7.
        As a workaround, a MySQL 5.6 version of mysqldump could
        be used. (Bug #22060729)

      * The modeling table editor did not list the JSON data type
        in the dropdown select list, nor did it accept it
        manually. Importing a JSON column from a live database
        worked, but creating/assigning the JSON type in the
        editor was not possible. (Bug #22060699, Bug #22116098,
        Bug #79012)

      * Reverse Engineering a database that contained JSON data
        (columns) failed, and crashed Workbench. (Bug #22053512)

      * The Validate option was missing from the JSON field
        value's editor. (Bug #22052957)

      * The Grid and Tree tabs would interfere with each other in
        the JSON Data Field Value Editor. (Bug #22052934)

      * When using a remote connection, clicking the wrench icon
        next to a table name in the object browser would cause a
        crash. (Bug #22052557)

      * From Models, Create EER Model From Script, importing a
        script would close the diagram instead of creating the
        model. (Bug #22048218)

      * The MySQL Firewall installation wizard did not function.
        (Bug #22047561)

      * The data migration wizard did not always function with
        BLOB data. (Bug #22046141)

      * On Linux, with the commercial edition, the Online Backup
        log window's status log would not always update. (Bug
        #22027353)

      * Attempting to add comments to stored procedures would
        fail with invalid syntax errors. (Bug #21941439, Bug
        #78683)

      * The Action Output auto-scrolling failed to function after
        clicking inside the action log. (Bug #21930774, Bug
        #78648)

      * The Table Data Import wizard failed to import large
        integers. They are now properly detected and assigned as
        BIGINT. (Bug #21896324)

      * Whitespace is now trimmed from the MySQL Connection
        fields. (Bug #21865018, Bug #78471)

      * The MySQL Server start and stop management operations
        would generate unhandled exceptions. (Bug #21861171)

      * With MySQL Server 5.7.8+ connections, the login name
        (username) can now be 32 characters in length. (Bug
        #21848065)

      * The Copy All Field Names action would insert extra
        (repeated) column names. (Bug #21760124, Bug #78280)

      * The SYS Schema could not be installed using a remote
        MySQL Server connection. (Bug #21661235)

      * The SHOW GRANTS statement would be seen as invalid
        syntax. (Bug #21520434, Bug #77868)

      * Generated columns(a feature added in MySQL 5.7) were not
        fully supported in the SQL editor, Table Editor, nor
        Modeling interface. (Bug #21505058, Bug #77837)

      * The bundled OpenSSL library was upgraded to version
        1.0.1p. (Bug #21438134)

      * When adding stored procedures to a Routine Group,
        Workbench would sometimes append "_SYNTAX_ERROR" to the
        procedures. (Bug #21174637, Bug #77197)

      * Several behavioral improvements were made to Workbench
        for when the MySQL Server connection is down. (Bug
        #21131790)

      * SQL auto-completion would sometimes show unavailable
        columns. (Bug #21046868, Bug #76954)

      * Including a model (via File, Include Model) generated a
        window that was too small. (Bug #20956593)

      * When editing a MySQL Server connection, pressing Enter
        under Server Connection, Advanced, Others, could shutdown
        Workbench. (Bug #20930014)

      * On Windows, the Vertical Output tab failed to close. (Bug
        #20834266, Bug #76590)

      * The performance_schema_max_sql_text_length and
        max_digest_length options were not displayed under the
        Options File tab. These variables dictate how queries
        under Statement Analysis are truncated. (Bug #20671061,
        Bug #76223)

      * Resizing the New Job window in the Online Backup
        management tool would show a floating text box. (Bug
        #20631601, Bug #76110)

      * On Fedora 21, Locate Log Files and Show Log File did not
        function due to an underlining Fedora 21 glib issue. (Bug
        #20609499, Bug #76066)

      * On OS X with multiple displays present, the SQL
        auto-complete box would always show on the main display,
        even if Workbench was on the secondary display. The
        underlining Scintilla library was updated to solve this
        problem. (Bug #20341650, Bug #75460)

      * Workbench would report SQL syntax errors for subqueries
        using multiple parentheses. (Bug #20330840, Bug #75462)

      * Saving a model file with non-ASCII characters in the name
        would crash Workbench, and renaming a file using
        non-ASCII characters would rename the file using the .bak
        file extension. (Bug #20328493, Bug #75455)

      * On Windows, the MySQL Workbench application is now
        associated to files with the .sql extension. (Bug
        #20326058, Bug #75453)

      * Scheduled incremental backups would not function if the
        file path contained spaces. (Bug #20254772, Bug #75092)

      * The Check for Update functionality did not detect newer
        Workbench versions for the commercial edition. (Bug
        #20167571, Bug #75132)

      * With incremental backups, TTS usage was attempted with
        the Use Transportable Tablespaces option disabled. This
        resulted in an error. (Bug #20098272)

      * Workbench's Alter Table functionality did not detect
        changes to fractional seconds. (Bug #19774377, Bug
        #74254)
