MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.2 m1 Development Release has been released

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.2 M1 is the first development release of the
MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0 series.  This series adds support for the
new X DevAPI. The X DevAPI enables application developers to write code
that combines the strengths of the relational and document models using
a modern, NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience
writing traditional SQL.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/. For more information about
how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL for Visual Studio, and its usage,
see http://dev.mysql.com/docs/refman-5.7/en/mysql-shell-visual-studio.html.

Please note that the X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version
5.7.12 or higher with the X Plugin enabled. For general documentation
about how to get started using MySQL as a document store, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/document-store.html.

Changes in MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.2 (2016-04-11, Milestone 1)

    Known limitation of this release: SSL connections are not yet
    supported.

    Functionality Added

      * Added support for Visual Studio 2015 with .NET Framework
        4.6.

      * Added support for Python scripts. Python code can now be
        executed and can interact with the X DevAPI introduced in
        MySQL 5.7.12, where relational and document data can be
        queried. Extended views (Field Types, Query Statistics and
        Execution Plan) are not available for Python in this version.

      * Added new result views for document-based (JSON) data
        returned by MySQL X, where data can be viewed in a grid,
        tree, or text representation.

      * Added a new Javascript query type, in addition to SQL
        type that was already present. JavaScript code can be
        executed and interact with the X DevAPI introduced in
        MySQL 5.7.12, where relational and document data can be
        queried. Extended views (Field Types, Query Statistics
        and Execution Plan) are not available for JavaScript in
        this version.

      * Enhanced the user interface for query scripts where
        different views for result sets returned by the MySQL
        Server are now available, similar to the ones in MySQL
        Workbench. For SQL scripts the available views are:

           + Results: shows returned data

           + Field Types: shows information about columns of a
             result set, such as names, data types, character
             sets, and more.

           + Query Statistics: shows information about the
             executed query, such as execution times, processed
             rows, index and temporary tables usage, and more.

           + Execution Plan: shows a text-view explanation of the
             query execution performed internally by the MySQL
             Server.

      * After MySQL scripts are executed, each result set
        returned by the MySQL Server is now displayed in a
        separate Results tab. In previous versions, only the last
        result set returned by MySQL Server was displayed in the
        Output tab.

      * Added an option to create MySQL scripts directly from a
        MySQL Server instance in the Server Explorer. This
        simplifies the process of creating scripts, as there is
        no longer a requirement to open a connection for each
        script like in previous versions of MySQL for Visual
        Studio.

    Bugs Fixed

      * Fixed the coloring of SQL code so it is readable on any
        VS color theme, like the "Dark" one.
