Changes in MySQL Workbench 6.3.5 (2015-10-21)

Known limitations:

* The new JSON editor is in an early state, and has a
number of usability issues.

* The table editor in a MySQL Workbench model does not
allow the JSON data type. The table editor in the SQL
Editor is not affected.

* Model synchronization fails to function for tables with
JSON columns.

* The MySQL migration wizard will not function with MySQL
Server 5.7 as the source database. However, MySQL Server
5.7 can be the target database.

* The bundled mysqldump tool fails to create dumps for
MySQL Server 5.6 and earlier. To work around this
limitation, set an explicit mysqldump binary in the
Workbench preferences under Administration -> Data Export
and Import -> Path to mysqldump Tool. Use one from MySQL
Server 5.6.

Functionality Added or Changed

* A JSON viewer/editor was added in the field editor for
result sets.

Bugs Fixed

* Executing Create EER Model from Database with Place
imported objects on a diagram enabled would not always
create the diagram. (Bug #22046248)

* On OS X 10.11, a newly opened EER diagram was not always
viewable. A workaround was to either scroll or resize the
EER diagram window. (Bug #22016760, Bug #78829)

* MySQL Workbench commercial edition now checks MySQL
Enterprise Backup compatibility with MySQL 5.7 when using
the Online Backup and Restore features. MySQL Enterprise
Backup 4.0 and above is required with MySQL 5.7 and
above. (Bug #21972677)

* On Windows, connecting via RDP to Workbench with a model
would cause MySQL Workbench to crash. (Bug #21951171)

* On Windows with the firewall enabled, either editing a
current user or creating a new user from the Users and
Privileges tab would crash after clicking Apply. (Bug
#21866290)

* Under Server Status, the reported Disk Space in Data Dir
was limited to "1.00 TB", even if more space was
available. (Bug #21833382)

* The SQL parser and grammar was updated; some queries
would emit bogus errors, although they would execute with
success. For example, queries with syntax such as "ALTER
TABLE foo MODIFY COLUMN bar VARCHAR(10)" and "ALTER TABLE
foo MODIFY bar INT NOT NULL". (Bug #21776051, Bug
#20116935, Bug #77549, Bug #75048)

* On Windows, creating blocked statements (such as
BEGIN...END) with auto-complete activated would cause
MySQL Workbench to emit an unhandled exception (Bug
#21774642, Bug #77488)

* On Linux, dragging a routine to a Routine Group did not
function. (Bug #21770594, Bug #78299)

* Opening Open Value in Viewer to view the contents of BLOB
and string types would sometimes crash MySQL Workbench.
(Bug #21746985, Bug #75516)

* An SSH timeout option was added, under the Others
preferences panel. (Bug #21690190)

* After opening a model file, after choosing Preferences,
Others, checking (enabling) Allow more than one instance
of MySQL Workbench to run, clicking OK would crash MySQL
Workbench. (Bug #21666322)

* On Windows 10, MySQL Workbench failed with an error
similar to "The type initializer for
'HtmlRenderer.Utils.FontsUtils' threw an exception". The
HtmlRenderer.dll DLL was updated with a fix. (Bug
#21642135, Bug #75344)

* Clicking Cancel when using the Table Import wizard would
emit an error, although the import process continued.
(Bug #21610117, Bug #78013)

* On OS X, the Rescan for local MySQL instances operation
was not discovering local MySQL server connections. (Bug
#21605220, Bug #77989)

* On Windows, and when connecting to MySQL Server 5.7.8 or
higher, the Server Logs did not properly display the
MySQL error logs, and it instead referred to a file named
"stderr" that could not be found. This is because the
error log is now written to the Windows Event Log. (Bug
#21566823, Bug #77958)

* Executing Control + W to close all tabs, and then
executing it again (with all tabs already closed), would
emit a Null Pointer Exception. (Bug #21543454, Bug
#77906)

* When creating new user privileges with access to All
Schemas (via the % wildcard), the resulting user record
in mysql.db was created with an asterisk (*) in
mysql.db.Host and mysql.db.Db instead of using %,
resulting in inability to connect to the database.
As a workaround, you could have executed queries such as
"UPDATE mysql.db SET Host='%', Db='%' WHERE User 'MyNewUserName'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;". (Bug #21529564, Bug
#77865)

* Several grammar and spelling fixes were made in the GUI.
(Bug #21526053)

* With MySQL not running, the MySQL Enterprise Backup
Restore option would emit an unhandled exception, and it
was unable to execute restore operations. (Bug #21496671,
Bug #21619525)

* Expanding the schema tree for a database that contained a
large number of tables, such as 20,000 tables, would
cause a crash. (Bug #21490728, Bug #77801)

* The Table Data Import wizard failed to import data into
an existing table when a DECIMAL column was used. (Bug
#21461807, Bug #77739)

* Importing a DBDesigner4 schema would sometimes fail, and
cause a crash. (Bug #21429693, Bug #77688)

* After opening a model's EER diagram for the first time,
opening the Preferences menu would immediately cause
MySQL Workbench to crash, due to some parts being
uninitialized. (Bug #21395988, Bug #77662)

* When copying elements from one diagram to another, the
style attributes were not copied, although the position
of the elements were retained. (Bug #21384159, Bug
#77640)

* The Performance and Firewall options were missing from
the Server menu in the commercial edition. (Bug
#21379250)

* The Unlock the Audit log procedure in the Audit Inspector
would sometimes fail due to malformed XML. (Bug
#21379224)

* Sometimes Startup / Shutdown management would ignore the
system's profile and use default commands to start and
stop the MySQL server. (Bug #21357438)

* On Linux, with the commercial edition, MySQL Workbench
did not delete the cron job after the scheduled online
backup was deleted. (Bug #21312652)

* On Ubuntu 15.04, MySQL Workbench threw a lot of
GLib-GObject warnings. (Bug #21292286, Bug #77420)

* Forward Engineering would sometimes append "COMMENT ''"
to field and index definitions. (Bug #21278452, Bug
#21429688, Bug #21390162, Bug #77400, Bug #77685, Bug
#77644)

* Making an SSH connection to a server where the
fingerprint was not in the known_hosts file, clicking
Test Connection under Remote Management would freeze
MySQL Workbench. (Bug #21264620)
References: This bug was introduced by Bug #21122128.

* The Data Export wizard failed to include date information
when the JSON export type was used instead of CSV. (Bug
#21259942, Bug #77364)

* With the commercial edition, setting up a new Online
Backup profile would display an "Error Configuring
Backup" error after entering in details, such as the
MySQL Enterprise Backup executable path and backup home
directory, and then clicking Ok. The settings would not
save due to UTF-8 conversion failures in the
mysqlwbmeb.py helper file. (Bug #21255978)

* When importing JSON, the Table Data Import wizard would
fail at the Configure Import Settings step, and emit
"Can't analyze file, please try to change encoding
type...". (Bug #21252834, Bug #77335)

* After exporting a database with no-create-info checked,
the import operation would fail to import it. (Bug
#21250323, Bug #71393)

* In the Table Data Import wizard, the Field Separator
dropdown in the Configure Import Settings operation did
not list the "," (comma) character. (Bug #21240249)

* From the Table Data Import wizard, switching the line
endings from the Configure Import Settings screen, and
then switching it back, would cause the table columns to
be displayed on a single line. (Bug #21240215)

* Improved integer and number recognition for data
import/export with CSV files. (Bug #21240092)

* In the commercial edition, the Audit Log Inspector logo
was broken. (Bug #21236152, Bug #77302)

* With the commercial edition, clicking Firewall after
stopping the MySQL Server would emit the following
unhandled exception: "'NoneType' object has no attribute
'find'". (Bug #21236051, Bug #77304)

* The validate_password plugin options are no longer
visible in the Options File editor when the plugin is not
enabled. (Bug #21187942)

* With MySQL server not running, and with a MySQL
Enterprise Backup configuration file missing, attempting
to open either the Online Backup or Restore tabs would
throw an unhandled exception. (Bug #21161660)

* On Fedora, executing Help, Locate Log File / Show Log
File would fail to function, due to an underlining
problem with glib 2.44. For additional information, see
Fedora bug #1175719. (Bug #21113811)

* In the Audit Inspector, executing Select or Deselect from
the Show Columns context-menu would fail to function.
(Bug #20956668)

* Several buttons and text boxes were not always located in
the correct location. (Bug #20929972)

* On OS X, the Shift + Alt + Arrow combination would select
individual characters instead of whole words. (Bug
#20797766, Bug #76526)
References: This bug is a regression of Bug #50085.

* When executing Start Command Line Client, entering the
incorrect MySQL password would immediately close the
Window. Now, an error is displayed before the window is
closed. (Bug #20737515)

* The VARBINARY type could not be edited in the results
view grid. Clicking Apply to execute the change would
emit an error. (Bug #20735501, Bug #76386)

* On Windows, SSH connections would fail when connecting to
a server with pageant running. (Bug #20652700, Bug
#76168)

* The MySQL server connection would sometimes timeout
(error 10060) while processing the result set when
combined with a large number or rows (e.g., 10,000) and
an SSH tunneled MySQL connection. (Bug #20639995, Bug
#74557)

* The Action Output query tooltip would sometimes display
information about the wrong query. (Bug #20535654, Bug
#75877)

* On Windows, a scheduled incremental MySQL Enterprise
Backup backup job would always choose the latest backup
as the base for the backup instead of using the last
successful backup. This meant that after a failed backup,
future incremental backups would fail until the next
successful full backup. (Bug #20533780)

* The Catalog Tree would truncate table names at around 20
characters. (Bug #20122059, Bug #74995)

* The Table Inspector could fail if the schema name
contained a dash. (Bug #20007660, Bug #74788)

* The bundled SSH library (paramiko) was not capable of
supporting the key exchange algorithm (ecdsa) added in
OpenSSL 6.7. (Bug #20003201, Bug #74658)

* When a connection to a MySQL server instance through a
SSH Tunnel, MySQL Workbench failed to recognize the
server fingerprints stored in the .ssh/known_hosts file,
and claimed that the server authenticity could not be
established. Clicking Continue also caused the current
fingerprint to be removed, after which MySQL Workbench
froze.
Also, due to a bug in the underlining paramiko library,
if a server supported ECDSA and RSA, paramiko would first
try to use RSA and, as such, not use ECDSA. For
information about this bug, see
https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/243. (Bug
#19714350, Bug #74160)

* The import and export process did not always function
with network folders. (Bug #19443451, Bug #73575)
