Mysql Workbench For Mac
MySQL Workbench Mac support has been requested from our community for a very long time. We got several emails and comments on the web and IRC channel that Workbench is the only tool why a lot of people are still running a VMware Fusion or Parallels session with Windows. Therefore we are very happy about the recent release of WB 5.1 Beta1 which is the first release that is available on our three main platforms, Windows, Mac & Linux. Those who have been giving MySQL Workbench 5.1 Beta1 on Mac OS X a try may have noticed the huge speed gain, compared to the Windows version, especially when working with bigger models. We even got complaints why we have “slowed down” the Windows version 🙂 but this is simply due to the GUI hardware acceleration support available on the Mac, as well as on Linux systems.
So for the moment (until we finally get to re-enable full OpenGL support) using the Mac version is the new benchmark of model rendering speed for MySQL Workbench projects. We are working hard to get closer to a WB 5.1 Release Candidate and plan to release the WB 5.1 Beta2 next week. It will include more than 30 bug fixes and improvements for the Mac UI.
Author Posted on Categories. Last week we had a team meeting, where we could discuss and plan various issues and ideas for current and upcoming versions of our project. But finally it’s time to publish new material to show what we were up to in the past weeks. We have our first dual-platform-release of the MySQL Workbench 5.1.7 alpha version. Please note, that in terms of UI linux- and OSX- version 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. Nevertheless it’s the same codebase – especially the backend-code is the same for all platforms.
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 OSX.

As noticed earlier, while the Linux version is closing in on features to be implemented (printing is the biggest feature that is still missing but you can already export PDFs of course) we improved Mac version in terms of stability. 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 for all folks helping with trying our work-in-progress version, reporting problems, building the source on different distros and letting us know how it works out. Fetch our latest packages from our official download page, install/build it and tell us your opinions and experiences on IRC (channel #workbench on irc.freenode.net), here on the blog-pages or simply using good old.
