September we launched a competition to search for bugs in our two GU= I Tools, the MySQL Administrator and the MySQL Migration Toolkit. Both tools were then released as Release Candidates, indicating all the ser= ious bugs were fixed, but we didn't want to declare anything stable just from ou= r own perspective. We recognize the huge value our community can provide us through helping to verify our quality really is what users expect it to be. The Bug-Search competition attracted a huge interest, and we are extremely thankful for all the effort you made in helping out in this stabilization initiative. During 3+ months we received about 150 MySQL Administrator bug reports and almost 20 MySQL Migration Toolkit bug reports. Out of these we = have fixed all significant ones (all in all way over 120 bugfixes), and often yo= ur detailed bug-reports made it much easier to dig down to the root cause of e= ach problem. As we tracked the active bug-reporting and fixed all significant ones, we noticed how the types of problems our users encountered gradually became le= ss and less severe. Consequently, at this point in time, we have now reached a good feeling about the quality of the tools, and it feels great to trust th= e quality of the two tools to the extent that we now can declare them product= ion quality and GA. The new MySQL Administrator 1.2.8 and MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.1.8 are included in the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle for 5.0 Release 8, and are now avail= able from our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.htm= l At MySQL we are committed to quality, and we are glad for all the help you = have provided in making these important tools stable. As promised we are rewarding some of the most active bug-submitters, and so= me bug-submitters who demonstrated good quality in their bug reports and in th= e follow up with us. The following persons will be sent an Apple iPod Nano, a= s a small Christmas present, and as a demonstration of gratitude for the help w= e got from all of you: * Heinz Schweitzer * Andreas P=C3=A5hlsson * "Yahoo Serious" * Cezary Okupski * Mick Francis Congratulations and thank you very much to you and all other bug-submitters= ! Please keep up the good work =E2=80=94 we appreciate it.
