Dear MySQL users,

the MySQL Developer Tools team has released the second Release Candidate
build of the MySQL Workbench project.

MySQL Workbench is a next-generation visual database design application
that can be used to efficiently design, manage and document database
schemata. For more information about the MySQL Workbench project please
visit the MySQL Workbench Developer Central site at

     http://dev.mysql.com/workbench/

For screenshots please browse to
     http://dev.mysql.com/workbench/?page_id=35


The team has managed to fix 6 bugs since the last release 03/17/2008.
Further improvements have been made, including improved loading times
for Models with large diagrams, colors of figures used on different
diagrams can be synced now, the “pick columns” option of
Relationship-tools  is a seperate tool now (used to create connections
using already existing columns), we added a all new GRT Scripting IDE to
create/modify/manage plugin scripts.

For a detailed change log please browse to
