Shortly after I posted my last summary of MySQL releases, our son Mats was born and I went on a 2.5-week vacation. Our developers did not rest in the meanwhile and I'd like to give you a quick update of what's new since then:
MySQL Connector/Net 6.3.0
- Visual Studio 2010 RC support
- Nested transaction scope support
MySQL Workbench 5.2.16 Beta 6
- Fixed 67 bugs
- Saving your profile/connection passwords in OSX keychain, gnome-keyring or in an encrypted password-vault-file.
- New rapid development features for generating complete SQL Select/DML statements or names for selected objects in Query Editor to either the query area or clipboard.
- The ability to set a preference for the placement (left or right side) of the sidebar in the Query Editor (Currently on Windows only, coming to Mac and Linux soon).
- Further optimization and stabilization of the administrator components
MySQL Server 5.1.44
- This release now includes InnoDB Plugin version 1.0.6, wich is considered to be of Release Candidate (RC) quality.

MySQL Server 5.5.2 Milestone 2
- Also includes the updated InnoDB Plugin 1.0.6 and several fixes - see the ChangeLog for details. For an overview of new features in the 5.5 code base, check out the "What's new in 5.5" page in the reference manual.
Please note that the MySQL downloads section has been split into two parts. As usual, you will find downloads of both GA and development versions of all MySQL products and releases on the MySQL DevZone. In addition to that, we've now added a pointer to the downloads of officially released (GA) versions to the main web site on http://www.mysql.com/downloads/.
