But beware, it's an early Alpha release! It includes basic functionality like loading/saving Models, import/export SQL files and a set of basic editors to model your data-structures. A couple of features are still missing and the UI from a lot of things is not done yet but its purpose is to give you a chance to experience how WB will look and feel on your Linux Desktop. We're releasing this as a source package and in binary form compiled on Ubuntu 8.04. There's a build-instructions page available for Ubuntu as well. For later releases we'll be providing more intructions/binary packages for several more distributions. For more information about the MySQL Workbench project please visit http://dev.mysql.com/workbench/ the official Developer Central site.

Please don't report any bugs yet or submit fixes because the project is still under heavy construction. You can find a list of stuff thats still missing/not yet working correctily in 5.1 on our WB5.1 Linux- status-page. WB 5.1 Linux-status-page http://dev.mysql.com/workbench/?page_id=155 There is a demo model included in the samples directory, sakila_full.mwb that should get you started. Other Platforms --------------- Work on the Mac UI will start once we have all BE features stabilized on Linux. Same for Solaris and Windows. As soon as we have all versions on the same level we will continue to add new features in parallel. Have fun!
