Support EOL for Low Usage Platforms

Per the MySQL Support Lifecycle policy regarding ending support for OS versions that have little usage pattern, we plan to discontinue building all MySQL binaries for the following platforms.

As of February 1, 2010, these platforms will no longer be supported for MySQL versions 5.0 and higher.

Mac OS X for PowerPC
Due to low demand and fading vendor support. Note: Apple has dropped support for PowerPC in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Dropping PowerPC also falls in line with many other vendors such as Adobe. MySQL will focus on added support for latest Mac OS X releases
Linux Generic RPM for PowerPC
Due to very low demand this general Linux distribution has been dropped.
Linux Generic RPM built with icc (Intel compiler) for Itanium
Due to low demand and technical issues the general Linux RPM distribution created with the icc Intel compiler has been dropped.
Note: The gcc build for Itanium is recommended as the preferred alternative.
Generic Linux Build for S/390
Due to low demand.

Our platform support continues to evolve and we recently added following platforms to our officially supported list.

New - Windows 7, x86 and x86_64
New - Mac OS X 10.6, x86 and x86_64
New - HP-UX 11.31, Itanium build
New - SLES 11, x86 and x64

Old releases for the EOLed platforms listed above remain available for download from the MySQL Customer Support Center and we will continue to provide source code and limited support for customers who wish to build MySQL 5.0 and higher on these platforms.

EOL of MySQL Query Browser, MySQL Administrator, MySQL Migration Toolkit

With the beta releases of MySQL Workbench 5.2 well under way, we are announcing the EOL of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle.

The MySQL Tools team has been working on MySQL Workbench 5.2 to give DBAs and developers an integrated tools environment for:

Database Design & Modeling
SQL Development (replacing MySQL Query Browser)
Database Administration (replacing MySQL Administrator)

MySQL Workbench 5.2 also provides:

Remote Administration (using SSH-Tunneling)
Python scripting and plugins
Native GUI for Windows, Mac, Linux

A future release of MySQL Workbench (post 5.2) will add a migration plugin, providing features comparable to the MySQL Migration Toolkit component of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle. The MySQL Support team will continue to provide technical assistance for MySQL Migration Toolkit until such migration support functionality is released in MySQL Workbench, but no new development or bug fixes will be provided against the existing MySQL Migration Toolkit product.

MySQL Support will continue to answer questions and provide assistance related to MySQL GUI Tools Bundle, as well as assist our customers in upgrading from those tools to MySQL Workbench 5.2 until June 30, 2010.

Starting Dec 18, 2009, MySQL will no longer accept bug reports submitted against the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle, and existing bug reports against these tools will no longer be worked on. Users should instead download, use, and submit bug reports (where necessary) against MySQL Workbench. Downloads of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle will remain available, but will be moved into the MySQL Archives location.

Users should begin planning to upgrade to MySQL Workbench 5.2 GA.
