MySQL Workbench now supports macOS 10.14 Mojave, including full compatibility with the Dark Mode color scheme. (Bug #28831956, Bug #92902, WL #12402)
The Adv. Find tab operation that searched an open EER diagram by database objects only was removed. (Bug #28740047)
All editions of MySQL Workbench and the bundled libraries were upgraded to use OpenSSL 1.0.2q. (Bug #28695759)
Keyboard access was added to the home screen tab to enable navigation using the Tab and Enter keys. In addition, the screen view now scrolls to display a selected item if the item was off-screen when highlighted with the Tab key.
On Windows and Linux hosts, the Application key and Ctrl+F10 now open a menu of commands (context menu) related to the selection. (WL #12381)
Two redundant features were removed from all platforms:
The connection information pop-up sheet on the home screen tab
Instead, open
from the menu (or from the context menu of each connection) to view connection details.The merge icon (two arrows pointing at each other) located in the Navigation area of the side panel
Content from the Administration and Schemas tabs were merged or split when this icon was toggled. Now, the administration section links and schema tree appear in separate tabs only.

Connections made to a remote MySQL server over SSH did not recover properly after the network was interrupted temporarily. (Bug #28806660, Bug #90884)

query and
results, but the query text did not line up along the left

Context-menu actions (
, , or ) when applied to an open SQL editor tab caused the tab to close unexpectedly on Linux. (Bug #28721377)The color used to highlight a query in the SQL editor was the same color used for the text, which made the selected query appear to be missing when it was highlighted. (Bug #28691256, Bug #92535, Bug #28715080)
The
action from the menu returned an error instead of opening the MySQL bug database on macOS systems. (Bug #28612380, Bug #92327)The last file selected from a previous directory during any browse operation was carried over after navigating to a new directory and without selecting a new file from the directory. Files now must be selected explicitly within the browse dialog box. (Bug #28608962, Bug #92104)
Some columns within a Microsoft SQL Server database table were not migrated as expected. The operation returned an error when copying mixed data types. (Bug #27838190, Bug #84777)

Thereafter, no additional queries could run and the program would not exit. (Bug #25965655, Bug #86090)
The Migration Wizard was unable to retrieve a schema list from source when the source RDBMS was Microsoft SQL Server and a valid FreeTDS driver (required by Linux) was provided. (Bug #25457611)
