Announcing the winners of the MySQL GUI Bug hunting contest

Posted by Lenz Grimmer on

Some time ago, our GUI tools development team started a contest to shake out the bugs in the MySQL GUI applications, especially the MySQL Administrator and the MySQL Migration Toolkit.

The contest ran for about 3 months and resulted in more than 170 bug reports, of which the team fixed all the significant ones (over 120) by now. This is quite impressive, especially considering the relatively small size of the GUI development team. I am very happy to see that the quality of these tools has been improved, they are quite useful, especially for users not keen on using the command line.

The new MySQL Administrator 1.2.8 and MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.1.8 have now been declared production quality (GA) are included in the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle 5.0 Release 8, which is now available from our download pages.

Today we announced the top 5 bug-reporters, which we will reward with an Apple iPod for their good bug reports:

  • Heinz Schweitzer
  • Andreas Påhlsson
  • "Yahoo Serious"
  • Cezary Okupski
  • Mick Francis

Congratulations to you and thank you very much for the excellent support! You and all other bug reporters did a great job in helping us to improve the quality of these tools.
