The (first) alpha version has been available since 14 September 2005;[3] the version was 1.1.10 and is not included into the MySQL GUI Tool bundle anymore, due to quality problems.[4] MySQL Workbench is the first MySQL family of products that offer two different editions. Being an open source project require all of resources and revenue stream, so to grow the core team behind the project they offer commercial edition on top of the open source edition.[5]. The "Community (OSS) Edition" is a fully featured product that is not a crippled in any way. Being the foundation for all other editions it will benefit from all future development efforts. The commercial "Standard Edition" extends the Community Edition with a series of modules and plugins [6]
