MySQL 6 release date?

Question

Anyone know when the MySQL 6 release date is?

I've seen a ton of alpha/beta for it but have not seen an actual release date for 6.0

Looks like back in April, MySQL announced the release of ALPHA version 6.0.11. In that release back in April 2009 they stated that this would be the last ALPHA release and the next release in Sept 2009 would be a release candidate.

Sept 2009 has long since passed and I have not seen any release candidates for MySQL 6 :(

Any ideas as to when I can expect 6.0 to be released?

Answer 1

Never.

6.0.11 will be the last release of 6.0. After this we will be transitioning into a New Release Model for the MySQL Server: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Development%5FCycle
