The MySQL Utilities Team is pleased to announce a major
advancement of MySQL Utilities. It is now available as a separate
download!
That's right. If you want to use MySQL Utilities without
installing MySQL Workbench, you can do that now.
The Utilities release-1.3.0 has been built for Windows Installer,
RPM archive, and .tar/.zip. We have also made downloads for
source only if you want to use Utilities to develop your own
utilities or install the product in custom location. We plan to
add other repositories in the future.
Is that it? Well, not quite. We have also included a new utility
- the .frm Reader. See the blog, "New Utility: .frm Reader" for
more information.
If you'd like to try out the new download, visit the MySQL
Workbench download page:

Note: this is an alpha release and will follow the
alpha-beta-GA development path. As such, it is not included in
MySQL Workbench. However, it does include all of the improvements
from the release-1.2.X tree.
For more information about switchover, failover, replication and
MySQL high availability, download the "Guide to Building a
Self-healing Replication Topology", which discusses how Global
Transaction Identifiers and the MySQL replication utilities can
be used for failover and switchover with slave promotion
