MySQLWorkbench with MariaDB 10.0 Performance tab not working I'm using MySQLWorkbench 6.3.3.0 (build 592) and I cannot use the performance tab on a Mariadb10 connection. 

This is the error I receive:


  This feature requires MySQL version 5.6.6 or newer




The error as you can see is that workbench cannot see that MariaDB 10 has the performance schema and is assuming that the MySQL version is lower than 5.6.6 which somewhat is true as I'm not using MySQL. 

I can assume that this is a compatibility issue between MySQLWorkbench and MariaDB 10? 

AFAIK MariaDB is supposed to be compatible with MySQL 5.6 or am I wrong about that?

Has anyone a workaround for this?
This is on purpose and has nothing to do with the performance schema. MySQL Workbench is designed for MySQL and is only guaranteed (and tested) to work with MySQL servers (and checks this explicitly in certain places). And even then there are sometimes problems, caused by features not available in older versions. Let alone derivative work like MariaDB.
