Since updating mysql workbench from 3.6.4 to 3.6.10, or 3.6.9, I can no longer connect to any host. Not even localhost, or using the TCP/IP over SSH option. Every connection attempt gives "Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()".

I found older bugs referring to the same error, but those are all related to old style password hashing, which is already disabled on every host I'm trying to connect to.

Workbench log is not particularly helpful:
Code:

17:23:36 [WRN][       WBModule]: OS not found on supported OS list. OS string: ' x86_64'
17:23:39 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: SqlEditorForm: exception in do_connect method: Exception: Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()
17:23:39 [ERR][  GRTDispatcher]: exception in grt execute_task, continuing: Exception: Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()
17:23:39 [ERR][  GRTDispatcher]: worker: task 'execute sql queries' has failed with error:.Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()
17:23:39 [ERR][    WQE backend]: Got an exception during connection: Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()
17:23:39 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: SQL editor could not be connected: Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()
17:23:39 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: Your connection attempt failed for user '****' from your host to server at dbc06.****.net:3
306:
  Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()

Please:
1 Check that mysql is running on server dbc06.****.net
2 Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3 Check the **** has rights to connect to dbc06.****.net from your address (mysql rights define what clients can connect to
the server and from which machines)
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for dbc06.****.net connecting from the host address you're connecting from


Downgrading back to 6.3.4 works okay

Ok, found a workaround. This whole issue seems to be due to workbench requiring mysql 5.7 to be installed on the system. But since that's not available here (yet), replacing it with mariadb also works.

Has to be mariadb < 10.2.8 though, due to this bug. Works well with 10.1.29.

Thanks for figuring this out, I ended up going back to =dev-db/mysql-workbench-6.3.4-r2 to work around the issue.
