Description:
current Version mismatch message is not helpful enough

How to repeat:
Run export(dump) on mysql 5.5

Suggested fix:
1) Include 5.5 mysql dump and 5.1 and switch intelligently - would be best.
and/or
add that they can switch path to mysqldump for 5.5 in
File->preferences->administrator - Path to mysqldumptool

It is recommended that you upgrade your local client programs to include newer mysqldump and then edit your preferences (File->preferences->administrator - Path to mysqldumptool) - or you can replace the mysqldump in the MySQL Workbench installation directory.

Thank you for the bug report.

Error message has been changed to:

%s is version %s, but the MySQL Server to be dumped has version %s.\nBecause the version of mysqldump is older than the server, some features may not be backed up properly.\nIt is recommended you upgrade your local MySQL client programs, including mysqldump to a version equal to or newer than that of the target server.\nThe path to the dump tool must then be set in Preferences -> Administrator -> Path to mysqldump Tool:

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.31 changelog:

The error message displayed when the mysqldump version needed updating was not informative enough.
