Fixed in release-1.2.2

Description: When using the mysql workbench plugin script 'mysqldiff' to compare two databases that contain hyphens in their database name it fails with the following error: mysqldiff: error: Invalid format for object compare argument. Format should be: db1.object:db2:object or db1:db2. How to repeat: Use any existing database names that contain hyphens as arguments, f.e. 'mydb-common' mysqldiff --server1=user:pass@host --server2=user:pass@host mydb-common:mydb-common Suggested fix: Fix the regular expression in the mysqldiff python script by replacing line 118 with m_obj = re.match("([\w\-]+)(?:\.([\w\-]+))?:([\w\-]+)(?:\.([\w\-]+))?", argument) to also match hyphens.
