Description:
When I have a MariaDB version 10.1.21 (which is included in XAMPP which I use for local development) and the forementioned MySQL Workbench version, I get a warning when connecting to that server.

"Connection Warning (<connection name>)

Incompatible/nonstandard server version or connection protocol detected (10.1.21). 

[...]

"

which I can skip with "Continue Anyway"

But I get that message everytime I connect. I want to disable this warning.

How to repeat:
Install XAMPP 3.2.2 (compiled on Nov 12th 2015) which includes MariaDB version 10.1.21 and setup a local DB.

Install MySQL Workbench in the forementioned version.

Create a connection to the local DB. 
Double click the new connection to connect.

Suggested fix:
Add a checkbox to the warning window. 

When clicked, this warning should not appear again (either globally or even connection specific, which would be even better)
