There are no tabs anymore. The new interface is... you should download
and see it.

Also - there was the idea to rename 'Schema' to 'Diagrams' as there can
be many such - snapshots of different parts of the database. Useful when
one has to write a documentation (I did this once).

And then - a 'visual referential integrity manager' (a future feature)
that will allow referential integrity to be viewed/created/edited in a
visual manner.

So - for the native speakers - there is an option the 'Visual
referential integrity manager' to be called 'Relationships'.

Any native comments?
