EF6.1.2 Beta 1 Available

  • Article

Today we are making Beta 1 of the EF6.1.2 release available. This patch release contains bug fixes and some contributions from our community.

 

What’s in Beta 1?

EF6.1.2 is mostly about bug fixes, you can see a list of the fixes included in EF6.1.2 on our CodePlex site.

We also accepted a couple of noteworthy changes from members of the community:

  • Query cache parameters can be configured from the app/web.configuration file

     <entityFramework>   
  <queryCache size='1000' cleaningIntervalInSeconds='-1'/>   
</entityFramework>

  • SqlFile and SqlResource methods on DbMigration allow you to run a SQL script stored as a file or embedded resource.

 

Where do I get the beta?

The runtime is available on NuGet. Follow the instructions on our Get It page for installing the latest pre-release version of Entity Framework runtime.

The tooling for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 is available on the Microsoft Download Center. The tooling will also be included in the next preview of Visual Studio “14”.

 

Support

This is a preview of changes that will be available in the final release of EF6.1.2 and is designed to allow you to try out the new features and report any issues you encounter. Microsoft does not guarantee any level of support on this release.
