MySQL Connector/NET 6.10.3 rc has been released

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.3 rc is the fourth release which supports
Scaffold-DbContext, that enables the creation of corresponding model
classes from an existing database that are compatible with Entity
Framework (EF) Core 1.1.

To download MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.3 rc, see the "Development
Releases" tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.3 (2017-08-18, Release
Candidate)

    Known limitation of this release:

    The use of the SSL protocol is restricted to TCP connections.
    Connections using Unix sockets, named pipes, and shared memory do not
    support SSL mode.

    Functionality Added or Changed

      * The following methods are available for use with EF Core
        in asynchronous command and connection operations:

           + Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext.AddAsync

           + Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext.AddRangeAsync

           + Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext.FindAsync

           + Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext.SaveChangesAsync

           + Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Infrastructure.
             DatabaseFacade.EnsureDeletedAsync

           + Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Infrastructure.
             DatabaseFacade.EnsureCreatedAsync

           + Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext.ToListAsync

      * Support for connections using Unix sockets was extended
        to include MySQL servers deployed on the Linux host operating
        system in .NET Core scenarios. To specify a Unix socket
        connection, set the value of the Server connection-string option
        to the path of the socket file and the Protocol option to unix.
        For example:
"server=/path/to/socket;protocol=unix;user=root;password=mypass"

      * The AutoEnlist and IncludeSecurityAsserts
        connection-string options are not appropriate for use by
        applications that target .NET Core and now return an error when
        used.

      * EF Core: Support for explicit loading was added. Explicit
        loading is an object-relational mapper (O/RM) pattern introduced
        in EF Core 1.1.0, which enables .NET developers to explicitly
        load related data from the database at a later time.

      * EF Core: Support for scaffolding a DbContext from
        multiple databases was added. With multiple databases (or schemas
        of tables) specified, the resulting entity classes are created
        within a single context.

        EF Core CLI usage example:
        dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "connection-string"
        MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore --schema world --schema sakila

        Package Manager Console (Visual Studio) usage example:
        Scaffold-DbContext "connection-string"
        MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore -Schemas world,sakila

      * The following connection-string options are not currently
        supported for use by applications that target .NET Core and now
        return an error when used:

           + SharedMemoryName

           + IntegratedSecurity

           + PipeName

           + Logging

           + UseUsageAdvisor

           + UsePerformanceMonitor

           + InteractiveSession

           + Replication

    Bugs Fixed

      * EF Core: Some methods in the DbContext class were not
        supported for use with asynchronous operations. (Bug #26448321,
        Bug #84814)
