Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.5 is the second GA release and the first to
introduce .NET Core 2.0 and Entity Framework Core 2.0 support.

To download MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.5 GA, see the "Generally Available
(GA) Releases" tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.5 (2017-12-08, General
Availability)

    Functionality Added or Changed

      * Support for .NET Core 2.0 and .NET Standard 2.0 has been
        added (.NET Core 1.1 support continues). With .NET Core 2.0, most
        of the common ADO.NET classes are available for use, such as:

           + System.Data.DataTable, System.Data.DataColumn, and
             System.Data.DataRow

           + System.Data.DataSet

           + System.Data.Common.DataAdapter

      * Support for Entity Framework Core 2.0 has been added
        (Entity Framework 1.1 support continues). Currently, the MySQL
        Connector/Net implementation excludes the following 2.0 features:

           + Modeling: table splitting, owned types, model-level
             query filters, database scalar function mapping,
             self-contained type configuration for code first.

           + High performance: DbContext pooling and explicitly
             compiled queries.

           + Change tracking: attach can track a graph of new and
             existing entities.

           + Query: improved LINQ translation, group-join
             improvements, string interpolation in FromSql and
             ExecuteSqlCommand, new EF.Functions.Like().

           + Database management: pluralization hook for
             DbContext scaffolding.

           + Others: only one provider per model, consolidated
             logging and diagnostics.
