MySQL Connector/NET 6.10.1 beta has been released

[Nawaz Nazeer ahamed]

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.1 beta is the second 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 6.10.1 beta, see the "Development
Releases" tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/


Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.1 (2017-02-22, Beta)

   Known limitations of this release:

     * The output classes cannot exist prior to using the EF
       Core database first feature.

     * The target database must have a table with a primary key.

     * The target database cannot contain one or more views.

     * The JSON data exchange format is not supported by the EF
       Core database first feature.

     * No error message is provided when a table given as input
       does not exist in the database and a model context is created
       without any table by the EF Core database first feature.

     * The EF Core database first feature does not support the
       following data types:

          + BINARY

          + VARBINARY

          + MEDIUMBLOB

          + LONGBLOB

          + SET

          + DATE

          + TIME

          + YEAR

     * DbContext within an application can emit an unhandled
       exception. Due to this limitation, MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.9 is
       the preferred version to use with EF6.

   Functionality Added or Changed

     * Added database first support, also known as
       Scaffold-DbContext, which enables the creation of corresponding
       model classes from an existing database that are compatible with
       Entity Framework (EF) Core 1.1.

   Bugs Fixed

     * EF Core: Using the Contains method in an expression with
       a variable generated an exception. (Bug #25394204, Bug #84505)

     * EF Core: Using the Skip and Take methods in an assignment
       generated an exception. (Bug #25382036, Bug #84453)
