[Prashant Tekriwal]

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.0 alpha is the first release to provide Entity
Framework Core 1.1 support and to enable compression in the .NET Core
version of the driver for enhanced cross-platform application
development.

To download MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.0 alpha, see the "Development
Releases" tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.0 (2016-12-09, Alpha)

   Known limitation of this release: 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

     * Support for compression was extended to the .NET Core
       version of the driver.

     * Added support for Entity Framework (EF) Core 1.1.
