DevArt with Oracle throws error for EF 6

[anand123]

DevArt worked with EF5, after installing EF6.0.1, got following error.

Error Info:
The 'Instance' member of the Entity Framework provider type 'Devart.Data.Oracle.Entity.OracleEntityProviderServices, Devart.Data.Oracle.Entity, Version=8.2.80.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701' did not return an object that inherits from 'System.Data.Entity.Core.Common.DbProviderServices'. Entity Framework providers must inherit from this class and the 'Instance' member must return the singleton instance of the provider. This may be because the provider does not support Entity Framework 6

Please replace Version=8.1.26.6 with Version=8.2.80.6 in your *.config and try again.
