Dear users,

We are glad to announce the new features that are available in the Entity Framework support in the latest version:

Entity Framework 5.0 Release Candidate is supported (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
The support of fractional seconds for TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, and TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE in Entity Data Model Wizard/Generate Database Wizard and Code-First CreateDatabase functionality is added (Oracle)
The support of fractional seconds for TIME, DATETIME and TIMESTAMP in Entity Data Model Wizard/Generate Database Wizard and Code-First CreateDatabase functionality is added (MySQL)
The support for Ticks-based DateTime columns is added (SQLite)
The behaviour is changed: by default in Model-First and Code-First approaches the DateTime property is not TIMESTAMP anymore, but TIMESTAMP(7), and the DateTimeOffset property is TIMESTAMP(7) WITH TIME ZONE (Oracle)
The behaviour is changed: the Money data type is mapped to System.Decimal by default now when using Entity Data Model Wizard/Generate Database Wizard and Code-First CreateDatabase functionality (PostgreSQL)
The bug with fractional seconds during SQL generation of DateTime and DateTimeOffset constant literal is fixed (Oracle)
The bug with stored procedure Out/InOut numeric parameters is fixed (Oracle)
The bug with incorrect XMLTYPE null value generation is fixed (Oracle)
The bug with creating MigrationHistory table (EF v4.3 and v5.0) when using protocol 3.0 is fixed (PostgreSQL)
The bug with fractional seconds rounding in INSERT command is fixed (SQLite)
