Dear users,

The config.CodeFirstOptions.TruncateLongDefaultNames configuration option (default value is False) is added to provide the possibility of truncating long default names of indexes, primary keys, and foreign keys generated by Code-First Migrations (PostgreSQL)
The validation of identifier name length in Code-First Migrations is implemented (PostgreSQL)
The bug with setting configuration options via the application config file is fixed (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
The bug with setting the configuration options for Entity Framework v1 is fixed (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
The bug with creating DATE parameters when using LINQ to Entities is fixed (Oracle)
The bug with Entity Data Model Wizard/LightSwitch when an access to the objects from the MDSYS schema was required is fixed (Oracle)
