Entity Framework Core 5.0.11 is supported (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
Entity Framework Core 3.1.20 is supported
The implementation of config.CodeFirstOptions.TruncateLongDefaultNames in EF6 .NET Standard compliant assemblies is improved: the generated names are constant, independent on a current domain and workstation (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
The config.CodeFirstOptions.DropConstraintsByColumns configuration option is added (default value is False) to provide the possibility of dropping the existing foreign keys and indexes basing on the column names instead of constraint names (Oracle)
The Code-First Migration operations RenameColumn (SQLite 3.25 and above) and DropColumn (SQLite 3.35 and above) are natively supported in EF4/EF5/EF6 and EF Core 1/EF Core 2/EF Core 3/EF Core 5 (SQLite)
