Dear users,

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

The Acos, Asin, Ascii, Atan, Atan2, Char, Cos, CurrentUser, DataLength, Exp, Rand, Sign, Sin, SoundCode, SquareRoot, StringConvert, Tan methods of the SqlFunctions class in LINQ to Entities are supported to be converted to Oracle-specific SQL statements in runtime (Oracle)
The generation of SQL literals for DateTimeOffset and TimeSpan values is improved: shortened form is used now if possible (Oracle)
The bug with generation of SQL literals for DateTimeOffset values is fixed (Oracle)
The bug with using the CreateTime canonical function with expressions (not constants) as arguments is fixed (Oracle)
The bug with changing the MigrationHistory table when migrating from EF4/EF5 to EF6, when config.Workarounds.DisableQuoting=true, is fixed (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL,SQLite, DB2)
