Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Connector/NET 8.0.14 is the second version to support
Entity Framework Core 2.1 and the fourth general availability release
of MySQL Connector/NET to add support for the new XDevAPI, which
enables application developers to write code that combines the
strengths of the relational and document models using a modern,
NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience writing traditional SQL.
To learn more about how to write applications using the XDevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/index.html. For more
information about how the XDevAPI is implemented in Connector/NET, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-net. NuGet packages provide functionality at a project level. To get the full set of features available in Connector/NET such as availability in the GAC, integration with Visual Studio's Entity Framework Designer
and integration with MySQL for Visual Studio, installation through
the MySQL Installer or the stand-alone MSI is required.
Please note that the XDevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version
8.0 or higher with the X Plugin enabled. For general documentation
about how to get started using MySQL as a document store, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/document-store.html.
To download MySQL Connector/NET 8.0.14, see
