Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.5 (2017-12-08, General
Availability)
Functionality Added or Changed
* Support for .NET Core 2.0 and .NET Standard 2.0 has been
added (.NET Core 1.1 support continues). With .NET Core 2.0, most
of the common ADO.NET classes are available for use, such as:

System.Data.DataRow
+ System.Data.DataSet
+ System.Data.Common.DataAdapter
* Support for Entity Framework Core 2.0 has been added
(Entity Framework 1.1 support continues). Currently, the MySQL
Connector/Net implementation excludes the following 2.0 features:
+ Modeling: table splitting, owned types, model-level
query filters, database scalar function mapping,
self-contained type configuration for code first.
+ High performance: DbContext pooling and explicitly
compiled queries.
+ Change tracking: attach can track a graph of new and
existing entities.
+ Query: improved LINQ translation, group-join
improvements, string interpolation in FromSql and
ExecuteSqlCommand, new EF.Functions.Like().
+ Database management: pluralization hook for
DbContext scaffolding.
+ Others: only one provider per model, consolidated
logging and diagnostics.
