MySQL Connector/Net 7.0.7 is the fourth development release that expands cross-platform support to Linux and OS X when using Microsoft’s .NET Core framework. Now,
.NET developers can use the X DevAPI with .NET Core and Entity Framework Core
(EF Core) 1.0 to create server applications that run on Windows, Linux and OS X.
We are very excited about this change and really look forward to your feedback on it!

MySQL Connector/Net 7.0.7 is also the sixth development release of MySQL Connector/Net to add support for the new X DevAPI. The X DevAPI 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 X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/index.html. For more
information about how the X DevAPI is implemented in Connector/Net, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-net.

Note

The X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version 5.7.12 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/5.7/en/document-store.html.

To download MySQL Connector/Net 7.0.7 M6, see the “Development
Releases” tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

Functionality Added or Changed

• X DevAPI: Added support for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses. Host names can now resolve as IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
• X DevAPI: Connection string syntax is now identical to the URI scheme, which provides a cross-product syntax for defining the connection data to establish a session.
• X DevAPI: Added new methods to the Schema class to create, alter, and drop views. Usage notes include:
  • Views created with the Schema.CreateView().DefinedAs() method chain are
    supported for use with the table Select method, but are not supported with the collection Find method.
  • A collection view created in the database by some mechanism other than the CreateView method is not defined as a view by Table.IsView.
  • Query objects assigned to a view with the CreateView method are static, even when the underlying query changes.
