Entity Framework Core in Action

appendix B Early information on EF Core version 2.1

This appendix covers

• What does a 2.1 release of EF Core mean?
• The new features in EF Core 2.1
• The improvements in EF Core 2.1

All books need to be finished, and this book went into the print process phase before EF Core 2.1 was released. Thankfully, version 2.1 is a minor update, so it doesn’t change the code in this book that much, but it does add new features and improvements. The changes are welcome, especially some of the new features; hence, I added this appendix and various EF Core 2.1 notes to the book before it went to print.
