What's new in Entity Framework Core 2.1.0?

  • Lazy loading - You can now load the navigation properties on demand using the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Proxies, which leverages the building blocks to produce lazy loading proxy classes.
  • Parameters in entity constructors - You can use parameters in the entity constructors to inject property values, lazy loading delegates and services.
  • Value conversions - Starting with Entity Framework Core 2.1, value conversions can be applied to transform the values obtained from columns before they are applied to properties, and vice versa.
  • LINQ GroupBy translation - Entity Framework Core 2.1.0 supports translating GroupBy LINQ operator to the SQL GROUP BY clause in most common cases.
  • Data Seeding - With the new release it will be possible to provide initial data to populate a database.
  • Query types - An EF Core model can now include query types. Unlike entity types, query types do not have keys defined on them and cannot be inserted, deleted or updated, but they can be returned directly by queries.
  • Include for derived types - In Entity Framework Core 2.1.0, it will now be possible to specify navigation properties only defined on derived types when writing expressions for the Include method.
  • Support of System.Transactions - The ability to work with System.Transactions features such as TransactionScope has been added to Entity Framework Core 2.1.0.
  • Better column ordering in initial migration - While performing migrations to initially generate columns for tables, it will now put them in the same order as properties are declared in classes.
  • Optimization of correlated sub-queries - It will now avoid executing “N + 1” SQL queries in many common scenarios.
  • Owned attribute - It is now possible to configure owned entity types by simply annotating the type with [Owned] attribute.
  • FromSql code analyzer tool - A new code analyzer is included with Entity Framework Core 2.1.0 that detects possibly unsafe usages.
