Npgsql 2.1.0 released!

After a long time, Npgsql 2.1.0 is finally released! 

If you have been following my posts about Npgsql 2.1 beta and rc releases, you know we did a lot of changes since our last stable release.

The change log for this version is big. You can find a complete list of what has changed and the bugs fixed in the github project release page. It has a lot of information about the changes we made since our last stable 2.0.14 release. You should check it out to see what changed and what new features you will get when you use 2.1.

Developers using Npgsql 2.1 and Entity Framework should pay attention to the changes related to new configuration settings. More information about those changes can be checked here.

Downloads are available on Nuget, github. pgfoundry downloads will be made available soon.

Finally, I'd like to thank some people who did an incredible job and that without them this release wouldn't be possible!

Glen Parker has been working in the optimizations tasks since his first git commit. From the changelog you can see his tireless work regarding each part of Npgsql which could be optimized. Thank you very much for your contributions, Glen!

Shay Rojansky has been helping as the mastermind of the project restructuring support. He contributed a lot of changes which made our lives working with Npgsql much better. Thanks to him we can compile Npgsql for different .net platform versions easily. He also got TeamCity build server working as well as github integration. He helped us to get EntityFramework pre-6 and pos-6 verions easily integrated.
Thank you, Shay!

And Dave Page who helped us with the server where the TeamCity is installed. Without his help, I'm sure our TeamCity installation would be much more difficult. Thank you, Dave!


Please, give it a try and let us know what you think. Drop by Npgsql user forums to discuss and comment or send your bug reports to our issues section on github.

UUID datatype and COPY IN/OUT support added to cvs

Hi all! It was just added support to uuid datatype in cvs head. This type will be available in next Postgresql release 8.3. Thanks to David Bachmann for his patch! You can get more info about this patch in this mailing list post . Also was added support for copy in and copy out operations. Now, users can provide streams which can be copied directly to and from Postgresql tables! Thanks to Kalle Hallivuori for providing a patch! Thanks to Truviso for giving support to Kalle.

Using Entity Framework 6 with Npgsql 2.1.0

UPDATE (2014-05-19): Marek Beneš noticed a problem in the default connection factory config. It is fixed now. Thanks, Marek! UPDATE (2014-02-20): I created a new post explaining how to get Npgsql 2.1.0. Although this post is about EF 6, I'd like to talk about our current situation to support both EF 6 and EF4.x which explain why there are some subtle changes between EF 4.x and EF 6.x App.config settings.  Support for EF versions 4.x and 6.x Sometime after we started to work on Npgsql 2.1.0, we started to add code to support EF6 and decided to reorganize our Entity Framework support code. Shay created a pull request to organize this change and isolate the EF code out of core Npgsql code. The result was the creation of two separated assemblies: Npgsql.EntityFramework.dll for EF6 and above; Npgsql.EntityFrameworkLegacy.dll for EF4.x. Only when using Npgsql with EF6 you will need to reference Npgsql.EntityFramework.dll assembly. This is needed because the EF

Initial EF-6 support added to Npgsql

In my last post , I said there is a pull request by Pēteris Ņikiforovs to add support for EF-6 to Npgsql. Yesterday, I merged this pull request to the master branch of Npgsql . With this merge, Npgsql has officially initial support for EF-6! How to compile For now, in order to compile Npgsql to use EF-6, you have to open the solution file NpgsqlEF6.sln. Later,  as suggested by Pēteris Ņikiforovs , the idea is that we create a new configuration inside main project solution instead of maintain 2 separated projects. Another thing you will need to compile Npgsql is the latest release of EntityFramework assembly through NuGet: PM> Install-Package EntityFramework -Pre That's it! Now you will be able to play with Npgsql and EF-6. Check out my previous post about how to use Npgsql with EntityFramework. I'd like to thank Pēteris Ņikiforovs for his patch. And maxbundchen for his patch about Open/Close events needed for EF-6. Please, give it a try and let me know how it
