WHAT’S NEW
This update is notifying you of a new software release of EDB Postgres Connectors (.NET version 5.0.7.1), which supports EDB Postgres Advanced Server 9.6 or newer.
Highlights of this release include:
- Merge with Community .NET Driver v5.0.7 (npgsql)
- More information about this and other fixes in the community driver can be found at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Npgsql/5.0.7
- Introduction of Entity Framework Core

- Please note:
- .NET Framework 4.6.1, 4.7.2 and 4.8 are no longer targeted in this release. Since .NET Standard 2.0 is targeted, it is still possible to use EDB .NET Connector with these versions of the .NET Framework. Previous EDB .NET Connector version 4.1.6.1 will continue to support .NET Framework 4.6.1, 4.7.2 and 4.8.
- This release includes netcoreapp3.1 TFM while netcoreapp3.0 has been discontinued because it is out of support.
