Hello. I was just wondering when IBM.EntityFrameworkCore will be updated to support EF Core 9 which has been out since November 2024?

Thanks.

Hello @Ryan Buening,

I've asked the same question 3 months ago (see https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datamanagement/discussion/net-ibmentityframeworkcore-doesnt-support-ef-core-9). Unfortunately I haven't heard back from IBM in any way...

I'm also interested in this. Normally it's about 3 months after the EF release.

Would be keen to know what is happening with this.

As of now, IBM.EntityFrameworkCore does not yet support EF Core 9. The current version, 8.0.0.300, is not compatible with EF Core 9, and users have reported issues such as `System.TypeLoadException`[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datamanagement/discussion/net-ibmentityframeworkcore-doesnt-support-ef-core-9?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1")[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datamanagement/discussion/ibmentityframeworkcore-support-ef-core-9?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2"). There hasn't been an official announcement regarding when the update will be available.           Have you tried reaching out to support?

I received a response from IBM support:

There are some SRT(Security Response Tool) clearance in waiting mode. Package is almost ready to release and it will be released once the process is cleared. ETA depends on SRT clearance and going by past experience, it may not happen immediately. We will push for an end of March release.
