Today we are making Beta 1 of the EF6.1.3 release available. This patch release contains only high priority bug fixes.
What are the 6.1.3 release timelines?
At this stage we are planning for our next release to be the RTM. This may change if we get additional reports of high priority bugs that we decide should be fixed in 6.1.3.
We expect to ship the next release sometime next month but this may change if we decided to take additional changes.
What’s in Beta 1?
EF6.1.3 will just contain fixes to high priority issues that have been reported on the 6.1.2 release. The fixes included in beta 1 are:
- Query: Regression in EF 6.1.2: OUTER APPLY introduced and more compex queries for 1:1 relationships and "let" clause
- TPT problem with hiding base class property in inherited class
- DbMigration.Sql fails when the word 'go' is contained in the text
Where do I get the beta?

The tooling for Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2013, and Visual Studio 2015 Preview is available on the Microsoft Download Center.
