Documents breaking changes from dotnet/efcore#37837 / dotnet/efcore#37745:

  • EF tools no longer support .NET Framework projects (Low impact, added to EF Core 9.0 breaking changes): The actual break occurred in EF Core 9.0 — tools worked with .NET Framework in 8.0 but stopped in 9.0. Added entry to ef-core-9.0/breaking-changes.md documenting the break and mitigation (update project to target .NET).
  • EF tools packages no longer reference Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design (Low impact, EF Core 11.0): The Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tasks packages no longer have a dependency on Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design. Added entry to ef-core-11.0/breaking-changes.md with mitigation to add a direct PackageReference to Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design.
  • Fixed heading levels in EF Core 11.0 breaking changes to match established convention (## for impact sections, ### for titles, #### for subsections).

Pull request overview

Updates the EF Core 11 breaking-changes documentation to capture recent EF tooling-related breaking changes, including clearer behavior around .NET Framework startup projects and the removal of a transitive Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design dependency from tools packages.

Changes:

  • Adds two new “Low” impact entries to the breaking-changes Summary table.
  • Introduces a new “Low-impact changes” section documenting the two EF tools breaking changes, including rationale and mitigations.

You can also share your feedback on Copilot code review. Take the survey.

Not too sure about the .NET Framework breaking change note - either it's not a breaking change or it may need to be reworded (at least that's how I understood it). But otherwise LGTM.
