• appsettings (Startup project),
• appsettings.{env}.json (Startup project),
• user secrets (Migrations project)
• "Database" tool window (the last one is experimental and currently only available for SQLite)

Other sources are planned for the next releases (mainly MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL and Oracke connections from "Database" tool window)

Highlights

Save fields data between dialogs

The most requested feature, now the majority of commonly used options persisted between dialogs to reduce the time needed for the reconfiguration of defaults.

See this page about which values are persisted and which are not (and why).

Run EF Core commands in a terminal-like window

Now, by default EF Core commands will be executed more transparently in a dedicated console window

If you prefer the old "silent" behavior - you could disable this feature in settings.

Settings page

Since the new release has new feature flags, the plugin now has a settings page.
