Progress?

[Wraith2]

It was mentioned on an EF livestream that progress was being made but the only commit is from 2021. Is there code being worked on? If so can we see it in case we can help out?

[roji]

@Wraith2 there's definitely been progress, and we're also discussing internally about future directions for this. We'll communicate on this soon, hang tight.

[Wraith2]

How soon?

[roji]

We'll very likely post an update in the next few weeks.

Just out of curiosity, why is this being worked on behind closed doors at the moment?

From what I see: Woodstar been added as one of the goals of EF Core 8:
dotnet/efcore#29853

Bump ^

Would love to see this opened up to the community.
If we've learned anything from the last couple of years, performance work gets a lot of outside eyeballs and contributions.
Please, let us help.

It's 4 months later. Can you define "soon" for me?

We'll very likely post an update in the next few weeks.

Also few now has a whole different meaning to me 😄

Everyone, we're now heads-down in the last phases of .NET/EF 8.0 feature work, before the window for improvements closes. I hoped to be able to do this much earlier, but unfortunately there have been many unscheduled things that required our attention.

We'll post an update once the release goes into stabilization and things calm down a bit.

@roji as rc1 ist out now, what about a tiny update?

[Wraith2]

Given that EF 8 is now in stabilization mode, per dotnet/efcore#29853 (comment) can we get some information what's going on please? Even if we don't get code can we get some sort of information about what's happened and what is yet to happen?

[roji]

@Wraith2 unfortunately I'm still extremely busy with 8.0-related work, and that's unlikely to change before the release in November. We've done some investigation and prototype coding in 8.0, but a serious write-up is needed to describe that, and I simply don't have the time to do that at the moment.

I'm sorry things are taking this long, but it is what it is. I promise that once I get some breathing space I'll prioritize summarizing what we've done and the state of affairs.

Keep up the awesome work @roji (and team). We respect what you're doing 🤗
