# Plan for Entity Framework Core 6.0

> [!IMPORTANT]
> EF Core 6.0 [has now been released](xref:core/what-is-new/index). This page remains as a historical record of the plan.
As described in the [planning process](xref:core/what-is-new/release-planning), we have gathered input from stakeholders into a plan for the Entity Framework Core (EF Core) 6.0 release. This plan is periodically updated to reflect schedule and scope adjustments.

Unlike previous releases, this plan does not attempt to cover all work for the 6.0 release. Instead, it indicates where and how we intend to invest in this release, but with flexibility to adjust scope or pull in new work as we gather feedback and learn while working on the release.

See the [release planning process](xref:core/what-is-new/release-planning) for more information on how we decide what to ship in each release. We typically don't do detailed planning for further out than the next major or minor release.

## EF Core 6.0
## EF Core 7.0

The next planned stable release is **EF Core 6.0**, scheduled for **November 2021**.
The next planned stable release is **EF Core 7.0**, or just **EF7**, scheduled for **November 2022**.

A [high-level plan for EF Core 6.0](xref:core/what-is-new/ef-core-6.0/plan) has been created by following the documented [release planning process](xref:core/what-is-new/release-planning).

Your feedback on planning is important. The best way to indicate the importance of an issue is to vote (thumbs-up 👍) for that issue on GitHub. This data will then feed into the planning process for the next release.

### Get it now

EF Core 6.0 packages are **available now** as

* [Daily builds](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/master/docs/DailyBuilds.md)
* All the latest features and bug fixes. Generally very stable; 75,000+ tests run against each build.
* [Previews on NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore/6.0.0-preview.3.21201.2)

Note that the previews lag behind daily builds, but are tested to work with the corresponding ASP.NET Core and .NET Core previews.

Using the previews or daily builds is a great way to find issues and provide feedback as early as possible. The sooner we get such feedback, the more likely it will be actionable before the next official release.
A high-level plan for EF7 is coming soon.
