Version 0.2.1

Release Date: October 31, 2025

This release adds support for additional Entity Framework Core database management methods when working with TimescaleDB.

New Features​

Enhanced Database Management Support​

Implemented a custom DbMigrationsSqlGenerator to support additional Entity Framework Core database management methods that were previously unavailable when using TimescaleDB.

This enhancement enables developers to use methods such as:

  • Database.EnsureCreatedAsync() - Asynchronously creates the database and schema
  • Database.EnsureCreated() - Synchronously creates the database and schema

Example Usage:

await using var context = new ApplicationDbContext();

// Now supported with TimescaleDB
await context.Database.EnsureCreatedAsync();

// TimescaleDB-specific features are properly initialized

Previously, these methods would not properly initialize TimescaleDB-specific features like hypertables and continuous aggregates. The custom SQL generator ensures that all TimescaleDB operations are included when using these convenience methods.
