Entity framework 6 and oracle

Note: Entity Framework 6 is not supported at this time. Some Visual Studio versions may default to Entity Framework 6. If so, set your .NET project to use an earlier version of Entity Framework.

The message is provided in the Oracle Data Provider's system requirements

Is this the status still the same for today, or am I seeing an old message.

I am aware of dotConnect for Oracle from Devart.

Oracle Product Manager Alex Keh had this to say in this discussion thread on March 6, 2014:

You can run EF5 apps in EF 6 right now with ODAC 12c R2. The next ODAC release will include true EF 6 support. The plan is to release it sometime this year.

A casual search didn't turn up any predictions more current or specific than this. So we can expect Oracle to support Entity Framework 6 sometime in 2014.

Update: ODP.NET 12c now advertises support for Entity Framework 6.

Entity Framework 6 is still not supported by ODAC 12c (or any other version). Supported EFs are 4.5 and 5. Third party products, e.g. Devart, seems to be the only option at the moment. I haven't seen any announcement from Oracle to indicate possible release date.
