I am currently looking at different ORM solutions for a project that is planned for this spring. Entity Framework is one of the products I am looking closer at, but EF 2.0 would be quite a lot more interesting.
Has there been any indications to when version 2.0 of Entity Framework is planned to be released? With .Net 4.0?
AFAIK it hasn't been officially announced. The best hint I saw is here, so it's probably coming with .NET 4.0. I bet they will release a CTP before that.
Entity Framework v2 will be part of .NET 4.0. You can see information about v2 over at http://blogs.msdn.com/efdesign and there is also a video from PDC
The first CTP of VS2010 and .NET 4.0 is already available - but I don't think it includes new EF features yet (will check on that) download CTP
