<p>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.</p>

<p>Has there been any indications to when version 2.0 of Entity Framework is planned to be released? With .Net 4.0?</p>

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.
