In March 2025, the primary focus in dotnet/EntityFramework.Docs was to improve accuracy of the EF Core concurrency guidance. A feature-level update refined the Concurrency documentation to clarify that DbUpdateConcurrencyException is generally not thrown when adding new entities, in contrast to updates or deletes of concurrently modified rows. This change aligns docs with EF Core behavior and reduces misconceptions for developers. The update was implemented in the commit 0a4ef68fae5fe46e207ea576c565da90250c6aa0 with the message 'Update concurrency.md (#4972)'.
