In previous versions of the EF Designer we always used the latest version of EF when creating new models. For example, in Visual Studio 2012 you would always get EF5 when you create a new model.
Because there are a number of breaking changes in EF6 and the need for providers to recompile and ship with EF6 support, we want to give folks the option to use EF5 for new models. This is especially important when they don't have an EF6 provider available for the database they are targeting.
It would also be cool to have an option to 'install latest from NuGet'.
Comments: The option to use either EF 5 or EF 6 is presented when creating a new model. We don't have the option to "install latest from NuGet" as suggested by the bug but there is guidance presented that recommends upgrading
