What is the correct provider definition for MySQL with Entity Framework 6?

Question

What is the most up to date setup for the provider for use with MySQL and Entity Framework 6?

I was using the following, but I've noticed that MySQL have pulled MySQL.Data.Entity.EF6 from Nuget so I assume it's no longer valid.

<provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6, Version=6.9.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"></provider>

It was working fine, but now I don't know where to get version 6.9.6.0 of the DLL from.

Every example that I look at and also MySQL's own getting started guide still mentions MySQL.Data.Entity.EF6 - it's bizarre
