Hi,
This is not really a bug report, more like a comment or a heads-up.
I'm developing an Azure service that is using XpoDataServiceV3.
After installing v2012.2.4 I add references to the WCF data services using NuGet which pointed me to the package for WCF v5.1.
The project compiled and run fine in my development machine.
When I deploy it to Azure the role kept restarting without being able to run.
(As you may, or not, know this behaviour is usually caused by unhandled exceptions or missing referenced DLLs)
No details on the exception it was causing or indication of what was really causing the problem. BTW, I had all DLLs set to copy local.
After a lot of struggle I end up removing the NuGet package and reference the WCF DLLs from the bin folder of the SDK installed in my machine. Specifically v5.0, not 5.1.
That solved the problem and the service was deployed and is running as expected.
I didn't dig into this further by lack of time. This to say that I don't know if the problem was caused by the NuGet package or by something with the v5.1 DLLs, or if v5.1 require any extra DLLs that I'm not aware of.
Perhaps it would be a good idea and may save some else time stressing that XpoDataServiceV3 should be used with v5.0 or that v5.1 may cause issues.
We have closed this ticket because another page addresses its subject:

Hi, Jose. Thank you for the feedback. The XpoDataServiceV3 is built against WCF Data Services 5.0. It is required to rebuild XPO from sources to use 5.1. We will note this fact in documentation.
Hi,
Any update on the DevExpress.Xpo.v12.2.Extensions compiled against WCF Data Services 5.1?
Please, this is really important having acces to options such json format is very important.
Starting from the next maintenance build (12.2.6), we will include different versions of this assembly built against corresponding WCF Data Services versions:
DevExpress.Xpo.v12.2.Extensions.dll (5.0)
DevExpress.Xpo.v12.2.Extensions.Wcf.5.02.dll
DevExpress.Xpo.v12.2.Extensions.Wcf.5.1.dll
DevExpress.Xpo.v12.2.Extensions.Wcf.5.2.dll
