Description
Background
The latest version of dbt Core,dbt-core==1.4.0, was published on January 25, 2023 (PyPI | Github). In fact, a patch, dbt-core==1.4.1 (PyPI | Github), was also released on the same day.
How to upgrade
dbt-labs/dbt-core#6624 is an open discussion with more detailed information. If you have questions, please put them there! dbt-labs/dbt-core#6849 is for keeping track of the community's progress on releasing 1.4.0
The above linked guide has more information, but below is a high-level checklist of work that would enable a successful 1.4.0 release of your adapter.
- support Python 3.11 (only if your adapter's dependencies allow)
- Consolidate timestamp functions & macros
- Replace deprecated exception functions
- Add support for more tests
the next minor release: 1.5.0
FYI, dbt-core==1.5.0 is expected to be released at the end of April. Please plan on allocating a more effort to upgrade support compared to previous minor versions. Expect to hear more in the middle of April.
At a high-level expect much greater adapter test coverage (a very good thing!), and some likely heaving renaming and restructuring as the API-ification of dbt-core is now well underway. See https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/milestone/82 for more information.
