August 2025

Release date: August 12, 2025

Notable dbt Core OSS changes

This compatible upgrade brings in a minor update to dbt-core, from dbt-core==1.9.8 to dbt-core==1.10.8. Some noteworthy changes from this minor version include:

  • Introduction of several new deprecations that warn about project incompatibilities between dbt Core and Fusion engines.
  • Support for defining meta and tags within config of columns and exposures, as well as defining freshness within config of sources. These changes lead to manifest.json minor schema evolutions which may cause an intermittent increase in false positives during state:modified comparisons.

dbt cloud-based platform

Fixes

  • Update generate publications script to add project and env id in generated publication file
  • Use JSON stream for publication artifact generation script
  • Get environment variables correctly from environment for publication artifacts
  • Adding --resource-type and --exclude-resource-type flags to Semantic Layer commands
  • Azure DevOps Private Packages are now properly matched with Private Package Definition in packages.yml

Under the Hood

  • Prepare support for Private Package's URLs with multiple levels
  • Disable telemetry client logger
  • Update semantic layer SDK to 0.11
