The [v26.3.21.7-lts](/release/rel_R5QACfU994qySFv7O5hyr-release-v26-3-21-7-lts) and [v26.3.19.3-lts](/release/rel_8PLDT4Jb-KMBwulEtVQGE-release-v26-3-19-3-lts) patches, along with v26.7.5.10-stable and [v26.7.4.58-stable](/release/rel_jGiacocZlu1BvgABZ93tt-release-v26-7-4-58-stable), continue the project’s commitment to stability across both major version tracks. Meanwhile, the older [v25.8.32.4-lts](/release/rel_NfLhPUHWGVC5H342d9fEf-release-v25-8-32-4-lts), [v25.8.31.9-lts](/release/rel_NquQ3zxP1_MtRZ0Y2uNeg-release-v25-8-31-9-lts), and [v25.8.30.16-lts](/release/rel_8X1MDDR5_Mlsch28RPsi3-release-v25-8-30-16-lts) releases show the LTS branch is still receiving critical backports. Sandwiched between these, the [v26.6.3.62-stable](/release/rel_nXdWk7PLS6aAQpHQLPUlc-release-v26-6-3-62-stable) and [v26.5.7.64-stable](/release/rel_900qyJaWQvSbT5crWl04b-release-v26-5-7-64-stable) releases round out a week where no single fix dominates — instead, it’s the sheer volume of incremental improvements that speaks to the project’s operational maturity.\n\n### dbt Core: from security patches to 2.0 previews\nThe biggest story for dbt users is the [dbt Core v1.12 general availability](/release/rel_A1ydcoNrSiUy8iFYUOqNA-dbt-core-v1-12-is-now-generally-available) announcement, which arrived alongside two security-focused patch releases. Both [v1.12.3](/release/rel_dq7vChC-PsNl7nh7oQ_4j-dbt-core-v1-12-3-fixes-azure-blob-storage-uploads-and-patches-sqlparse-cves) and [v1.11.14](/release/rel_t3p3adpe7JZW4gN_Cie6y-dbt-core-v1-11-14-pins-sqlparse-to-fix-parser-dos-cves) pin `sqlparse` to a version that fixes four denial-of-service CVEs, with v1.12.3 also resolving an Azure Blob Storage upload issue where the missing `x-ms-blob-type` header caused `400 MissingRequiredHeader` errors on Azure-hosted regions. For forward-looking teams, the [v2.0.0-beta.2](/release/rel_SrHHupJLv9opyj7LHIqEI-dbt-core-v2-0-0-beta-2-adds-clickhouse-dictionary-materialization-support) release adds ClickHouse Dictionary materialization, index definition support, and Entra bearer token authentication for dbt-fusion fabric — signaling where the project is heading.\n\n### ClickHouse’s thought leadership\nBeyond releases, ClickHouse published two technical posts this week. The [PostgreSQL 19 monitoring overview](/release/rel_H8gXl2YNskWoPAUSukrsX-what-s-new-with-monitoring-in-postgresql-19) explores new observability features, while a [deep dive into storage performance](/release/rel_k214V25RqMi-mcZbWkisR-posette-talk-recap-postgres-isn-t-slow-your-storage-is) presents a local NVMe versus EBS benchmark from a POSETTE 2026 talk, complete with production setup details. These posts, alongside the Tinybird changelog entry about smarter materialized view dependency tracking, show the ecosystem’s broader focus on operational insight and performance tuning.","releaseIds":["rel_R5QACfU994qySFv7O5hyr","rel_8PLDT4Jb-KMBwulEtVQGE","rel_jGiacocZlu1BvgABZ93tt","rel_NfLhPUHWGVC5H342d9fEf","rel_NquQ3zxP1_MtRZ0Y2uNeg","rel_8X1MDDR5_Mlsch28RPsi3","rel_nXdWk7PLS6aAQpHQLPUlc","rel_900qyJaWQvSbT5crWl04b","rel_A1ydcoNrSiUy8iFYUOqNA","rel_dq7vChC-PsNl7nh7oQ_4j","rel_t3p3adpe7JZW4gN_Cie6y","rel_SrHHupJLv9opyj7LHIqEI","rel_H8gXl2YNskWoPAUSukrsX","rel_k214V25RqMi-mcZbWkisR"],"releaseCount":20,"generatedAt":"2026-08-24T07:02:19.381Z","releases":[{"id":"rel_R5QACfU994qySFv7O5hyr","title":"Release v26.3.21.7-lts","path":"/release/rel_R5QACfU994qySFv7O5hyr-release-v26-3-21-7-lts","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_8PLDT4Jb-KMBwulEtVQGE","title":"Release v26.3.19.3-lts","path":"/release/rel_8PLDT4Jb-KMBwulEtVQGE-release-v26-3-19-3-lts","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_jGiacocZlu1BvgABZ93tt","title":"Release v26.7.4.58-stable","path":"/release/rel_jGiacocZlu1BvgABZ93tt-release-v26-7-4-58-stable","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_NfLhPUHWGVC5H342d9fEf","title":"Release v25.8.32.4-lts","path":"/release/rel_NfLhPUHWGVC5H342d9fEf-release-v25-8-32-4-lts","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_NquQ3zxP1_MtRZ0Y2uNeg","title":"Release v25.8.31.9-lts","path":"/release/rel_NquQ3zxP1_MtRZ0Y2uNeg-release-v25-8-31-9-lts","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_8X1MDDR5_Mlsch28RPsi3","title":"Release v25.8.30.16-lts","path":"/release/rel_8X1MDDR5_Mlsch28RPsi3-release-v25-8-30-16-lts","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_nXdWk7PLS6aAQpHQLPUlc","title":"Release v26.6.3.62-stable","path":"/release/rel_nXdWk7PLS6aAQpHQLPUlc-release-v26-6-3-62-stable","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_900qyJaWQvSbT5crWl04b","title":"Release v26.5.7.64-stable","path":"/release/rel_900qyJaWQvSbT5crWl04b-release-v26-5-7-64-stable","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_A1ydcoNrSiUy8iFYUOqNA","title":"dbt Core v1.12 is now generally available","path":"/release/rel_A1ydcoNrSiUy8iFYUOqNA-dbt-core-v1-12-ships","org":{"slug":"dbt-labs","name":"dbt Labs"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_dq7vChC-PsNl7nh7oQ_4j","title":"dbt-core v1.12.3 fixes Azure Blob Storage uploads and patches sqlparse CVEs","path":"/release/rel_dq7vChC-PsNl7nh7oQ_4j-azure-blob-uploads-fixed-sqlparse-cves-patched","org":{"slug":"dbt-labs","name":"dbt Labs"},"importance":3},{"id":"rel_t3p3adpe7JZW4gN_Cie6y","title":"dbt-core v1.11.14 pins sqlparse to fix parser DoS CVEs","path":"/release/rel_t3p3adpe7JZW4gN_Cie6y-sqlparse-pinned-to-fix-parser-dos-cves","org":{"slug":"dbt-labs","name":"dbt Labs"},"importance":3},{"id":"rel_SrHHupJLv9opyj7LHIqEI","title":"dbt-core v2.0.0-beta.2 adds ClickHouse dictionary materialization support","path":"/release/rel_SrHHupJLv9opyj7LHIqEI-clickhouse-dictionary-materialization-lands","org":{"slug":"dbt-labs","name":"dbt Labs"},"importance":2},{"id":"rel_H8gXl2YNskWoPAUSukrsX","title":"What's New with Monitoring in PostgreSQL 19","path":"/release/rel_H8gXl2YNskWoPAUSukrsX-what-s-new-with-monitoring-in-postgresql-19","org":{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"ClickHouse"},"importance":null},{"id":"rel_k214V25RqMi-mcZbWkisR","title":"POSETTE Talk Recap - Postgres Isn't Slow.
