Over the past 90 days, dbt-core focused on stabilizing microbatch execution and tightening configuration handling. The team shipped fixes for concurrent microbatch-batch deadlocks and corrected retry logic to preserve original invocation times across batch recomputation. Configuration work included better detection of missing plus prefixes in dbt_project.yml, support for meta and docs blocks under macro config, and suppression of false deprecation warnings around internal python model configs. Support for UDF deferral and REST Catalog-linked database compilation rounded out the patch cycle across 1.11.x and 1.10.x lines.
Fixed microbatch retry logic across supported versions to preserve original invocation timestamps when recomputing batches, and bumped dbt-common minimum version to 1.37.3.
