Session closure no longer holds the connection manager lock, preventing concurrent query stalls and premature cluster auto-terminations mid-run. Incremental runs now handle primary and foreign key constraints deterministically to eliminate drop-and-recreate churn, duplicate constraint errors, and AWS view replacement failures.
Workload identity federation authentication is now supported via environment and file-based OIDC profile configurations. Key fixes resolve grant reconciliation crashes and improve tag preservation and automatic refresh behavior for materialized views and streaming tables.
Metric views now replace existing tables or views using a backup-and-create strategy rather than direct create-or-replace syntax. Lazily formatted Databricks SQL log records are also now properly interpolated when mirrored into dbt logs.
v1.12.4 fixes three bugs: case-insensitive SQL credential redaction, composite unique key deletion on DBR <17.1, and quote escaping in relation comments. databricks-sql-connector is updated to 4.4.0 to fix three CVEs including TLS hostname bypass and DoS vulnerabilities.
Adds catalog_database in v2 catalogs.yml to route Unity catalog models to independent physical catalogs (requires dbt-core 1.12+). Resolves bugs affecting Iceberg Python models, dbt clone operations, non-ASCII column incremental strategies, streaming table tags, and governed tag column drops.
Introduces catalogs.yml v2 support, a skip_optimize config for opting out of post-materialization OPTIMIZE, and Rust kernel backend for SQL warehouses. Fixes numerous incremental model bugs around constraints and tags, but now requires --full-refresh to apply changes to primary/foreign key expressions.
