dbt 2.0 dev.44 adds ClickHouse clusters, grants and clone ahead of the next v2 release.

fusion-migrationv2-transitionpython-supportdependency-managementcli
◆Current state
dbt 2.0 GA split the project into a proprietary 'dbt' binary and dbt-oss, and the 1.x line now works as a bridge to it. The 2.0.0-dev.44 build adds ClickHouse cluster support with distributed materializations, grants and dbt clone, and lets Lake Compute models ref() Databricks managed Delta tables. On the 1.x side, 1.13.0rc1 drops Python 3.10 and 1.11.17 fixes git package installs under newer libcurl.
◆Where it's heading
dbt Labs keeps two jobs running on 1.x: older lines get patches when the environment breaks them, and the newest line makes projects ready for v2. The 1.13 GA is the next milestone on that bridge.
◆Prediction
Expect 1.13.0 final soon after the release candidate, with v2-compatibility changes. More 1.11 patches will likely follow only when outside breakages force them.

    dbt 1.12.7 fixes source freshness and cache-selected-only

    A 1.12 patch: source freshness falls back to per-source checks when batch metadata fails, --cache-selected-only now works for compile, show and docs, and state:modified stops flagging list and dict configs by mistake. Maintenance on the 1.x bridge while new capability lands on the v2 dev channel.

    dbt 2.0 dev.44 adds ClickHouse clusters, grants and clone

    The v2 dev channel brings ClickHouse closer to parity with the main warehouses: cluster support, distributed materializations, grants and clone. Lake Compute's Databricks reach also widens, continuing the work on reading other warehouses' tables from v2.

    dbt 1.11.17 fixes git package installs under new libcurl

    1.11.17 supplies git credentials through a credential helper rather than the clone URL, fixing dbt deps on redirecting repos with newer Ubuntu libcurl, and recognizes dbt State configs on snapshots and tests. Upkeep on an older line while 1.13 heads to GA.

    dbt-core 1.13 RC drops Python 3.10, accepts v2-only config

    The 1.13 release candidate drops Python 3.10 and lets 1.x projects carry v2-only dbt_project.yml keys and v2 check nodes without errors. It also fixes git-package credentials in dbt deps. Most of it exists so teams can run v1 and v2 against the same project during migration.

    dbt 1.12.6 points users to v2 and fixes Fusion parser logging

    1.12.6 is the clearest example of 1.x acting as a funnel to v2: dbt --version now announces v2 with an install link. It also cleans up how Fusion parser output is relayed, so a stray stderr line no longer aborts runs under --warn-error, and fixes nested wildcard selectors and v2 cumulative-metric parsing.

    dbt 1.11.16 fixes nested wildcard selectors, adds tarball path check

    A maintenance patch on the 1.11 line: bare wildcard FQN selectors now match nested models, semantic_manifest.json joins the uploaded artifacts, and tarball package downloads are checked against path escape. The path validation is the part that matters, a supply-chain hardening for teams still pinned to 1.11 while 2.0 and 1.13 take the new work.
