dbt-core 1.4.0 - Alain LeRoy Locke (January 25, 2023)

Breaking Changes

  • Relevant for maintainers of adapter plugins: Cleaned up exceptions to directly raise in code. Also updated the existing exception to meet PEP guidelines. Removed use of all exception functions in the code base and marked them all as deprecated to be removed next minor release. (#6339, #6393, #6460)

Features

  • Added favor-state flag to optionally favor state nodes even if unselected node exists (#5016)

  • incremental predicates (#5680)
  • Friendlier error messages when packages.yml is malformed (#5486)
  • Allow partitions in external tables to be supplied as a list (#5929)
  • extend -f flag shorthand for seed command (#5990)
  • This pulls the profile name from args when constructing a RuntimeConfig in lib.py, enabling the dbt-server to override the value that's in the dbt_project.yml (#6201)
  • Adding tarball install method for packages. Allowing package tarball to be specified via url in the packages.yaml. (#4205)
  • Added an md5 function to the base context (#6246)
  • Exposures support metrics in lineage (#6057)
  • Add support for Python 3.11 (#6147)

  • The meta configuration field is now included in the node_info property of structured logs. (#6216)
  • Adds buildable selection mode (#6365)
  • --warn-error-options: Treat warnings as errors for specific events, based on user configuration (#6165)

Fixes

  • Account for disabled flags on models in schema files more completely (#3992)
  • Add validation of enabled config for metrics, exposures and sources (#6030)
  • check length of args of python model function before accessing it (#6041)
  • Add functors to ensure event types with str-type attributes are initialized to spec, even when provided non-str type params. (#5436)
  • Allow hooks to fail without halting execution flow (#5625)
  • fix missing f-strings, convert old .format() messages to f-strings for consistency (#6241)
  • Clarify Error Message for how many models are allowed in a Python file (#6245)
  • Fix typo in util.py (#4904)
  • After this, will be possible to use default values for dbt.config.get (#6309)
  • Use full path for writing manifest (#6055)
  • add pre-commit install to make dev script in Makefile (#6269)
  • Late-rendering for pre_ and post_hooks in dbt_project.yml (#6411)
  • [CT-1284] Change Python model default materialization to table (#5989)
  • [CT-1591] Don't parse empty Python files (#6345)
  • Repair a regression which prevented basic logging before the logging subsystem is completely configured. (#6434)
  • fix docs generate --defer by adding defer_to_manifest to before_run (#6488)
  • Bug when partial parsing with an empty schema file (#4850)
  • Fix DBT_FAVOR_STATE env var (#5859)
  • Restore historical behavior of certain disabled test messages, so that they are at the less obtrusive debug level, rather than the warning level. (#6501)
  • Bump mashumuro version to get regression fix and add unit test to verify that fix. (#6428)
  • Call update_event_status earlier for node results. Rename event 'HookFinished' -> FinishedRunningStats (#6571)
  • Provide backward compatibility for get_merge_sql arguments (#6625)
  • Fix behavior of --favor-state with --defer (#6617)
  • Include adapter_response in NodeFinished run_result log event (#6703)

Alain LeRoy Locke (1885 – 1954)

Thanks to @matthewshaver for writing this biography of Henry George —a famous Philadelphian, and the namesake of this dbt Core release.

It requires ample fortitude and determination to be first at anything. To persevere into greatness, when many would shed blood to prevent even a modicum of success, is the pinnacle of human achievement and the origin of incredible stories throughout recorded history. To then stand in defiance of forces that hold sway over the ebb and flow of an entire nation and spark a cultural renaissance amongst its most vulnerable and exploited people is an ultimate act of humanity.

Alain (né Arthur) LeRoy Locke was born in Philadelphia in 1885 to Pliny and Mary Locke. His father died when he was only six, and his mother, an educator, became his primary influence. Locke studied at Harvard, becoming the rowing team’s first Black coxswain. He completed his studies, graduated magna cum laude, and became the first Black Rhodes Scholar. He studied at Oxford and the University of Berlin before returning home to become a teacher at Howard University (where he was dismissed for advocating equal pay). During a break from teaching, he published a book of stories, poems, and essays that would become the catalyst for the Harlem Renaissance - The New Negro: An Interpretation.

In addition to facing struggles due to his race and class, Locke was a gay man who resisted the heteronormative cultural politics of the time, making him a pariah amongst many of his contemporaries. Despite these challenges, The New Negro was widely respected, and its impact has led to him being championed as the father of the Harlem Renaissance. Locke’s passion for dispelling the stereotypes of his people had an immeasurable impact on the Civil Rights movements during the 20th century. His indelible legacy is imprinted on American culture and will continue reverberating through time.
