Announcement1.12.0rc2
dbt-core v1.12.0rc2
Release candidate 1.12.0 includes breaking changes for flags from 1.9 and 1.10 now defaulting to true, new catalog_database field for CatalogWriteIntegrationConfig to support database-name overrides, and fixes for config rendering and partial parsing ghost-duplicates.
dbt-core 1.12.0-rc2 - July 09, 2026
Breaking Changes
- Flags introduced in 1.9 and 1.10 defaults to true (#12713)
Features
- Add catalog_database field to CatalogWriteIntegrationConfig (v1) so catalogs.yml can set a database-name override for any catalog type; works in conjunction with the dbt-adapters get_catalog_database_override method to give catalog_database highest priority in generate_database_name (#15156)
Fixes
- Reconstruct unrendered config kwarg values as readable expressions instead of raw AST repr (#15336)
- Fix partial parsing ghost-duplicate that raised a false "found two data_tests" error by cleaning up disabled generic and singular test nodes on schema re-parse (#)
