✨ New Features & Capabilities (2)

  • Lower the minimum supported Python version for the dbt and dbt-oss PyPI wheels to 3.10
  • Add ProjectEnv::empty, ProjectBuilder::baseline and TaskSeq::from_builder test helpers for programmatic integration test projects

🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (2)

  • Fix spurious TableNotFound errors during analyze caused by MapReduce silently dropping a key claimed by a worker whose connection report the driver had not yet observed
  • `dbt build --write-catalog` writes `catalog.json` again; since the preview that shipped #13328 (first observed in 2.0.0-preview.218) the implied index default for build/check overrode the explicit flag and the catalog was silently skipped.
