Announcement1.12.0rc1

dbt-core v1.12.0rc1

Release candidate for dbt-core 1.12.0 with breaking changes removing the experimental dbt login command and bundled dbt-state plugin, new support for dbt Fusion-specific warn_error_options, and fixes for unit testing versioned models. Includes dependency updates for the experimental parser and Docker image packages.

dbt-core 1.12.0-rc1 - July 07, 2026

Breaking Changes

  • Remove the experimental dbt login command and the bundled dbt-state plugin (including --manage-state/manage_state and the DBT_ENGINE_STATE_* env vars), reverting PRs (#NA)

Features

  • Tolerate dbt Fusion-specific warn_error_options names instead of erroring, emitting a note that they are ignored because they are specific to the dbt Fusion engine (#12885)

Fixes

  • Fix intermittent "references a model that does not exist" parsing error when unit testing versioned models, caused by non-deterministic filesystem parse order (#11139)

Dependencies

  • Bump the minimum dbt-core-experimental-parser to 2.0.0a3 (#15391)
  • Bump ca-certificates, libpq-dev, and openssh-client in Docker image to current bullseye versions to fix Docker release build failure caused by superseded package versions (#NA)
  • Bump the minimum dbt-core-experimental-parser to 2.0.0a4 (#13065)
