Minor version v1.8 is targeted for final release within dbt Core on May 9, 2024.
As a maintainer of a dbt adapter, we strongly encourage you to release a corresponding minor version increment to ensure users of your adapter can make use of this new minor version.
As of dbt-core v1.8.0, we no longer need to encourage you to release a new minor version anytime we do. After following the linked upgrade guide, we guarantee your adapter will be forward compatible with all future minor versions of dbt-core (at least until v2.0 which is not yet planned).
