2.0.0

Source tables are now dbt models with materialized: incremental and on_schema_change: append_new_columns configs. This means that new columns can be easily released in new versions, and dbt automatically will add them to the tables on the next run.

For existing <2.0.0 users, see the upgrade guide here, and reach out if you have any questions!

Features

• Rework the sources to be dbt models rather than manually created by @jaypeedevlin in (#188)
• Allow dynamic routing of schema and database for source tables based on target (because they're now dbt models which use standard schema and database configs!)

Fixes

• Fixed issue with Docs Blocks in Exposures 187 by @charles-astrafy in #189

Breaking Changes

• See the upgrade guide here for existing <2.0.0 users, and reach out if you have any questions!
