1 total change • 1 possible breaking change

Data Model(s)	Change type	Old	New	Notes
All models	`source_relation` column (when using a single Salesforce Marketing Cloud schema)	Empty string (`''`)	`<database>.<schema>`

Introduces the new (recommended) salesforce_marketing_cloud_sources variable for more robust union data configuration. The old salesforce_marketing_cloud_union_schemas and salesforce_marketing_cloud_union_databases variables will still be supported. See the README for specific details.

Adds the fivetran_using_source_casing variable for case-sensitive destination support. When enabled, downstream transformations respect source casing to ensure consistent results. See the Additional Configurations section of the README for details.
Introduces fivetran_utils.partition_by_source_relation to conditionally include source_relation in partition clauses only when multiple sources are configured.

Corrects the identifier for the triggered_send source table. Previously, this was pointing to the send table.

Nests the enabled attribute under config: for relevant source tables in the src_salesforce_marketing_cloud.yml file to align with recent dbt updates.
Adds consistency data validation tests for all end models.

In the quickstart.yml file:
- Adds table_variables for relevant sources to prevent missing sources from blocking downstream Quickstart models.

Updated package to maintain compatibility with dbt-core versions both before and after v1.10.6, which introduced a breaking change to multi-argument test syntax (e.g., unique_combination_of_columns).
Temporarily removed unsupported tests to avoid errors and ensure smoother upgrades across different dbt-core versions. These tests will be reintroduced once a safe migration path is available.
- Removed all dbt_utils.unique_combination_of_columns tests.
- Moved loaded_at_field: _fivetran_synced under the config: block in src_salesforce_marketing_cloud.yml.
