Profiles 0.26 Changelog

Version 0.26.0

23 July 2026
Schema version: 99

Release Schedule

What’s New

• Rule-based filtering (ID Graph Cardinality Rules) is now supported in ID Stitcher for BigQuery, in addition to Snowflake
• ID Stitcher metadata logging (log_direct_edge_info and log_node_metadata) is now supported for BigQuery, in addition to Snowflake. See ID Stitcher
• Per-source edge attribution: Each bucket in the edges_by_type metadata column now carries a sources[] array listing the source models that contributed the edge. See Identity Graph
• The <material>_<entity>_CARDINALITY_AUDIT table includes a new source_models column, so you can trace a capped or dropped edge back to the source models that produced it
• Incremental entity var bundling: Support to compute incremental entity vars in a bundle is now available.
• Profiles writes user-facing output tables to a schema separate from its internal working tables.
• The pb CLI supports shell autocompletion

Miscellaneous

• BigQuery queries now enforce GoogleSQL, with normalized JSON and time expressions
• S3 configuration resolution and the Redshift S3 write path support IAM role authentication, in addition to key-based authentication
• The pb version is included in the task summary
• Snowflake OCSP cache miss errors can be suppressed using a PB environment toggle

Bug Fixes

• Rebase-affected default materials are now reused at compile time
• rebase_incremental is no longer silently skipped in already-materialized timegrain buckets
• Material cleanup now tolerates dependency cycles instead of failing
• Connection leaks and broken pipe errors caused by unbounded connection pools are fixed
• Query tags work again on Snowflake

Known Issues

BigQuery

• pb validate access command does not work for BigQuery.

Redshift

• If two different users create material objects on the same schema, RudderStack gives an error during cleanup when trying to drop views created by the other user, like user_var_table.
• Cross-database references can fail on Redshift for a few clusters.
• While creating activations, validation for Redshift does not work correctly in the RudderStack dashboard.

Other issues

• Linux users might see this warning for all command runs — you can ignore it:

WARN[0000]log.go:228 gosnowflake.(*defaultLogger).Warn DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS envvar looks to be not set, this can lead to runaway dbus-daemon processes. 

To avoid this, set envvar DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus (if it exists) or DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/dev/null

• pb insert does not work for Redshift, Databricks, and BigQuery.
• If you are referring a public package in the project and get the ssh: handshake failed error, then you will have to manually remove the entire folder from WhtGitCache to make it work.
