Now Available: Meltano v1.72.0

Today, we are excited to release Meltano version 1.72.0, which:

• lets command shortcuts be defined per plugin and invoked using meltano invoke <plugin>:<command>, including out-of-box support for the SQLFluff linter (e.g. meltano invoke sqlfluff:lint to lint dbt models in transform/models) (thanks Charles Julian Knight!)
• adds out-of-the-box support for the Slack source
• adds out-of-the-box support for the Redshift destination (thanks Ingo Klose!)
• fixes a bug where internal error messages may be reported instead of the target output, in case that a target fails before the tap

Excited to try it out?

To upgrade Meltano and your Meltano project to the latest version, navigate to your project directory, activate the appropriate virtual environment, and run meltano upgrade. This will upgrade the meltano package and apply any necessary changes to your project.
