- **added** — Warn users if they are using a deprecated dbt version
- **fixed** — Fix intermittent "references a model that does not exist" parsing error when unit testing versioned models, caused by non-deterministic filesystem parse order
- **fixed** — Fix partial parsing ghost-duplicate that raised a false "found two data_tests" error by cleaning up disabled generic and singular test nodes on schema re-parse
- **fixed** — Stop resolving a unit test's tested model eagerly at parse time; resolve it only in the single deterministic post-parse pass so resolution no longer depends on filesystem parse order

##### dbt-core 1.11.13 - August 12, 2026

###### Features

- Warn users if they are using a deprecated dbt version ([#15964](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/15964))

###### Fixes

- Fix intermittent "references a model that does not exist" parsing error when unit testing versioned models, caused by non-deterministic filesystem parse order ([#11139](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/11139))
- Fix partial parsing ghost-duplicate that raised a false "found two data_tests" error by cleaning up disabled generic and singular test nodes on schema re-parse ([#](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/))
- Stop resolving a unit test's tested model eagerly at parse time; resolve it only in the single deterministic post-parse pass so resolution no longer depends on filesystem parse order at all (deeper fix for ([#11139](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/11139))

###### Dependencies

- Bump ca-certificates, libpq-dev, and openssh-client in Docker image to current bullseye versions to fix Docker release build failure caused by superseded package versions ([#NA](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/NA))
