PR Overview

This PR will address the following Issue/Feature: Issue #118

This PR will result in the following new package version: v1.7.0

This will be a breaking change as we are removing fields from an end model and could cause downstream errors with their removal.

Please provide the finalized CHANGELOG entry which details the relevant changes included in this PR:

🚨 Breaking Changes 🚨: Bug Fixes

• The following fields have been deprecated (removed) as these fields proved to be problematic across warehouses due to the end size of the fields.
  • errors_since_last_completed_sync
  • warnings_since_last_completed_sync

    Note: If you found these fields to be relevant, you may still reference the error/warning messages from within the underlying log table.

• The fivetran_platform_using_sync_alert_messages variable has been removed as it is no longer necessary due to the above changes.

Feature Updates

• The following fields have been added to display the number of error/warning messages sync last completed sync. These fields are intended to substitute the information from deprecated fields listed above.
  • number_errors_since_last_completed_sync
  • number_warnings_since_last_completed_sync
