3 | 3 | ## Summary
|
4 |
| -TBC |
| 4 | +This release candidate adds a load of new features, powered by a complete refactor of the core processing of the package by moving it out to the new `base` macro functionality provided in `snowplow_utils`. This enables users to now specify custom fields for sessionization and user identification, to add custom entities/SDEs fields to the base events table for redshift/postgres, and to add passthrough fields to the derived tables so you can now more easily add your own fields to our tables. In addition we've increased the flexibility of how you apply user stitching, and made it available on the page views table! |

| 6 | +As always with a release candidate please feedback any issues you find, either via [Github](https://github.com/snowplow/dbt-snowplow-web/issues/new/choose) or [Discourse](https://discourse.snowplow.io/), and the new docs for this version of the package are available at a temporary [preview docs site](https://deploy-preview-445--snowplow-docs.netlify.app/docs/modeling-your-data/modeling-your-data-with-dbt/dbt-models/dbt-web-data-model/) before they are deployed to the main site when the full version of the package is released. |
