+- Improve run times for large projects by reusing connections by default ([#1082](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-snowflake/issues/1082))
+- Improve run times when using key pair auth by caching the private key ([#1082](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-snowflake/issues/1082))
+- Add support for Iceberg table materializations. ([#321](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-snowflake/issues/321))
+- Microbatch incremental strategy ([#1182](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-snowflake/issues/1182))
+- Add support for Iceberg table format in Dynamic Tables ([#1183](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-snowflake/issues/1183))

+
+### Fixes

+- Update relation caching to correctly identify dynamic tables, accounting for Snowflake's `2024_03` bundle ([#1016](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-snowflake/issues/1016))
