 ## Under the hood
 * Update the default implementation of concat macro to use `||` operator ([#373](https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt-utils/pull/314) [@ChristopheDuong](https://github.com/ChristopheDuong)). Note this may be a breaking change for spark users.
+- Use `power()` instead of `pow()` in `generate_series()` and `haversine_distance()` as they are synonyms in most SQL dialects, but some dialects only have `power()` ([#354](https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt-utils/pull/354) from [@swanderz](https://github.com/swanderz))
