Major features and improvements
* Kedro commands now work from any subdirectory within a Kedro project.
* Kedro CLI now provides a better error message when project commands are run outside of a project i.e. `kedro run`
* Added the `--telemetry` flag to `kedro new`, allowing the user to register consent to have user analytics collected at the same time as the project is created.
* Improved the performance of `Pipeline` object creation and summing.
* Improved suggestions to resume failed pipeline runs.
* Dropped the dependency on `toposort` in favour of the built-in `graphlib` module.
* Cookiecutter errors are shown in short format without the `--verbose` flag.
Bug fixes and other changes
* Updated `kedro pipeline create` and `kedro pipeline delete` to read the base environment from the project settings.
* Updated CLI command `kedro catalog resolve` to read credentials properly.
* Changed the path of where pipeline tests generated with `kedro pipeline create` from `<project root>/src/tests/pipelines/<pipeline name>` to `<project root>/tests/pipelines/<pipeline name>`.
* Updated ``.gitignore`` to prevent pushing MLflow local runs folder to a remote forge when using MLflow and Git.
* Fixed error handling message for malformed yaml/json files in OmegaConfigLoader.
* Fixed a bug in `node`-creation allowing self-dependencies when using transcoding, that is datasets named like `nameformat`.
* Improved error message when passing wrong value to node.
Breaking changes to the API
* Methods `_is_project` and `_find_kedro_project` have been moved to `kedro.utils`. We recommend not using private methods in your code, but if you do, please update your code to use the new location.
Documentation changes
* Added missing description for `merge_strategy` argument in OmegaConfigLoader.
* Added documentation on best practices for testing nodes and pipelines.
* Clarified docs around using custom resolvers without a full Kedro project.
