Kedro

Major features and improvements
* Rebrand across all documentation and Kedro assets.
* Added support for variable interpolation in the catalog with the `OmegaConfigLoader`.

Major features and improvements
* `kedro run --params` now updates interpolated parameters correctly when using `OmegaConfigLoader`.
* Added `metadata` attribute to `kedro.io` datasets. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.
* Added `kedro.logging.RichHandler`. This replaces the default `rich.logging.RichHandler` and is more flexible, user can turn off the `rich` traceback if needed.

Bug fixes and other changes
* `OmegaConfigLoader` will return a `dict` instead of `DictConfig`.
* `OmegaConfigLoader` does not show a `MissingConfigError` when the config files exist but are empty.

Documentation changes
* Added documentation for collaborative experiment tracking within Kedro-Viz.
* Revised section on deployment to better organise content and reflect how recently docs have been updated.
* Minor improvements to fix typos and revise docs to align with engineering changes.

Breaking changes to the API
* `kedro package` does not produce `.egg` files anymore, and now relies exclusively on `.whl` files.

Major features and improvements
* Added `KEDRO_LOGGING_CONFIG` environment variable, which can be used to configure logging from the beginning of the `kedro` process.
* Removed logs folder from the kedro new project template. File-based logging will remain but just be level INFO and above and go to project root instead.


Bug fixes and other changes
* Improvements to Jupyter E2E tests.
* Added full `kedro run` CLI command to session store to improve run reproducibility using `Kedro-Viz` experiment tracking.

Documentation changes
* Improvements to documentation about configuration.
* Improvements to Sphinx toolchain including incrementing to use a newer version.
* Improvements to documentation on visualising Kedro projects on Databricks, and additional documentation about the development workflow for Kedro projects on Databricks.
* Updated Technical Steering Committee membership documentation.
* Revised documentation section about linting and formatting and extended to give details of `flake8` configuration.
* Updated table of contents for documentation to reduce scrolling.
* Expanded FAQ documentation.
* Added a 404 page to documentation.
* Added deprecation warnings about the removal of `kedro.extras.datasets`.

Major features and improvements
* Added new Kedro CLI `kedro jupyter setup` to setup Jupyter Kernel for Kedro.
* `kedro package` now includes the project configuration in a compressed `tar.gz` file.
* Added functionality to the `OmegaConfigLoader` to load configuration from compressed files of `zip` or `tar` format. This feature requires `fsspec>=2023.1.0`.
* Significant improvements to on-boarding documentation that covers setup for new Kedro users. Also some major changes to the spaceflights tutorial to make it faster to work through. We think it's a better read. Tell us if it's not.

Bug fixes and other changes
* Added a guide and tooling for developing Kedro for Databricks.
* Implemented missing dict-like interface for `_ProjectPipeline`.

A regression introduced in Kedro version `0.18.5` caused the `Kedro-Viz` console to fail to show experiment tracking correctly. If you experienced this issue, you will need to:
* upgrade to Kedro version `0.18.6`
* delete any erroneous session entries created with Kedro 0.18.5 from your session_store.db stored at `<project-path>/data/session_store.db`.

Thanks to Kedroids tomohiko kato, [tsanikgr](https://github.com/tsanikgr) and [maddataanalyst](https://github.com/maddataanalyst) for very detailed reports about the bug.

> This release introduced a bug that causes a failure in experiment tracking within the `Kedro-Viz` console. We recommend that you use Kedro version `0.18.6` in preference.

Major features and improvements
* Added new `OmegaConfigLoader` which uses `OmegaConf` for loading and merging configuration.
* Added the `--conf-source` option to `kedro run`, allowing users to specify a source for project configuration for the run.
* Added `omegaconf` syntax as option for `--params`. Keys and values can now be separated by colons or equals signs.
* Added support for generator functions as nodes, i.e. using `yield` instead of return.
* Enable chunk-wise processing in nodes with generator functions.
* Save node outputs after every `yield` before proceeding with next chunk.
* Fixed incorrect parsing of Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 URIs used in datasets.
* Added support for loading credentials from environment variables using `OmegaConfigLoader`.
* Added new `--namespace` flag to `kedro run` to enable filtering by node namespace.
* Added a new argument `node` for all four dataset hooks.
* Added the `kedro run` flags `--nodes`, `--tags`, and `--load-versions` to replace `--node`, `--tag`, and `--load-version`.

Bug fixes and other changes
* Commas surrounded by square brackets (only possible for nodes with default names) will no longer split the arguments to `kedro run` options which take a list of nodes as inputs (`--from-nodes` and `--to-nodes`).
* Fixed bug where `micropkg` manifest section in `pyproject.toml` isn't recognised as allowed configuration.
* Fixed bug causing `load_ipython_extension` not to register the `%reload_kedro` line magic when called in a directory that does not contain a Kedro project.
* Added `anyconfig`'s `ac_context` parameter to `kedro.config.commons` module functions for more flexible `ConfigLoader` customizations.
* Change reference to `kedro.pipeline.Pipeline` object throughout test suite with `kedro.modular_pipeline.pipeline` factory.
* Fixed bug causing the `after_dataset_saved` hook only to be called for one output dataset when multiple are saved in a single node and async saving is in use.
* Log level for "Credentials not found in your Kedro project config" was changed from `WARNING` to `DEBUG`.
* Added safe extraction of tar files in `micropkg pull` to fix vulnerability caused by [CVE-2007-4559](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-gw9q-c7gh-j9vm).
* Documentation improvements
* Bug fix in table font size
* Updated API docs links for datasets
* Improved CLI docs for `kedro run`
* Revised documentation for visualisation to build plots and for experiment tracking
* Added example for loading external credentials to the Hooks documentation
