Kedro 0.18.3 is out!

[merelcht]

This is a quick announcement that Kedro 0.18.3 is out! 🎉

TLDR: In this release, we introduce a new autodiscovery project pipelines feature, improved the IPython experience with an alias, and %reload_kedro now accepts keywords arguments. There are couple of fixes to make Rich’s log less verbose and work better with Databricks.

Kedro 0.18.3 is a non-breaking release in the 0.18.x series, which means you can upgrade with:
pip install kedro==0.18.3 or conda install -c conda-forge kedro==0.18.3

What can you expect in this release?

🚀 Major Features/Changes:

• Autodiscovery of project pipelines. See our documentation for more details.
• The Kedro IPython extension should now be loaded with %load_ext kedro.ipython.
• The line magic %reload_kedro now accepts keywords arguments, e.g. %reload_kedro --env=prod.
• Improved resume pipeline suggestion for SequentialRunner, it will backtrack the closest persisted inputs to resume.

🪲 Bug fixes and other changes

• Changed default False value for rich logging show_locals, to make sure credentials and other sensitive data isn’t shown in logs.
• Rich traceback handling is disabled on Databricks so that exceptions now halt execution as expected.
• When using kedro run -n [some_node], if some_node is missing a namespace the resulting error message will suggest the correct node name.
• The Kedro IPython extension now surfaces errors when it cannot load a Kedro project.
• And more …
