Hi @here! This is a quick announcement that Kedro 0.18.2 is out and is available on PyPI and Conda > TL;DR This release is special because we've worked on improving Databricks Repos support and improved the CLI experienced by adding in pretty logging to the CLI with Rich and reducing the kedro new prompts to one question. This version also has several bug fixes and improvements: 🚀 Major features: - Kedro now uses the Rich library to format terminal logs and tracebacks. - The file

conf/base/logging.yml

is now optional. See our documentation for details. - Introduced a

kedro.starters

entry point. This enables plugins to create custom starter aliases used by

kedro starter list

and

kedro new

. - Reduced the

kedro new

prompts to just one question asking for the project name. 🐛 Bug fixes: - Bumped

pyyaml

upper bound to make Kedro compatible with the

pyodide

stack. - Kedro's framework-side logging configuration no longer performs file-based logging. Hence superfluous `info.log`/`errors.log `files are no longer created in your project root, and running Kedro on read-only file systems such as Databricks Repos is now possible. - Required

cookiecutter>=2.1.1

to address a known command injection vulnerability. - The session store no longer fails if a username cannot be found with

getpass.getuser

. - Added generic typing for

AbstractDataSet

and

AbstractVersionedDataSet

as well as typing to all datasets. To make the most of our new rich logging you can either delete

conf/base/logging.yml

if it has not been customised, or add

rich.logging.RichHandler

to the logging handlers. See the logging documentation for more. You can find the full list of changes in the release notes: https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/blob/main/RELEASE.md Kedro 0.18.2 is a non-breaking release in the 0.18.x series, upgrade with:
