K We are excited to announce that Kedro 0.19.13 is now available! K 🚀 Major features and improvements • Unified

pipeline()

and

Pipeline

into a single module (

kedro.pipeline

), aligning with the `node()`/`Node` design pattern and improving namespace handling. 🪲 Bug fixes and other changes • Fixed bug where project creation workflow would use the

main

branch version of

kedro-starters

instead of the respective release version. • Fixed namespacing for

confirms

during pipeline creation to support

IncrementalDataset

. • Fixed bug where `OmegaConf`cause an error during config resolution with runtime parameters. • Cached

inputs

in

Node

when created from dictionary for better performance. • Enabled pluggy tracing only when logging level is set to

DEBUG

to speed up the execution of project runs. ⚠️ Upcoming deprecations for Kedro 1.0.0 • Added a deprecation warning for

KedroDataCatalog

that will replace

DataCatalog

while adopting the original

DataCatalog

name. • Add deprecation warning for

--namespace

option for

kedro run

. It will be replaced with

--namespaces

option which will allow for running multiple namespaces together. • The

modular_pipeline

module is deprecated and will be removed in Kedro 1.0.0. Use the

pipeline

module instead. Note: On March 20th, a security vulnerability, CVE-2024-12215, was identified in Kedro. This issue stems from the deprecated micropackaging functionality, which is scheduled for removal in the upcoming Kedro 1.0 release. While we agree with the CVE assigned, this vulnerability only poses a risk if you pull a malicious micropackage from an untrusted source. If you’re concerned, we recommend avoiding the micropackaging feature for now and upgrading to Kedro 1.0 once it’s released. kedroid Community contributions Many thanks to the following Kedroids for contributing PRs to this release: • @Arnout Verboven • gabohc • @Luis Chaves Rodriguez We welcome every community contribution, large or small.
