:rocket: *Highlights and major features*
Kedro 1.0:
• `DataCatalog` now supports lazy loading, has better performance, and new pipeline-aware commands (CLI + interactive).

• New CLI features like `--only-missing-outputs`, better node naming, and multiprocessing control.
• Major API simplifications and cleanup to support long-term maintainability.
• Fresh new docs experience with a modern theme and improved structure.
Kedro Viz 12.0:
• *Introducing the Workflow feature*: Quickly understand your pipeline runs with a clear visual summary—highlighting success or failure, executed nodes, and exactly where issues happened. This visibility helps you debug faster and confidently optimise your workflows. :point_right: Learn more about the Workflow feature <https://docs.kedro.org/projects/kedro-viz/en/stable/workflow-view/|here>
