K Dear Kedro users, The Kedro Framework team is currently working on our next release, Kedro

0.19.0

, which we’re aiming to get to you by the end of the year. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes and we wanted to give you a heads-up about a few changes that you can adopt now to be ready when

0.19.0

hits the streets. 1. We’ve written migration guides to help you transition from the legacy

ConfigLoader

and

TemplatedConfigLoader

which will be removed in Kedro

0.19.0

in favour of

OmegaConfigLoader

2. Datasets move to their own package kedro-datasets and out of the Kedro core package in Kedro

0.19.0

. You can make the change to use that package now. Further, from version

2.0.0

of

kedro-datasets

, which will be released together with Kedro

0.19.0

, all dataset names have changed to replace the capital letter “S” in “DataSet” with a lower case “s”. For example,

CSVDataSet

is now

CSVDataset

. If you need help to update your projects in preparation of Kedro

0.19.0

or post release, please reach out to the team, we’re more than happy to help with this process. We are very excited about the changes we’re bringing you in this release and more detailed communications about all changes will go out when the release is done. If you are curious, you can already have a look at the preliminary

0.19.0
