K Hi @here, we are excited to announce that Kedro 0.18.5 is out! K

TLDR: In this release, we introduce a brand new config loader powered by

omegaconf

, updates & improvements to

kedro run

command options, the ability to use generator functions as nodes, and more!

Kedro 0.18.5 is a non-breaking release in the 0.18.x series, which means you can upgrade with:

pip install kedro==0.18.5

or

conda install -c conda-forge kedro==0.18.5

🚀 Major Features/Changes • Several configuration improvements ◦ A new config loader, the

OmegaConfigLoader

, which uses the powerful

omegaconf

library under the hood. ◦ A new flag

--conf-source

for the

kedro run

command that allows you to specify the location of your config files. ◦ You can now also use the

omegaconf

syntax with

kedro run --param

flag. • Improvements to the

kedro run

CLI to make it more consistent ◦ The flags

--node

,

--tag

, and

--load-version

are deprecated in favour of

--nodes

,

--tags

, and

--load-versions

(they’ll be removed in Kedro 0.19.0). ◦ Filter and run nodes by node namespace using the

--namespace

flag with

kedro run

. • Support for using generator functions as nodes, i.e. using

yield

instead of

return

. • New

node

argument to all four dataset hooks. • Documentation improvements and additions. 🪲 Bug fixes and other changes • Corrected the parsing of Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 URIs used in datasets. • Fixed the incorrect splitting of auto-generated node names containing commas for

kedro run

options

--from-nodes

and

--to-nodes

. • Fixed bug where

micropkg

manifest section in

pyproject.toml

wasn’t being recognised as allowed configuration. • Added safe extraction of tar files in

micropkg pull

caused by

CVE-2007-4559

• Added `anyconfig`’s

ac_context

parameter to

kedro.config.commons

module functions for more flexible

ConfigLoader

customisations. • Fixed bug causing

after_dataset_saves

hook to be called only once even when multiple datasets are being saved in a single node and async saving is in use. • And more … You can find the full list of changes in the release notes: https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/releases/tag/0.18.5 We welcome every community contribution, large or small.
