Release news
A new release of Kedro (version 0.19.3) went out last week. The main addition is the new %load_node line magic to load and debug nodes, compatible with IPython, Jupyter, VSCode, and Databricks. The feature means you can now prototype Kedro nodes faster in the notebook platform of your choice! You can find out more in the updated documentation. Kudos to @Nok Lam Chan for leading this feature!
Kedro-Viz version 8.0 has just been released. This new release adds publish and share Kedro-Viz hosting support for Azure and GCP, extending previous functionality for sharing on AWS. The release also introduces a new mechanism for adding previews for your own datasets.
There have also been recent releases of Kedro-Datasets (version 2.1.0) and the kedro-telemetry plugin (version 0.3.2). Check out the release notes for details.
