Release 0.18.5

Major features and improvements

Added new OmegaConfigLoader which uses OmegaConf for loading and merging configuration.
Added the --conf-source option to kedro run, allowing users to specify a source for project configuration for the run.
Added omegaconf syntax as option for --params. Keys and values can now be separated by colons or equals signs.
Added support for generator functions as nodes, i.e. using yield instead of return.
- Enable chunk-wise processing in nodes with generator functions.
- Save node outputs after every yield before proceeding with next chunk.
Fixed incorrect parsing of Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 URIs used in datasets.
Added support for loading credentials from environment variables using OmegaConfigLoader.
Added new --namespace flag to kedro run to enable filtering by node namespace.
Added a new argument node for all four dataset hooks.
Added the kedro run flags --nodes, --tags, and --load-versions to replace --node, --tag, and --load-version.

Commas surrounded by square brackets (only possible for nodes with default names) will no longer split the arguments to kedro run options which take a list of nodes as inputs (--from-nodes and --to-nodes).
Fixed bug where micropkg manifest section in pyproject.toml isn't recognised as allowed configuration.
Fixed bug causing load_ipython_extension not to register the %reload_kedro line magic when called in a directory that does not contain a Kedro project.
Added anyconfig's ac_context parameter to kedro.config.commons module functions for more flexible ConfigLoader customizations.
Change reference to kedro.pipeline.Pipeline object throughout test suite with kedro.modular_pipeline.pipeline factory.
Fixed bug causing the after_dataset_saved hook only to be called for one output dataset when multiple are saved in a single node and async saving is in use.
Log level for "Credentials not found in your Kedro project config" was changed from WARNING to DEBUG.
Added safe extraction of tar files in micropkg pull to fix vulnerability caused by CVE-2007-4559.
