Major features and improvements

Unified pipeline() and Pipeline into a single module (kedro.pipeline), aligning with the node()/Node design pattern and improving namespace handling.

Bug fixes and other changes

Fixed bug where project creation workflow would use the main branch version of kedro-starters instead of the respective release version.
Fixed namespacing for confirms during pipeline creation to support IncrementalDataset.
Fixed bug where OmegaConfcause an error during config resolution with runtime parameters.
Cached inputs in Node when created from dictionary for better performance.
Enabled pluggy tracing only when logging level is set to DEBUG to speed up the execution of project runs.

Upcoming deprecations for Kedro 1.0.0

Added a deprecation warning for catalog CLI commands. The following commands will be replaced with their alternatives - kedro catalog rank, kedro catalog list, kedro catalog resolve and the kedro catalog create command will be removed.
Added a deprecation warning for KedroDataCatalog that will replace DataCatalog while adopting the original DataCatalog name.
Add deprecation warning for --namespace option for kedro run. It will be replaced with --namespaces option which will allow for running multiple namespaces together.
The modular_pipeline module is deprecated and will be removed in Kedro 1.0.0. Use the pipeline module instead.

Note: On March 20th, a security vulnerability, CVE-2024-12215, was identified in Kedro. This issue stems from the deprecated micropackaging functionality, which is scheduled for removal in the upcoming Kedro 1.0 release. While we agree with the CVE assigned, this vulnerability only poses a risk if you pull a malicious micropackage from an untrusted source. If you're concerned, we recommend avoiding the micropackaging feature for now and upgrading to Kedro 1.0 once it's released.

Documentation changes

Updated Dask deployment docs.
Added non-jupyter environment integration page (for example Marimo) with dynamic Kedro session loading.
