0.19.7

Major features and improvements

• Exposed load and save publicly for each dataset in the core kedro library, and enabled other datasets to do the same. If a dataset doesn't expose load or save publicly, Kedro will fall back to using _load or _save, respectively.
• Kedro commands are now lazily loaded to add performance gains when running Kedro commands.
• Implemented key completion support for accessing datasets in the DataCatalog.
• Implemented dataset pretty printing.
• Implemented DataCatalog pretty printing.
• Moved to an opt-out model for telemetry, enabling it by default without requiring prior consent.

Bug fixes and other changes

• Updated error message for invalid catalog entries.
• Updated error message for catalog entries when the dataset class is not found with hints on how to resolve the issue.
• Fixed a bug in the DataCatalog shallow_copy() method to ensure it returns the type of the used catalog and doesn't cast it to DataCatalog.
• Made kedro-telemetry a core dependency.
• Fixed a bug when OmegaConfigLoader is printed, there are few missing arguments.
• Fixed a bug when where iterating OmegaConfigLoader's keys return empty dictionary.
