[Python-announce] [Release] Kedro 0.18.9

[Juan Luis Cano]

Hi all,
It fills us with astronomical joy to announce the release of Kedro 0.18.9! 🔶
Kedro is an open source, opinionated Python framework for creating reproducible, maintainable and modular data science code. It reduces technical debt when moving prototypes into production by providing a declarative data catalog, a solid project template, plumbing for creating data pipelines, and more. It features a rich ecosystem of plugins and third-party datasets and is currently an incubation-stage project of the LF AI & Data Foundation.
You can install it using pip or conda/[micro]mamba:
```
pip install kedro
conda/[micro]mamba install kedro --channel conda-forge
```
In this release, we added support for a metadata attribute in datasets, introduced a new `kedro.logging.RichHandler` that is more flexible and configurable, and fixed some bugs with `OmegaConfigLoader`. We also added substantial improvements to our deployment docs, and we keep making progress towards following modern Python packaging standards.
