Major features and improvements

• Added raise_errors argument to find_pipelines. If True, the first pipeline for which autodiscovery fails will cause an error to be raised. The default behaviour is still to raise a warning for each failing pipeline.
• It is now possible to use Kedro without having rich installed.
• Updated custom logging behavior: conf/logging.yml will be used if it exists and KEDRO_LOGGING_CONFIG is not set; otherwise, default_logging.yml will be used.

Bug fixes and other changes

• User defined catch-all dataset factory patterns now override the default pattern provided by the runner.

Upcoming deprecations for Kedro 0.20.0

• All micro-packaging commands (kedro micropkg pull, kedro micropkg package) are deprecated and will be removed in Kedro 0.20.0.

Documentation changes

• Improved documentation for custom starters
• Added a new docs section on deploying Kedro project on AWS Airflow MWAA
