 * Modified the mechanism of importing datasets, raise more explicit error when dependencies are missing.
 * Added validation for configuration file used to override run commands via the CLI.
 * Moved the default environment `base` and `local` from config loader to `_ProjectSettings`. This enables the use of config loader as a standalone class without affecting existing Kedro Framework users.
+
 ## Bug fixes and other changes
 * Added a new field `add-ons` to `pyproject.toml` when a project is created.
 * Reduced `spaceflights` data to minimise waiting times during tutorial execution.
 * Added validation to node tags to be consistent with node names.
+* Removed `pip-tools` as a dependency.
 
 ## Breaking changes to the API
 * Renamed the `data_sets` argument and the `_data_sets` attribute in `Catalog` and their references to `datasets` and `_datasets` respectively.
