Release v0.8.0

[nfx]

• Removed deploy_dashboard method (#240). In this release, the deploy_dashboard method has been removed from the dashboards.py file and the legacy deployment method has been deprecated. The deploy_dashboard method was previously used to deploy a dashboard to a workspace, but it has been replaced with the create method of the lakeview attribute of the WorkspaceClient object. Additionally, the test_dashboards_creates_dashboard_via_legacy_method method has been removed. A new test has been added to ensure that the deploy_dashboard method is no longer being used, utilizing the deprecated_call function from pytest to verify that calling the method raises a deprecation warning. This change simplifies the code and improves the overall design of the system, resolving issue #232. The _with_better_names method and create_dashboard method remain unchanged.
• Skip test that fails due to insufficient permission to create schema (#248). A new test function, test_dashboards_creates_dashboard_with_replace_database, has been added to the open-source library, but it is currently marked to be skipped due to missing permissions to create a schema. This function creates an instance of the Dashboards class with the ws parameter, creates a dashboard using the make_dashboard function, and performs various actions using the created dashboard, as well as functions such as tmp_path and sql_backend. This test function aims to ensure that the Dashboards class functions as expected when creating a dashboard with a replaced database. Once the necessary permissions for creating a schema are acquired, this test function can be enabled for further testing and validation.
• Updates to use the Databricks Python sdk 0.30.0 (#247). In this release, we have updated the project to use Databricks Python SDK version 0.30.0. This update includes changes to the execute and fetch_value functions, which now use the new StatementResponse type instead of ExecuteStatementResponse. A conditional import statement has been added to maintain compatibility with both Databricks SDK versions 0.30.0 and below. The execute function now raises TimeoutError when the specified timeout is greater than 50 seconds and the statement execution hasn't finished. Additionally, the fetch_value function has been updated to handle the case when the execute function returns None. The unit test file test_backends.py has also been updated to reflect these changes, with multiple test functions now using the StatementResponse class instead of ExecuteStatementResponse. These changes improve the system's compatibility with the latest version of the Databricks SDK, ensuring that the core functionality of the SDK continues to work as expected.
