Release v0.8.2

• Make hatch a prerequisite (#137). In version 1.9.4, hatch has become a prerequisite for installation in the GitHub workflow for the project's main branch, due to occasional failures in pip install hatch that depend on the local environment. This change, which includes defining the hatch version as an environment variable and adding a new step for installing hatch with a specific version, aims to enhance the reliability of the build and testing process by eliminating potential installation issues with hatch. Users should install hatch manually before executing the Makefile, as the line pip install hatch has been removed from the Makefile. This change aligns with the approach taken for ucx, and users are expected to understand the requirement to install prerequisites before executing the Makefile. To contribute to this project, please install hatch using pip install hatch, clone the GitHub repository, and run make dev to start the development environment and install necessary dependencies.
• support files with unicode BOM (#138). The recent change to the open-source library introduces support for handling files with a Unicode Byte Order Mark (BOM) during file upload and download operations in Databricks Workspace. This new functionality, added to the WorkspacePath class, allows for easier reading of text from files with the addition of a read_text method. When downloading a file, if it starts with a BOM, it will be detected and used for decoding, regardless of the preferred encoding based on the system's locale. The change includes a new test function that verifies the accurate encoding and decoding of files with different types of BOM using the appropriate encoding. Despite the inability to test Databrick notebooks with a BOM due to the Databricks platform modifying the uploaded data, this change enhances support for handling files with various encodings and BOM, improving compatibility with a broader range of file formats, and ensuring more accurate handling of files with BOM.
