We are working on updating altair-viz/vega_datasets in:

• ENH: Change to CDN for base url altair-viz/vega_datasets#42
• Update to vega datasets v2 altair-viz/vega_datasets#40

In the meantime you could use this link for direct access to the dataset.

Closing as this related to the python package. Yes, we updated the datasets in v2 as documented in https://github.com/vega/vega-datasets/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#version-20.
