# Release Notes

## 0.3.5.1
* Noisy Student Training reintroduced.
* Robust but slower settings for optimizer policy.
* Unsupervised pretraining supports larger model sizes.
* Distillation API.
* Removed warmup due to overfitting bug, will slow down training speeds but not affect final accuracy. 
* Documentation for graphical front end, ensembling, and distillation. 

## 0.3.5
* Revised API for autofit and advanced "core" api.
* find_optimizer_policy searches for optimal policy for optimizer settings. 
* find_batch_size searches for largest batch size that fits in memory to speedup training.
* General API for data and model specifications.
* Unsupervised pretraining in the advanced API. 
* Added reflection on spatial transformations. 


## 0.3.4
* Added quickstart tutorial documentation.
* Separated console output from logging to disk.
* Support for several data formats.
* Anchor box conversion for Fizyr Keras Retinanet model. 
* Localization/detection support for spatial transforms. 
* Protobuf logging on intermediate search phases.

(codename bravo)

## 0.2.1
* Multiple bug fixes and performance improvements
* Adds supports for TPU training in GCP using Tensorflow 1.15
* Package name has been renamed masterful from masterful_lite

(fka 0.1.5)

## 0.2
* Support for multiple instance segmentation masks and bounding boxes has been added. 

Breaking Changes:

* This add an API breaking change in the way that labels and masks are packed. See the updated documentation for details.

(fka 0.1.2)

## 0.1
* Episilon greedy based meta learning algorithm. 

Known Issues:

* Slow as it requires frequent shuffling between CPU and GPU via py_function.
