## jax 0.2.11 (unreleased)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.10...master).
* New features:
* Bug fixes:
* Breaking changes:
## jax 0.2.10 (March 5 2021)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.9...jax-v0.2.10).
* New features:
* {func}`jax.scipy.stats.chi2` is now available as a distribution with logpdf and pdf methods.
* {func}`jax.scipy.stats.betabinom` is now available as a distribution with logpmf and pmf methods.
* Added {func}`jax.experimental.jax2tf.call_tf` to call TensorFlow functions
from JAX ({jax-issue}`#5627`)
and [README](https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/jax2tf/README.md#calling-tensorflow-functions-from-jax)).
* Extended the batching rule for `lax.pad` to support batching of the padding values.
* Bug fixes:
* {func}`jax.numpy.take` properly handles negative indices ({jax-issue}`#5768`)
* Breaking changes:
* JAX's promotion rules were adjusted to make promotion more consistent and
invariant to JIT. In particular, binary operations can now result in weakly-typed
values when appropriate. The main user-visible effect of the change is that
some operations result in outputs of different precision than before; for
example the expression `jnp.bfloat16(1) + 0.1 * jnp.arange(10)`
previously returned a `float64` array, and now returns a `bfloat16` array.
JAX's type promotion behavior is described at {ref}`type-promotion`.
* {func}`jax.numpy.linspace` now computes the floor of integer values, i.e.,
rounding towards -inf rather than 0. This change was made to match NumPy
1.20.0.
* {func}`jax.numpy.i0` no longer accepts complex numbers. Previously the
function computed the absolute value of complex arguments. This change was
made to match the semantics of NumPy 1.20.0.
* Several {mod}`jax.numpy` functions no longer accept tuples or lists in place
of array arguments: {func}`jax.numpy.pad`, :func`jax.numpy.ravel`,
{func}`jax.numpy.repeat`, {func}`jax.numpy.reshape`.
In general, {mod}`jax.numpy` functions should be used with scalars or array arguments.
## jaxlib 0.1.62 (Unreleased)
* New features:
* jaxlib wheels are now built to require AVX instructions on x86-64 machines
by default. If you want to use JAX on a machine that doesn't support AVX,
you can build a jaxlib from source using the `--target_cpu_features` flag
to `build.py`. `--target_cpu_features` also replaces
`--enable_march_native`.
## jaxlib 0.1.61 (February 12 2021)
## jaxlib 0.1.60 (Febuary 3 2021)
* Bug fixes:
* Fixed a memory leak when converting CPU DeviceArrays to NumPy arrays. The
memory leak was present in jaxlib releases 0.1.58 and 0.1.59.
* `bool`, `int8`, and `uint8` are now considered safe to cast to
`bfloat16` NumPy extension type.
## jax 0.2.9 (January 26 2021)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.8...jax-v0.2.9).
* New features:
* Extend the {mod}`jax.experimental.loops` module with support for pytrees. Improved
error checking and error messages.
* Add {func}`jax.experimental.enable_x64` and {func}`jax.experimental.disable_x64`.
These are context managers which allow X64 mode to be temporarily enabled/disabled
within a session.
* Breaking changes:
* {func}`jax.ops.segment_sum` now drops segment IDs that are out of range rather
than wrapping them into the segment ID space. This was done for performance
reasons.
## jaxlib 0.1.59 (January 15 2021)
## jax 0.2.8 (January 12 2021)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.7...jax-v0.2.8).
* New features:
* Add {func}`jax.closure_convert` for use with higher-order custom
derivative functions. ({jax-issue}`#5244`)
* Add {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.call` to call a custom Python
function on the host and return a result to the device computation.
({jax-issue}`#5243`)
* Bug fixes:
* `jax.numpy.arccosh` now returns the same branch as `numpy.arccosh` for
complex inputs ({jax-issue}`#5156`)
* `host_callback.id_tap` now works for `jax.pmap` also. There is a
optional parameter for `id_tap` and `id_print` to request that the
device from which the value is tapped be passed as a keyword argument
to the tap function ({jax-issue}`#5182`).
* Breaking changes:
* `jax.numpy.pad` now takes keyword arguments. Positional argument `constant_values`
has been removed. In addition, passing unsupported keyword arguments raises an error.
* Changes for {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_tap` ({jax-issue}`#5243`):
* Removed support for `kwargs` for {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_tap`.
(This support has been deprecated for a few months.)
* Changed the printing of tuples for {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_print`
to use '(' instead of '['.
* Changed the {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_print` in presence of JVP
to print a pair of primal and tangent. Previously, there were two separate
print operations for the primals and the tangent.
* `host_callback.outfeed_receiver` has been removed (it is not necessary,
and was deprecated a few months ago).
* New features:
* New flag for debugging `inf`, analagous to that for `NaN` ({jax-issue}`#5224`).
## jax 0.2.7 (Dec 4 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.6...jax-v0.2.7).
* New features:
* Add `jax.device_put_replicated`
* Add multi-host support to `jax.experimental.sharded_jit`
* Add support for differentiating eigenvaleus computed by `jax.numpy.linalg.eig`
* Add support for building on Windows platforms
* Add support for general in_axes and out_axes in `jax.pmap`
* Add complex support for `jax.numpy.linalg.slogdet`
* Bug fixes:
* Fix higher-than-second order derivatives of `jax.numpy.sinc` at zero
* Fix some hard-to-hit bugs around symbolic zeros in transpose rules
* Breaking changes:
* `jax.experimental.optix` has been deleted, in favor of the standalone
`optax` Python package.
* indexing of JAX arrays with non-tuple sequences now raises a `TypeError`. This type of indexing
has been deprecated in Numpy since v1.16, and in JAX since v0.2.4.
See {jax-issue}`#4564`.
## jax 0.2.6 (Nov 18 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.5...jax-v0.2.6).
* New Features:
* Add support for shape-polymorphic tracing for the jax.experimental.jax2tf converter.
See [README.md](https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/jax2tf/README.md).
* Breaking change cleanup
* Raise an error on non-hashable static arguments for jax.jit and
xla_computation. See [cb48f42](https://github.com/google/jax/commit/cb48f42).
* Improve consistency of type promotion behavior ({jax-issue}`#4744`):
* Adding a complex Python scalar to a JAX floating point number respects the precision of
the JAX float. For example, `jnp.float32(1) + 1j` now returns `complex64`, where previously
it returned `complex128`.
* Results of type promotion with 3 or more terms involving uint64, a signed int, and a third type
are now independent of the order of arguments. For example:
`jnp.result_type(jnp.uint64, jnp.int64, jnp.float16)` and
`jnp.result_type(jnp.float16, jnp.uint64, jnp.int64)` both return `float16`, where previously
the first returned `float64` and the second returned `float16`.
* The contents of the (undocumented) `jax.lax_linalg` linear algebra module
are now exposed publicly as `jax.lax.linalg`.
* `jax.random.PRNGKey` now produces the same results in and out of JIT compilation
({jax-issue}`#4877`).
This required changing the result for a given seed in a few particular cases:
* With `jax_enable_x64=False`, negative seeds passed as Python integers now return a different result
outside JIT mode. For example, `jax.random.PRNGKey(-1)` previously returned
`[4294967295, 4294967295]`, and now returns `[0, 4294967295]`. This matches the behavior in JIT.
* Seeds outside the range representable by `int64` outside JIT now result in an `OverflowError`
rather than a `TypeError`. This matches the behavior in JIT.
To recover the keys returned previously for negative integers with `jax_enable_x64=False`
outside JIT, you can use:
```
key = random.PRNGKey(-1).at[0].set(0xFFFFFFFF)
```
* DeviceArray now raises `RuntimeError` instead of `ValueError` when trying
to access its value while it has been deleted.
## jaxlib 0.1.58 (January 12ish 2021)
* Fixed a bug that meant JAX sometimes return platform-specific types (e.g.,
`np.cint`) instead of standard types (e.g., `np.int32`). (#4903)
* Fixed a crash when constant-folding certain int16 operations. (#4971)
* Added an `is_leaf` predicate to {func}`pytree.flatten`.
## jaxlib 0.1.57 (November 12 2020)
* Fixed manylinux2010 compliance issues in GPU wheels.
* Switched the CPU FFT implementation from Eigen to PocketFFT.
* Fixed a bug where the hash of bfloat16 values was not correctly initialized
and could change (#4651).
* Add support for retaining ownership when passing arrays to DLPack (#4636).
* Fixed a bug for batched triangular solves with sizes greater than 128 but not
a multiple of 128.
* Fixed a bug when performing concurrent FFTs on multiple GPUs (#3518).
* Fixed a bug in profiler where tools are missing (#4427).
* Dropped support for CUDA 10.0.
## jax 0.2.5 (October 27 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.4...jax-v0.2.5).
* Improvements:
* Ensure that `check_jaxpr` does not perform FLOPS. See {jax-issue}`#4650`.
* Expanded the set of JAX primitives converted by jax2tf.
See [primitives_with_limited_support.md](https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/jax2tf/primitives_with_limited_support.md).
## jax 0.2.4 (October 19 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.3...jax-v0.2.4).
* Improvements:
* Add support for `remat` to jax.experimental.host_callback. See {jax-issue}`#4608`.
* Deprecations
* Indexing with non-tuple sequences is now deprecated, following a similar deprecation in Numpy.
In a future release, this will result in a TypeError. See {jax-issue}`#4564`.
## jaxlib 0.1.56 (October 14, 2020)
## jax 0.2.3 (October 14 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.2...jax-v0.2.3).

* Added `jax.custom_jvp` and `jax.custom_vjp` from {jax-issue}`#2026`, see the [tutorial notebook](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks/Custom_derivative_rules_for_Python_code.html). Deprecated `jax.custom_transforms` and removed it from the docs (though it still works).
* Add `scipy.sparse.linalg.cg` {jax-issue}`#2566`.
* Changed how Tracers are printed to show more useful information for debugging {jax-issue}`#2591`.

## jaxlib 0.1.43 (March 31, 2020)
* Fixed a performance regression for Resnet-50 on GPU.
## jax 0.1.62 (March 21, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.61...jax-v0.1.62).
* JAX has dropped support for Python 3.5. Please upgrade to Python 3.6 or newer.
* Removed the internal function `lax._safe_mul`, which implemented the
convention `0. * nan == 0.`. This change means some programs when
differentiated will produce nans when they previously produced correct
values, though it ensures nans rather than silently incorrect results are
produced for other programs. See #2447 and #1052 for details.
* Added an `all_gather` parallel convenience function.
* More type annotations in core code.
## jaxlib 0.1.42 (March 19, 2020)
* jaxlib 0.1.41 broke cloud TPU support due to an API incompatibility. This
release fixes it again.
* JAX has dropped support for Python 3.5. Please upgrade to Python 3.6 or newer.
## jax 0.1.61 (March 17, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.60...jax-v0.1.61).
* Fixes Python 3.5 support. This will be the last JAX or jaxlib release that
supports Python 3.5.
## jax 0.1.60 (March 17, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.59...jax-v0.1.60).
* New features:
* {py:func}`jax.pmap` has `static_broadcast_argnums` argument which allows
the user to specify arguments that should be treated as compile-time
constants and should be broadcasted to all devices. It works analogously to
`static_argnums` in {py:func}`jax.jit`.
* Improved error messages for when tracers are mistakenly saved in global state.
* Added {py:func}`jax.nn.one_hot` utility function.
* Added {mod}`jax.experimental.jet` for exponentially faster
higher-order automatic differentiation.
* Added more correctness checking to arguments of {py:func}`jax.lax.broadcast_in_dim`.
* The minimum jaxlib version is now 0.1.41.
## jaxlib 0.1.40 (March 4, 2020)
* Adds experimental support in Jaxlib for TensorFlow profiler, which allows
tracing of CPU and GPU computations from TensorBoard.
* Includes prototype support for multihost GPU computations that communicate via
NCCL.
* Improves performance of NCCL collectives on GPU.
* Adds TopK, CustomCallWithoutLayout, CustomCallWithLayout, IGammaGradA and
RandomGamma implementations.
* Supports device assignments known at XLA compilation time.
## jax 0.1.59 (February 11, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.58...jax-v0.1.59).
* Breaking changes
* The minimum jaxlib version is now 0.1.38.
* Simplified {py:class}`Jaxpr` by removing the `Jaxpr.freevars` and
`Jaxpr.bound_subjaxprs`. The call primitives (`xla_call`, `xla_pmap`,
`sharded_call`, and `remat_call`) get a new parameter `call_jaxpr` with a
fully-closed (no `constvars`) jaxpr. Also, added a new field `call_primitive`
to primitives.
* New features:
* Reverse-mode automatic differentiation (e.g. `grad`) of `lax.cond`, making it
now differentiable in both modes ({jax-issue}`#2091`)
* JAX now supports DLPack, which allows sharing CPU and GPU arrays in a
zero-copy way with other libraries, such as PyTorch.
* JAX GPU DeviceArrays now support `__cuda_array_interface__`, which is another
zero-copy protocol for sharing GPU arrays with other libraries such as CuPy
and Numba.
* JAX CPU device buffers now implement the Python buffer protocol, which allows
zero-copy buffer sharing between JAX and NumPy.
* Added JAX_SKIP_SLOW_TESTS environment variable to skip tests known as slow.
## jaxlib 0.1.39 (February 11, 2020)
* Updates XLA.
## jaxlib 0.1.38 (January 29, 2020)
* CUDA 9.0 is no longer supported.
* CUDA 10.2 wheels are now built by default.
## jax 0.1.58 (January 28, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/46014da21...jax-v0.1.58).
* Breaking changes
* JAX has dropped Python 2 support, because Python 2 reached its end of life on
January 1, 2020. Please update to Python 3.5 or newer.
* New features
> > * Forward-mode automatic differentiation (`jvp`) of while loop
> ({jax-issue}`#1980`)
> * New NumPy and SciPy functions:
>
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.fft2`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.ifft2`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.rfft`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.irfft`

## jax 0.2.11 (unreleased)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.10...master).
* New features:
* Bug fixes:
* Breaking changes:
## jax 0.2.10 (March 5 2021)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.9...jax-v0.2.10).
* New features:
* {func}`jax.scipy.stats.chi2` is now available as a distribution with logpdf and pdf methods.
* {func}`jax.scipy.stats.betabinom` is now available as a distribution with logpmf and pmf methods.
* Added {func}`jax.experimental.jax2tf.call_tf` to call TensorFlow functions
from JAX ({jax-issue}`#5627`)
and [README](https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/jax2tf/README.md#calling-tensorflow-functions-from-jax)).
* Extended the batching rule for `lax.pad` to support batching of the padding values.
* Bug fixes:
* {func}`jax.numpy.take` properly handles negative indices ({jax-issue}`#5768`)
* Breaking changes:
* JAX's promotion rules were adjusted to make promotion more consistent and
invariant to JIT. In particular, binary operations can now result in weakly-typed
values when appropriate. The main user-visible effect of the change is that
some operations result in outputs of different precision than before; for
example the expression `jnp.bfloat16(1) + 0.1 * jnp.arange(10)`
previously returned a `float64` array, and now returns a `bfloat16` array.
JAX's type promotion behavior is described at {ref}`type-promotion`.
* {func}`jax.numpy.linspace` now computes the floor of integer values, i.e.,
rounding towards -inf rather than 0. This change was made to match NumPy
1.20.0.
* {func}`jax.numpy.i0` no longer accepts complex numbers. Previously the
function computed the absolute value of complex arguments. This change was
made to match the semantics of NumPy 1.20.0.
* Several {mod}`jax.numpy` functions no longer accept tuples or lists in place
of array arguments: {func}`jax.numpy.pad`, :func`jax.numpy.ravel`,
{func}`jax.numpy.repeat`, {func}`jax.numpy.reshape`.
In general, {mod}`jax.numpy` functions should be used with scalars or array arguments.
## jaxlib 0.1.62 (Unreleased)
* New features:
* jaxlib wheels are now built to require AVX instructions on x86-64 machines
by default. If you want to use JAX on a machine that doesn't support AVX,
you can build a jaxlib from source using the `--target_cpu_features` flag
to `build.py`. `--target_cpu_features` also replaces
`--enable_march_native`.
## jaxlib 0.1.61 (February 12 2021)
## jaxlib 0.1.60 (Febuary 3 2021)
* Bug fixes:
* Fixed a memory leak when converting CPU DeviceArrays to NumPy arrays. The
memory leak was present in jaxlib releases 0.1.58 and 0.1.59.
* `bool`, `int8`, and `uint8` are now considered safe to cast to
`bfloat16` NumPy extension type.
## jax 0.2.9 (January 26 2021)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.8...jax-v0.2.9).
* New features:
* Extend the {mod}`jax.experimental.loops` module with support for pytrees. Improved
error checking and error messages.
* Add {func}`jax.experimental.enable_x64` and {func}`jax.experimental.disable_x64`.
These are context managers which allow X64 mode to be temporarily enabled/disabled
within a session.
* Breaking changes:
* {func}`jax.ops.segment_sum` now drops segment IDs that are out of range rather
than wrapping them into the segment ID space. This was done for performance
reasons.
## jaxlib 0.1.59 (January 15 2021)
## jax 0.2.8 (January 12 2021)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.7...jax-v0.2.8).
* New features:
* Add {func}`jax.closure_convert` for use with higher-order custom
derivative functions. ({jax-issue}`#5244`)
* Add {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.call` to call a custom Python
function on the host and return a result to the device computation.
({jax-issue}`#5243`)
* Bug fixes:
* `jax.numpy.arccosh` now returns the same branch as `numpy.arccosh` for
complex inputs ({jax-issue}`#5156`)
* `host_callback.id_tap` now works for `jax.pmap` also. There is a
optional parameter for `id_tap` and `id_print` to request that the
device from which the value is tapped be passed as a keyword argument
to the tap function ({jax-issue}`#5182`).
* Breaking changes:
* `jax.numpy.pad` now takes keyword arguments. Positional argument `constant_values`
has been removed. In addition, passing unsupported keyword arguments raises an error.
* Changes for {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_tap` ({jax-issue}`#5243`):
* Removed support for `kwargs` for {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_tap`.
(This support has been deprecated for a few months.)
* Changed the printing of tuples for {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_print`
to use '(' instead of '['.
* Changed the {func}`jax.experimental.host_callback.id_print` in presence of JVP
to print a pair of primal and tangent. Previously, there were two separate
print operations for the primals and the tangent.
* `host_callback.outfeed_receiver` has been removed (it is not necessary,
and was deprecated a few months ago).
* New features:
* New flag for debugging `inf`, analagous to that for `NaN` ({jax-issue}`#5224`).
## jax 0.2.7 (Dec 4 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.6...jax-v0.2.7).
* New features:
* Add `jax.device_put_replicated`
* Add multi-host support to `jax.experimental.sharded_jit`
* Add support for differentiating eigenvaleus computed by `jax.numpy.linalg.eig`
* Add support for building on Windows platforms
* Add support for general in_axes and out_axes in `jax.pmap`
* Add complex support for `jax.numpy.linalg.slogdet`
* Bug fixes:
* Fix higher-than-second order derivatives of `jax.numpy.sinc` at zero
* Fix some hard-to-hit bugs around symbolic zeros in transpose rules
* Breaking changes:
* `jax.experimental.optix` has been deleted, in favor of the standalone
`optax` Python package.
* indexing of JAX arrays with non-tuple sequences now raises a `TypeError`. This type of indexing
has been deprecated in Numpy since v1.16, and in JAX since v0.2.4.
See {jax-issue}`#4564`.
## jax 0.2.6 (Nov 18 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.5...jax-v0.2.6).
* New Features:
* Add support for shape-polymorphic tracing for the jax.experimental.jax2tf converter.
See [README.md](https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/jax2tf/README.md).
* Breaking change cleanup
* Raise an error on non-hashable static arguments for jax.jit and
xla_computation. See [cb48f42](https://github.com/google/jax/commit/cb48f42).
* Improve consistency of type promotion behavior ({jax-issue}`#4744`):
* Adding a complex Python scalar to a JAX floating point number respects the precision of
the JAX float. For example, `jnp.float32(1) + 1j` now returns `complex64`, where previously
it returned `complex128`.
* Results of type promotion with 3 or more terms involving uint64, a signed int, and a third type
are now independent of the order of arguments. For example:
`jnp.result_type(jnp.uint64, jnp.int64, jnp.float16)` and
`jnp.result_type(jnp.float16, jnp.uint64, jnp.int64)` both return `float16`, where previously
the first returned `float64` and the second returned `float16`.
* The contents of the (undocumented) `jax.lax_linalg` linear algebra module
are now exposed publicly as `jax.lax.linalg`.
* `jax.random.PRNGKey` now produces the same results in and out of JIT compilation
({jax-issue}`#4877`).
This required changing the result for a given seed in a few particular cases:
* With `jax_enable_x64=False`, negative seeds passed as Python integers now return a different result
outside JIT mode. For example, `jax.random.PRNGKey(-1)` previously returned
`[4294967295, 4294967295]`, and now returns `[0, 4294967295]`. This matches the behavior in JIT.
* Seeds outside the range representable by `int64` outside JIT now result in an `OverflowError`
rather than a `TypeError`. This matches the behavior in JIT.
To recover the keys returned previously for negative integers with `jax_enable_x64=False`
outside JIT, you can use:
```
key = random.PRNGKey(-1).at[0].set(0xFFFFFFFF)
```
* DeviceArray now raises `RuntimeError` instead of `ValueError` when trying
to access its value while it has been deleted.
## jaxlib 0.1.58 (January 12ish 2021)
* Fixed a bug that meant JAX sometimes return platform-specific types (e.g.,
`np.cint`) instead of standard types (e.g., `np.int32`). (#4903)
* Fixed a crash when constant-folding certain int16 operations. (#4971)
* Added an `is_leaf` predicate to {func}`pytree.flatten`.
## jaxlib 0.1.57 (November 12 2020)
* Fixed manylinux2010 compliance issues in GPU wheels.
* Switched the CPU FFT implementation from Eigen to PocketFFT.
* Fixed a bug where the hash of bfloat16 values was not correctly initialized
and could change (#4651).
* Add support for retaining ownership when passing arrays to DLPack (#4636).
* Fixed a bug for batched triangular solves with sizes greater than 128 but not
a multiple of 128.
* Fixed a bug when performing concurrent FFTs on multiple GPUs (#3518).
* Fixed a bug in profiler where tools are missing (#4427).
* Dropped support for CUDA 10.0.
## jax 0.2.5 (October 27 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.4...jax-v0.2.5).
* Improvements:
* Ensure that `check_jaxpr` does not perform FLOPS. See {jax-issue}`#4650`.
* Expanded the set of JAX primitives converted by jax2tf.
See [primitives_with_limited_support.md](https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/jax2tf/primitives_with_limited_support.md).
## jax 0.2.4 (October 19 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.3...jax-v0.2.4).
* Improvements:
* Add support for `remat` to jax.experimental.host_callback. See {jax-issue}`#4608`.
* Deprecations
* Indexing with non-tuple sequences is now deprecated, following a similar deprecation in Numpy.
In a future release, this will result in a TypeError. See {jax-issue}`#4564`.
## jaxlib 0.1.56 (October 14, 2020)
## jax 0.2.3 (October 14 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.2.2...jax-v0.2.3).

* Fixed `jax.experimental.stax.BatchNorm` when `scale`/`center` isn't provided.
* Fix some missing cases of broadcasting in `jax.numpy.einsum` {jax-issue}`#2512`.
* Implement `jax.numpy.cumsum` and `jax.numpy.cumprod` in terms of a parallel prefix scan {jax-issue}`#2596` and make `reduce_prod` differentiable to arbitray order {jax-issue}`#2597`.
* Add `batch_group_count` to `conv_general_dilated` {jax-issue}`#2635`.
* Add docstring for `test_util.check_grads` {jax-issue}`#2656`.
* Add `callback_transform` {jax-issue}`#2665`.
* Implement `rollaxis`, `convolve`/`correlate` 1d & 2d, `copysign`,
`trunc`, `roots`, and `quantile`/`percentile` interpolation options.
## jaxlib 0.1.43 (March 31, 2020)
* Fixed a performance regression for Resnet-50 on GPU.
## jax 0.1.62 (March 21, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.61...jax-v0.1.62).
* JAX has dropped support for Python 3.5. Please upgrade to Python 3.6 or newer.
* Removed the internal function `lax._safe_mul`, which implemented the
convention `0. * nan == 0.`. This change means some programs when
differentiated will produce nans when they previously produced correct
values, though it ensures nans rather than silently incorrect results are
produced for other programs. See #2447 and #1052 for details.
* Added an `all_gather` parallel convenience function.
* More type annotations in core code.
## jaxlib 0.1.42 (March 19, 2020)
* jaxlib 0.1.41 broke cloud TPU support due to an API incompatibility. This
release fixes it again.
* JAX has dropped support for Python 3.5. Please upgrade to Python 3.6 or newer.
## jax 0.1.61 (March 17, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.60...jax-v0.1.61).
* Fixes Python 3.5 support. This will be the last JAX or jaxlib release that
supports Python 3.5.
## jax 0.1.60 (March 17, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.59...jax-v0.1.60).
* New features:
* {py:func}`jax.pmap` has `static_broadcast_argnums` argument which allows
the user to specify arguments that should be treated as compile-time
constants and should be broadcasted to all devices. It works analogously to
`static_argnums` in {py:func}`jax.jit`.
* Improved error messages for when tracers are mistakenly saved in global state.
* Added {py:func}`jax.nn.one_hot` utility function.
* Added {mod}`jax.experimental.jet` for exponentially faster
higher-order automatic differentiation.
* Added more correctness checking to arguments of {py:func}`jax.lax.broadcast_in_dim`.
* The minimum jaxlib version is now 0.1.41.
## jaxlib 0.1.40 (March 4, 2020)
* Adds experimental support in Jaxlib for TensorFlow profiler, which allows
tracing of CPU and GPU computations from TensorBoard.
* Includes prototype support for multihost GPU computations that communicate via
NCCL.
* Improves performance of NCCL collectives on GPU.
* Adds TopK, CustomCallWithoutLayout, CustomCallWithLayout, IGammaGradA and
RandomGamma implementations.
* Supports device assignments known at XLA compilation time.
## jax 0.1.59 (February 11, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/jax-v0.1.58...jax-v0.1.59).
* Breaking changes
* The minimum jaxlib version is now 0.1.38.
* Simplified {py:class}`Jaxpr` by removing the `Jaxpr.freevars` and
`Jaxpr.bound_subjaxprs`. The call primitives (`xla_call`, `xla_pmap`,
`sharded_call`, and `remat_call`) get a new parameter `call_jaxpr` with a
fully-closed (no `constvars`) jaxpr. Also, added a new field `call_primitive`
to primitives.
* New features:
* Reverse-mode automatic differentiation (e.g. `grad`) of `lax.cond`, making it
now differentiable in both modes ({jax-issue}`#2091`)
* JAX now supports DLPack, which allows sharing CPU and GPU arrays in a
zero-copy way with other libraries, such as PyTorch.
* JAX GPU DeviceArrays now support `__cuda_array_interface__`, which is another
zero-copy protocol for sharing GPU arrays with other libraries such as CuPy
and Numba.
* JAX CPU device buffers now implement the Python buffer protocol, which allows
zero-copy buffer sharing between JAX and NumPy.
* Added JAX_SKIP_SLOW_TESTS environment variable to skip tests known as slow.
## jaxlib 0.1.39 (February 11, 2020)
* Updates XLA.
## jaxlib 0.1.38 (January 29, 2020)
* CUDA 9.0 is no longer supported.
* CUDA 10.2 wheels are now built by default.
## jax 0.1.58 (January 28, 2020)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/google/jax/compare/46014da21...jax-v0.1.58).
* Breaking changes
* JAX has dropped Python 2 support, because Python 2 reached its end of life on
January 1, 2020. Please update to Python 3.5 or newer.
* New features
> > * Forward-mode automatic differentiation (`jvp`) of while loop
> ({jax-issue}`#1980`)
> * New NumPy and SciPy functions:
>
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.fft2`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.ifft2`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.rfft`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.irfft`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.rfft2`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.irfft2`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.rfftn`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.irfftn`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.fftfreq`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.fft.rfftfreq`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.linalg.matrix_rank`
> * {py:func}`jax.numpy.linalg.matrix_power`
> * {py:func}`jax.scipy.special.betainc`
> * Batched Cholesky decomposition on GPU now uses a more efficient batched
> kernel.
### Notable bug fixes
* With the Python 3 upgrade, JAX no longer depends on `fastcache`, which should
help with installation.
