It seems to me that jaxlib development must be mostly happening on CI, because some basics are pretty essential. Here are a few things I've been typing/carrying for a while in my flow:
* Add .bazelrc.user to .gitignore so it doesn't accidentally get checked in.
* Add configs for 'debug_symbols' and 'debug' that make some things minimally workable under a debugger (or to get backtraces, etc).
* Add `--force-reinstall` to the copy/paste command to update a built jaxlib wheel (without this, if you are iterating, it fairly quietly does nothing).
* Cleaned up use of section levels
* Renamed ma to multiply_add and sq_add to square_add
* Other minor clarifications
* Separated the Colabs into Tutorials and Advanced Tutorials
Updates XLA to 00afc7bb81.
The new XLA release removes the use of protocol buffers from the XLA client. Fixes#349.
Add backward compatibility shims to jaxlib to allow older jax releases to still work on an up to date jaxlib.
The new XLA release also incorporates a fix that avoids a host-device copy for every iteration of a `lax.fori_loop()` on GPU. Fixes#402.
Add a new jaxlib.__version__ field, change jax/jaxlib compatibility logic to check for it.
An alternative to installing `jax` using `pip install -e .` is to use `python setup.py`. This creates build/ and dist/ directories that should not be included in diffs since they are meant to be local.
This PR adds those entries to the .gitignore file
