Release notes

Sourced from tensorflow's releases.

TensorFlow 2.7.0

Release 2.7.0

Breaking Changes

• tf.keras:

  • The methods Model.fit(), Model.predict(), and Model.evaluate() will no longer uprank input data of shape (batch_size,) to become (batch_size, 1). This enables Model subclasses to process scalar data in their train_step()/test_step()/predict_step() methods.
    Note that this change may break certain subclassed models. You can revert back to the previous behavior by adding upranking yourself in the train_step()/test_step()/predict_step() methods, e.g. if x.shape.rank == 1: x = tf.expand_dims(x, axis=-1). Functional models as well as Sequential models built with an explicit input shape are not affected.
  • The methods Model.to_yaml() and keras.models.model_from_yaml have been replaced to raise a RuntimeError as they can be abused to cause arbitrary code execution. It is recommended to use JSON serialization instead of YAML, or, a better alternative, serialize to H5.
  • LinearModel and WideDeepModel are moved to the tf.compat.v1.keras.models. namespace (tf.compat.v1.keras.models.LinearModel and tf.compat.v1.keras.models.WideDeepModel), and their experimental endpoints (tf.keras.experimental.models.LinearModel and tf.keras.experimental.models.WideDeepModel) are being deprecated.
  • RNG behavior change for all tf.keras.initializers classes. For any class constructed with a fixed seed, it will no longer generate same value when invoked multiple times. Instead, it will return different value, but a determinisitic sequence. This change will make the initialize behavior align between v1 and v2.

• tf.lite:

  • Rename fields SignatureDef table in schema to maximize the parity with TF SavedModel's Signature concept.
  • Deprecate Makefile builds. Makefile users need to migrate their builds to CMake or Bazel. Please refer to the Build TensorFlow Lite with CMake and Build TensorFlow Lite for ARM boards for the migration.
  • Deprecate tflite::OpResolver::GetDelegates. The list returned by TfLite's BuiltinOpResolver::GetDelegates is now always empty. Instead, recommend using new method tflite::OpResolver::GetDelegateCreators in order to achieve lazy initialization on TfLite delegate instances.

• TF Core:

  • tf.Graph.get_name_scope() now always returns a string, as documented. Previously, when called within name_scope("") or name_scope(None) contexts, it returned None; now it returns the empty string.
  • tensorflow/core/ir/ contains a new MLIR-based Graph dialect that is isomorphic to GraphDef and will be used to replace GraphDef-based (e.g., Grappler) optimizations.
  • Deprecated and removed attrs() function in shape inference. All attributes should be queried by name now (rather than range returned) to enable changing the underlying storage there.
  • The following Python symbols were accidentally added in earlier versions of TensorFlow and now are removed. Each symbol has a replacement that should be used instead, but note the replacement's argument names are different.
    • tf.quantize_and_dequantize_v4 (accidentally introduced in TensorFlow 2.4): Use tf.quantization.quantize_and_dequantize_v2 instead.
    • tf.batch_mat_mul_v3 (accidentally introduced in TensorFlow 2.6): Use tf.linalg.matmul instead.
    • tf.sparse_segment_sum_grad (accidentally introduced in TensorFlow 2.6): Use tf.raw_ops.SparseSegmentSumGrad instead. Directly calling this op is typically not necessary, as it is automatically used when computing the gradient of tf.sparse.segment_sum.
  • Renaming of tensorflow::int64 to int_64_t in numerous places (the former is an alias for the latter) which could result in needing to regenerate selective op registration headers else execution would fail with unregistered kernels error.

• Modular File System Migration:

  • Support for S3 and HDFS file systems has been migrated to a modular file systems based approach and is now available in https://github.com/tensorflow/io. The tensorflow-io python package should be installed for S3 and HDFS support with tensorflow.

Major Features and Improvements

• Improvements to the TensorFlow debugging experience:

  • Previously, TensorFlow error stack traces involved many internal frames, which could be challenging to read through, while not being actionable for end users. As of TF 2.7, TensorFlow filters internal frames in most errors that it raises, to keep stack traces short, readable, and focused on what's actionable for end users (their own code).

    This behavior can be disabled by calling tf.debugging.disable_traceback_filtering(), and can be re-enabled via tf.debugging.enable_traceback_filtering(). If you are debugging a TensorFlow-internal issue (e.g. to prepare a TensorFlow PR), make sure to disable traceback filtering. You can check whether this feature is currently enabled by calling tf.debugging.is_traceback_filtering_enabled().

    Note that this feature is only available with Python 3.7 or higher.

  • Improve the informativeness of error messages raised by Keras Layer.__call__(), by adding the full list of argument values passed to the layer in every exception.

• Introduce the tf.compat.v1.keras.utils.track_tf1_style_variables decorator, which enables using large classes of tf1-style variable_scope, get_variable, and compat.v1.layer-based components from within TF2 models running with TF2 behavior enabled.

• tf.data:

  • tf.data service now supports auto-sharding. Users specify the sharding policy with tf.data.experimental.service.ShardingPolicy enum. It can be one of OFF (equivalent to today's "parallel_epochs" mode), DYNAMIC (equivalent to today's "distributed_epoch" mode), or one of the static sharding policies: FILE, DATA, FILE_OR_DATA, or HINT (corresponding to values of tf.data.experimental.AutoShardPolicy).

    Static sharding (auto-sharding) requires the number of tf.data service workers be fixed. Users need to specify the worker addresses in tensorflow.data.experimental.DispatcherConfig.

  • tf.data.experimental.service.register_dataset now accepts optional compression argument.

• Keras:
