 NNI (Neural Network Intelligence) is a toolkit to help users run automated machine learning (AutoML) experiments.
 The tool dispatches and runs trial jobs generated by tuning algorithms to search the best neural architecture and/or hyper-parameters in different environments like local machine, remote servers and cloud.

 # ChangeLog
 
+## Release 0.9 - 7/1/2019
+
+### Major Features
+* General NAS programming interface
+    * Add `enas-mode`  and `oneshot-mode` for NAS interface: [PR #1201](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/pull/1201#issue-291094510)
+* [Gaussian Process Tuner with Matern kernel](./GPTuner.md) 
+
+* Multiphase experiment supports
+    * Added new training service support for multiphase experiment: PAI mode supports multiphase experiment since v0.9.
+    * Added multiphase capability for the following builtin tuners: 
+        * TPE, Random Search, Anneal, Naïve Evolution, SMAC, Network Morphism, Metis Tuner.
+
+    For details, please refer to [Write a tuner that leverages multi-phase](./MultiPhase.md#write-a-tuner-that-leverages-multi-phase)
+
+* Web Portal
+    * Enable trial comparation in Web Portal. For details, refer to [View trials status](WebUI.md#view-trials-status)
+    * Allow users to adjust rendering interval of Web Portal. For details, refer to [View Summary Page](WebUI.md#view-summary-page)
+    * show intermediate results more friendly. For details, refer to [View trials status](WebUI.md#view-trials-status)
+* [Commandline Interface](Nnictl.md)
+    * `nnictl experiment delete`: delete one or all experiments, it includes log, result, environment information and cache. It uses to delete useless experiment result, or save disk space.
+    * `nnictl platform clean`: It uses to clean up disk on a target platform. The provided YAML file includes the information of target platform, and it follows the same schema as the NNI configuration file.
+### Bug fix and other changes
+* Tuner Installation Improvements: add [sklearn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/) to nni dependencies.
+* (Bug Fix) Failed to connect to PAI http code - [Issue #1076](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/issues/1076)
+* (Bug Fix) Validate file name for PAI platform - [Issue #1164](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/issues/1164)
+* (Bug Fix) Update GMM evaluation in Metis Tuner
+* (Bug Fix) Negative time number rendering in Web Portal - [Issue #1182](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/issues/1182), [Issue #1185](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/issues/1185)
+* (Bug Fix) Hyper-parameter not shown correctly in WebUI when there is only one hyper parameter - [Issue #1192](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/issues/1192)
