TensorFlow Probability 0.5.0
Release Notes
This is the 0.5.0 release of TensorFlow Probability. It's tested and stable against TensorFlow 1.12.
Packaging Change
As of this release, we no longer package a separate GPU-specific build. Users can select the version of TensorFlow they wish to use (CPU or GPU), and TensorFlow Probability will work with both.
As a result, we no longer explicitly list a TensorFlow dependency in our package requirements (since we can't know which version the user will want). If TFP is installed with no TensorFlow package present, or with an unsupported TensorFlow version, we will issue an ImportError
at time of import.
