- Move symbolic API to NNVM @tqchen
- Most front-end C API are backward compatible
- Removed symbolic API in MXNet and relies on NNVM
- New features:
- MXNet profiler for profiling operator-level executions
- mxnet.image package for fast image loading and processing
- Change of JSON format
- param and attr field are merged to attr
- New code is backward-compatible can load old json format
- OpProperty registration now is deprecated
- New operators are encouraged to register their property to NNVM op registry attribute
- Known features removed limitations to be fixed
- Bulk segment execution not yet added.
This is the last release before the NNVM refactor.
