release timeline? about probability HOT 6 CLOSED

Marking fixed.

Hey @goldingn. Thanks for asking. We haven't decided on a rough timeline just yet. There are a few factors at play.

One hard restriction is depending on a compatible TF stable version. This can be difficult as the team often pushes code to both locations.

Another restriction is figuring out when we're mostly happy with the API and want to support backwards compatibility. Things are very likely not going to change, but we're not confident we can quite make that promise.

Do you have a particular timeline in which you'd like to release the new greta version? We're very open to taking suggestions!

Great, thanks for letting me know!

I was hoping to release greta 0.3 with all the TFP stuff in mid-June, about 4 weeks from now. No worries if that's too soon for you, I can either push that back or explore other ways of making sure greta users get the right development version of TFP.

Hi Nick! As a slight update, we're going to aim for an initial 0.1 release concurrent with Tensorflow 1.9 (likely in early June, though that's not entirely in our hands), and going forward to release checkpoints compatible with each stable TF release as they come out.

We're not making any guarantees of API stability yet, though we hope there will not be major breaking changes. We expect to be fairly tightly coupled to TF for the near future (i.e., future releases will likely require the most recent stable TF) but we hope that removing the tf-nightly dependence will at least slightly ease the roadblocks to early adopters like yourself.

Oh that sounds great, thanks Dave!
