Changed

• Changed how pretrained flag works for loading weights for ImageClassifier task (#560)
• Removed bolts pretrained weights for SSL from ImageClassifier task (#560)
• Changed the behaviour of the sampler argument of the DataModule to take a Sampler type rather than instantiated object (#651)
• Changed arguments to ObjectDetector, use head instead of model and append _fpn to the backbone name instead of the fpn argument (#608)

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where serve sanity checking would not be triggered using the latest PyTorchLightning version (#493)
• Fixed a bug where train and validation metrics weren't being correctly computed (#559)
• Fixed a bug where an uncaught ValueError could be raised when checking if a module is available (#615)

• Fixed a bug where custom samplers would not be properly forwarded to the data loader (#651)
• Fixed a bug where it was not possible to pass no metrics to the ImageClassifier or TestClassifier (#660)
• Fixed a bug where drop_last would be set to True during prediction and testing (#671)
• Fixed a bug where flash was not compatible with pytorch-lightning >= 1.4.3 (#690)
