Full Changelog: v0.7.5...v0.8.0

Support for pip==23.2

• add support for pip==23.2 (#139)

Patch more 3rd-party packages

A lot of Nvidia packages as well as fsspec made it onto the PyTorch indices. light-the-torch now handles them correctly (#137)

Support for pip==23.1

• add support for pip==23.1 (#131)

fix local installations

• fix local installations and add CI job (#124)

Support pip==23.0

• Add support for pip==23.0 (#122)

Support for CUDA 12

• Add support for CUDA 12 @jamesobutler (#110)
• Fix minimum required driver versions for CUDA 11 (#111)
• Mitigate risk of supply chain attacks (#115, #118)
• Drop support for PyTorch LTS (#116)

Support for CUDA 11.7 and 11.8

• Add support for CUDA 11.7 and 11.8 by @lassoan (#108)
• Add support for pip==22.3.1 (#105)

Support for pip==22.3

This release is needed since pip==22.3 breaks previous light-the-torch versions. Compatibility was fixed in #99.

Apart from that, this release brings a few other quality-of-life improvements:

• use PyPI as fallback if stable binaries are not on PyTorch indices (#93)
• improve CLI help messages (#94)
• add option to specify computation backend through environment variable (#102)

v0.5.0rc0

• use PyPI as fallback if stable binaries are not on PyTorch indices (#93)
• improve CLI help messages (#94)
• Update to pip==22.3 by (#99)
• add option to specify computation backend through environment variable by (#102)

If you want to install this version of light-the-torch, use pip install --pre light-the-torch
