@timoffex

What's Changed

Fixed

wandb.Image() was broken in 0.20.0 when given NumPy arrays with values in the range [0, 1], now fixed (@timoffex in #9982)

@domphan-wandb

What's Changed

wandb.Table: Added new constructor param, log_mode, with options "IMMUTABLE" and "MUTABLE". IMMUTABLE log mode (default) is existing behavior that only allows a table to be logged once. MUTABLE log mode allows the table to be logged again if it has been mutated. (@domphan-wandb in #9758)
wandb.Table: Added a new log_mode, "INCREMENTAL", which logs newly added table data incrementally. (@domphan-wandb in #9810)

Notable Changes

This version removes the ability to disable the service process. This is a breaking change.

Added

Added merge parameter to Artifact.add_dir to allow overwrite of previously-added artifact files (@pingleiwandb in #9907)
Support for pytorch.tensor for masks and boxes parameters when creating a wandb.Image object. (@jacobromero in #9802)
sync_tensorboard now supports syncing tfevents files stored in S3, GCS and Azure (@timoffex in #9849)
- GCS paths use the format gs://bucket/path/to/log/dir and rely on application-default credentials, which can be configured using gcloud auth application-default login
- S3 paths use the format s3://bucket/path/to/log/dir and rely on the default credentials set through aws configure
- Azure paths use the format az://account/container/path/to/log/dir and the az login credentials, but also require the AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT and AZURE_STORAGE_KEY environment variables to be set. Some other environment variables are supported as well, see here.
Added support for initializing some Media objects with pathlib.Path (@jacobromero in #9692)
New setting x_skip_transaction_log that allows to skip the transaction log. Note: Should be used with caution, as it removes the gurantees about recoverability. (@kptkin in #9064)
normalize parameter to wandb.Image initialization to normalize pixel values for Images initialized with a numpy array or pytorch tensor. (@jacobromero in #9883)

Changed

Various APIs now raise TypeError instead of ValueError or other generic errors when given an argument of the wrong type. (@timoffex in #9902)
Various Artifacts and Automations APIs now raise CommError instead of ValueError upon encountering server errors, so as to surface the server error message. (@ibindlish in #9933)
wandb.sdk.wandb_run.Run::save method now requires the glob_str argument (@dmitryduev in #9962)

Removed

Removed support for disabling the service process. The x_disable_service/_disable_service setting and the WANDB_DISABLE_SERVICE/WANDB_X_DISABLE_SERVICE environment variable have been deprecated and will now raise an error if used (@kptkin in #9829)
Removed ability to use wandb.docker after only importing wandb (@timoffex in #9941)
- wandb.docker is not part of wandb's public interface and is subject to breaking changes. Please do not use it.
Removed no-op sync argument from wandb.Run::log function (@kptkin in #9940)
Removed deprecated wandb.sdk.wandb_run.Run.mode property (@dmitryduev in #9958)
Removed deprecated wandb.sdk.wandb_run.Run::join method (@dmitryduev in #9960)

Deprecated

The start_method setting is deprecated and has no effect; it is safely ignored (@kptkin in #9837)
The property Artifact.use_as and parameter use_as for run.use_artifact() are deprecated since these have not been in use for W&B Launch (@ibindlish in #9760)

Fixed

Calling wandb.teardown() in a child of a process that called wandb.setup() no longer raises WandbServiceNotOwnedError (@timoffex in #9875)
- This error could have manifested when using W&B Sweeps
Offline runs with requested branching (fork or rewind) sync correctly (@dmitryduev in #9876)
Log exception as string when raising exception in Job wait_until_running method (@KyleGoyette in #9607)
wandb.Image initialized with tensorflow data would be normalized differently than when initialized with a numpy array (@jacobromero in #9883)
Using wandb login no longer prints a warning about wandb.require("legacy-service") (@timoffex in #9912)
Logging a Table (or other objects that create internal artifacts) no longer raises ValueError when logged from a run whose ID contains special characters. (@tonyyli-wandb in #9943)
wandb.Api initialized with the base_url now respects the provided url, rather than the last login url (@jacobromero in #9942)

@estellazx

What's Changed

Added

Added creation, deletion, and updating of registries in the SDK. (@estellazx in #9453)
artifact.is_link property to artifacts to determine if an artifact is a link artifact (such as in the Registry) or source artifact. (@estellazx in #9764)
artifact.linked_artifacts to fetch all the linked artifacts to a source artifact and artifact.source_artifact to fetch the source artifact of a linked artifact. (@estellazx in #9789)
run.link_artifact(), artifact.link(), and run.link_model() all return the linked artifact upon linking (@estellazx in #9763)
Multipart download for artifact file larger than 2GB, user can control it directly using artifact.download(multipart=True). (@pingleiwandb in #9738)
Project.id property to get the project ID on a wandb.public.Project (@tonyyli-wandb in #9194).
New public API for W&B Automations (@tonyyli-wandb in #9693, #8935, #9194, #9197, #8896, #9246)
- New submodules and classes in wandb.automations.* to support programmatically managing W&B Automations.
- Api.integrations(), Api.slack_integrations(), Api.webhook_integrations() to fetch a team's existing Slack or webhook integrations.
- Api.create_automation(), Api.automation()/Api.automations(), Api.update_automation(), Api.delete_automation() to create, fetch, edit, and delete Automations.
Create and edit automations triggered on RUN_METRIC_CHANGE events, i.e. on changes in run metric values (absolute or relative deltas). (@tonyyli-wandb in #9775)
Ability to collect profiling metrics for Nvidia GPUs using DCGM. To enable, set the WANDB_ENABLE_DCGM_PROFILING environment variable to true. Requires the nvidia-dcgm service to be running on the machine. Enabling this feature can lead to increased resource usage. (@dmitryduev in #9780)

Fixed

run.log_code correctly sets the run configs code_path value. (@jacobromero in #9753)
Correctly use WANDB_CONFIG_DIR for determining system settings file path (@jacobromero in #9711)
Prevent invalid Artifact and ArtifactCollection names (which would make them unloggable), explicitly raising a ValueError when attempting to assign an invalid name. (@tonyyli-wandb in #8773)
Prevent pydantic ConfigError in Pydantic v1 environments from not calling .model_rebuild()/.update_forward_refs() on generated types with ForwardRef fields (@tonyyli-wandb in #9795)
wandb.init() no longer raises Permission denied error when the wandb directory is not writable or readable (@jacobromero in #9751)
Calling file.delete() on files queried via api.Runs(...) no longer raises CommError (@jacobromero in #9748)
- Bug introduced in 0.19.1

@timoffex

What's Changed

Added

The new reinit="create_new" setting causes wandb.init() to create a new run even if other runs are active, without finishing the other runs (in contrast to reinit="finish_previous"). This will eventually become the default (@timoffex in #9562)
Added Artifact.history_step to return the nearest run step at which history metrics were logged for the artifact's source run (@ibindlish in #9732)
Added data_is_not_path flag to skip file checks when initializing wandb.Html with a sting that points to a file.

Changed

Artifact.download() no longer raises an error when using WANDB_MODE=offline or when an offline run exists (@timoffex in #9695)

Removed

Dropped the -q / --quiet argument to the wandb magic in IPython / Jupyter; use the quiet run setting instead (@timoffex in #9705)

Deprecated

The following wandb.Run methods are deprecated in favor of properties and will be removed in a future release (@kptkin in #8925):
- run.project_name() is deprecated in favor of run.project
- run.get_url() method is deprecated in favor of run.url
- run.get_project_url() method is deprecated in favor of run.project_url
- run.get_sweep_url() method is deprecated in favor of run.sweep_url

Fixed

Fixed ValueError on Windows when running a W&B script from a different drive (@jacobromero in #9678)
Fix base_url setting was not provided to wandb.login (@jacobromero in #9703)
wandb.Html() no longer raises IsADirectoryError with a value that matched a directory on the users system. (@jacobromero in #9728)

@timoffex

What's Changed

Added

The reinit setting can be set to "default" (@timoffex in #9569)
Added support for building artifact file download urls using the new url scheme, with artifact collection membership context (@ibindlish in #9560)

Changed

Boolean values for the reinit setting are deprecated; use "return_previous" and "finish_previous" instead (@timoffex in #9557)
The "wandb" logger is configured with propagate=False at import time, whereas it previously happened when starting a run. This may change the messages observed by the root logger in some workflows (@timoffex in #9540)
Metaflow now requires plum-dispatch package. (@jacobromero in #9599)
Relaxed the pydantic version requirement to support both v1 and v2 (@dmitryduev in #9605)
Existing pydantic types have been adapted to be compatible with Pydantic v1 (@tonyyli-wandb in #9623)
wandb.init(dir=...) now creates any nonexistent directories in dir if it has a parent directory that is writeable (@ringohoffman in #9545)
The server now supports fetching artifact files by providing additional collection information; updated the artifacts api to use the new endpoints instead (@ibindlish in #9551)
Paginated methods (and underlying paginators) that accept a per_page argument now only accept int values. Default per_page values are set directly in method signatures, and explicitly passing None is no longer supported (@tonyyli-wandb in #9201)

Fixed

Calling wandb.init() in a notebook finishes previous runs as previously documented (@timoffex in #9569)
- Bug introduced in 0.19.0
Fixed an error being thrown when logging jpg/jpeg images containing transparency data (@jacobromero in #9527)
wandb.init(resume_from=...) now works without explicitly specifying the run's id (@kptkin in #9572)
Deleting files with the Public API works again (@jacobromero in #9604)
- Bug introduced in 0.19.1
Fixed media files not displaying in the UI when logging to a run with a custom storage bucket (@jacobromero in #9661)

@jacobromero

What's Changed

Fixed

Media file paths containing special characters (?, *, ], [ or \) no longer cause file uploads to fail in wandb-core (@jacobromero in https://github.com//pull/9475)

Changed

The system monitor now samples metrics every 15 seconds by default, up from 10 seconds (@kptkin in #9554)

wandb.init() displays more detailed information, in particular when it is stuck retrying HTTP errors (@timoffex in #9431)

Removed

Removed the private x_show_operation_stats setting (@timoffex in #9427)

Fixed

Fixed incorrect logging of an "wandb.Video requires moviepy [...]" exception when using moviepy v2. (@Daraan in #9375)
wandb.setup() correctly starts up the internal service process; this semantic was unintentionally broken in 0.19.2 (@timoffex in #9436)
Fixed TypeError: Object of type ... is not JSON serializable when using numpy number types as values. (@jacobromero in #9487)

@dmitryduev

What's Changed

Added

Prometheus API support for Nvidia DCGM GPU metrics collection (@dmitryduev in #9369)

Changed

Changed Nvidia GPU ECC counters from aggregated to volatile (@gritukan in #9347)

Fixed

Fixed a performance issue causing slow instantiation of wandb.Artifact, which in turn slowed down fetching artifacts in various API methods. (@tonyyli-wandb in #9355)
Some errors from wandb.Api have better string representations (@timoffex in #9361)
Artifact.add_reference, when used with file URIs for a directory and the name parameter, was incorrectly adding the value of name to the path of the file references (@ssisk in #9378)
Fixed a bug causing Artifact.add_reference() with checksum=False to log new versions of local reference artifacts without changes to the reference URI. (@tonyyli-wandb in #9326)

@jacobromero

What's Changed

Added

Added wandb login --base-url {host_url} to login as an alias of wandb login --host {host_url}. (@jacobromero in #9323)

Changed

Temporarily disabled collecting per-core CPU utilization stats (@dmitryduev in #9350)

Fixed

Fixed a bug causing offline mode to make network requests when logging media artifacts. If you are using an older version of W&B Server that does not support offline artifact uploads, use the setting allow_offline_artifacts=False to revert to older compatible behavior. (@domphan-wandb in #9267)
Expand sanitization rules for logged table artifact name to allow for hyphens and dots. This update brings the rules up-to-date with the current rules for artifact names. (Allowing letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and dots) (@nicholaspun-wandb in #9271)
Correctly handle run rewind settings fork_from and resume_from. (@dmitryduev in #9331)

@dmitryduev
