This release adds two major new features: the DeepSpeed integration has been revamped to match the one in Transformers Trainer, with multiple new options unlocked, and the TPU integration has been sped up.

This version also officially stops supporting Python 3.6 and requires Python 3.7+

DeepSpeed integration revamp

Users can now specify a DeepSpeed config file when they want to use DeepSpeed, which unlocks many new options. More details in the new documentation.

TPU speedup

If you're using TPUs we have sped up the dataloaders and models quite a bit, on top of a few bug fixes.
