Hi all, Here is an update on MXNet 1.3 release: I am still waiting for following PRs to get merged:
TRT integration: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11325 Gluon RNN: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11482 Scala examples: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11753 https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11621 *New code freeze date is: 08/03* Please try to get your ongoing PRs merged by then. @Pedro, I didn't include your PRs in tracking list as you said those are not critical for now. Please let me know if those needs to be included. https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11636 https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11562 I also have updated project proposal cwiki page to update the status of PRs. <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Project+Proposals+for+next+MXNet+Release> Please let me know if I am missing something.
