-0.1 There's one test failure I've run into (details below). Following Indhu's logic I don't think this should block the release as it's not relating to a release feature introduced in this version.
I'm trying to use the cpp-package examples as reference code for how to run MXNet models from a native context. I'd like to run them with ASAN as a sanity check for memory leaks and pointer errors. I was continually running into segfaults and crashes w/ and w/o ASAN. A little googling shows me that this issue has already been reported, and is related to running tests on CPU, not to any changes I made: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/9814 Having what our effectively our reference examples crash is not a good practice IMO. I also share some concerns around the fp16 failures. I know developers who are currently porting their models to Gluon who use fp16. They'll be disappointed with the error. In general though, release looks good. Big thanks to Sheng and Roshani for putting it together (and sorry for the late testing). -Kellen On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 4:31 AM Anirudh <anirudh2...@gmail.com> wrote: > -1 Considering that using fp16 with gluon is much easier than the > alternative where you need access to the model code, this fix is really > useful.
