I was using fast.ai 1.0.45 locally and to deploy a webservice on Azure, but a few days ago, that version disappeared. This caused the new deployment I was trying to make to fail.
Is there a github page I should follow that announces in advance when versions get deleted?
This kind of disappearance tends to have a negative impact, especially when one needs to retrain a model all over again, with another version, to allow for the deployment to work.
Looking at git it doesn’t appear that they normally delete versions. Perhaps it was a mix-up. You can always check out the 1.0.45.dev0 branch yourself and create your own local branch. There appears to be only one commit after sgugger created 1.0.45.dev0 so you either can check out the commit without those changes or check out the one with those changes and see if it works for you.
sorry about that, I deleted 1.0.45, thinking that it wasn’t released, but it was 1.0.44 that was skipped, but it’s exactly the same version and pypi doesn’t allow re-uploading files Will try to be more careful in the future.
Thank you, Steven and Stas, for your helpful and clarifying replies.
For now, I am using 1.0.44 because 1.0.46 has changes that no longer work for me (ImageItemList --> ItemList and loading data with less than 64 images now breaks on Windows, even when I use a batch size = dataset size).
Stas, I appreciate you pointing me to the test channel, and implementing a safer procedure for new version releases.
Hello Hao,
I indeed tried ImageList, but because my dataset was smaller than the default batch size of 64, it failed. It even failed when I forced the batch size to be = the size of my dataset.
Will try to be more careful in the future.
