# v0.11.0版本
## PaddlePaddle Fluid
- PaddlePaddle发布版本v0.11.0包含一个新的特性*PaddlePaddle Fluid*. Fluid 是设计用来让用户像Pytorch和Tensorflow Eager Execution一样执行程序。在这些系统中，不再有*模型*这个概念，应用也不再包含一个用于描述Operator图或者一系列层的符号描述，而是像通用程序那样描述训练或者预测的过程。而Fluid与PyTorch或Eager Execution的区别在于Fluid不依赖Python提供的控制流，例如 if-else-then或者for，而是提供了基于C++实现的控制流并暴露了对应的用with语法实现的Python接口。例如：
https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/3df78ed2a98d37f7ae6725894cc7514effd5664b/python/paddle/v2/fluid/tests/test_while_op.py#L36-L44
- 在v0.11.0版本中，我们提供了一个C++类`Executor`用于运行一个Fluid程序。Executor类似一个解释器。在未来的版本中，我们将提升和优化Executor成为一个调试器，就像GDB。并可能提供一些编译器，这个编译器会读取一个上文所描述的应用然后编译成一个等价的
源代码，这个源代码可以被nvcc编译成可以使用CUDA的二进制，或者被icc编译成可以充分利用Intel CPU的二进制。
## 新特点
* 发布 `PaddlePaddle Fluid`。

* 发布了新特性 [Elastic Deep Learning (EDL)](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/cloud/tree/develop/doc/autoscale/experiment).
* 基于Bazel API利用cmake实现了一个的新的构建系统函数库。
* 当使用编译选项`WITH_MKL=ON`时自动下载和编译Intel® [MKLML](https://github.com/01org/mkl-dnn/releases/download/v0.11/mklml_lnx_2018.0.1.20171007.tgz) 函数库.
* [Intel® MKL-DNN on PaddlePaddle](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/doc/design/mkldnn):
- 完成了 11个 MKL-DNN 层: Convolution, Fully connectivity, Pooling, ReLU, Tanh, ELU, Softmax, BatchNorm, AddTo, Concat, LRN。
- 完成了 3个 MKL-DNN 网络: VGG-19, ResNet-50, GoogleNet
- 基于Intel Skylake 6148 CPU的[性能测试](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/benchmark/IntelOptimizedPaddle.md) : 相对于MKLML有2~3倍的训练加速。
* 增加 [softsign activation](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/zh/api/v2/config/activation.html#softsign)
* 增加 [dot product layer](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/zh/api/v2/config/layer.html#dot-prod)

* 增加移动端友好的网页
## 改进

# v0.10.0版本
我们非常高兴发布了PaddlePaddle V0.10.0版，并开发了新的[Python API](http://research.baidu.com/paddlepaddles-new-api-simplifies-deep-learning-programs/)。
- 旧的Python API由于难以学习和使用已经过时了。使用旧版本的API至少需要两份python文件，分别是定义数据生成器和定义网络拓扑结构的文件。用户通过运行`paddle_trainer`的C++程序来启动PaddlePaddle任务，该程序调用Python解释器来运行定义网络拓扑结构的文件，然后通过迭代加载数据生成器提供的小批量数据启动训练循环。这与Python的现代编辑方式不符，比如Jupyter Notebook。
- 新版的API被称为 *V2 API*，允许我们在单个.py文件中，通过编辑更短的Python程序来定义网络结构和数据。此外，该Python程序也可以在Jupyter Notebook中运行，因为PaddlePaddle可以作为共享库来被Python程序加载和使用。
基于新的API，我们提供了一个在线的学习文档 [Deep Learning 101](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/index.en.html) 及其[中文版本](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/)。
我们还致力于迭代更新新版API的在线文档，并将新版API引入分布式集群（包括MPI和Kubernetes）训练中。我们将在下一个版本中发布更多的内容。
## 新特点
* 发布新版[Python API](http://research.baidu.com/paddlepaddles-new-api-simplifies-deep-learning-programs/)。
* 发布深度学习系列课程 [Deep Learning 101](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/index.en.html) 及其[中文版本](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/)。
* 支持矩形输入的CNN。
* 为seqlastin和seqfirstin提供stride pooling。
* 在`trainer_config_helpers`中暴露`seq_concat_layer/seq_reshape_layer`。
* 添加公共数据集包：CIFAR，MNIST，IMDB，WMT14，CONLL05，movielens，imikolov。
* 针对Single Shot Multibox Detection增加 Prior box layer。
* 增加光滑的L1损失。
* 在V2 API中增加 data reader 创建器和修饰器。
* 增加cmrnorm投影的CPU实现。
## 改进

* 在v2 API中增加数据feeder。
* 在情感分析示例的演示中增加对标准输入流中样本的预测。
* 提供图像预处理的多进程接口。
* 增加V1 API的基准文档。
* 在`layer_math.py`中增加ReLU。
* 提供公共数据集的自动下载包。
* 将`Argument::sumCost`重新命名为`Argument::sum`，并暴露给python。

# Release v0.11.0
# Release Note
## PaddlePaddle Fluid
- Release 0.11.0 includes a new feature *PaddlePaddle Fluid*. Fluid is
designed to allow users to program like PyTorch and TensorFlow Eager Execution.
In these systems, there is no longer the concept *model* and applications
do not include a symbolic description of a graph of operators nor a sequence
of layers. Instead, applications look exactly like a usual program that
describes a process of training or inference. The difference between
Fluid and PyTorch or Eager Execution is that Fluid doesn't rely on Python's
control-flow, `if-then-else` nor `for`. Instead, Fluid provides its
C++ implementations and their Python binding using the `with` statement. For an example
https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/3df78ed2a98d37f7ae6725894cc7514effd5664b/python/paddle/v2/fluid/tests/test_while_op.py#L36-L44
- In 0.11.0, we provides a C++ class `Executor` to run a Fluid program.
Executor works like an interpreter. In future version, we will improve
`Executor` into a debugger like GDB, and we might provide some compilers,
which, for example, takes an application like the above one, and outputs
an equivalent C++ source program, which can be compiled using
[`nvcc`](http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-compiler-driver-nvcc/index.html)
to generate binaries that use CUDA, or using
[`icc`](https://software.intel.com/en-us/c-compilers) to generate binaries
that make full use of Intel CPUs.
## New Features
* Release `PaddlePaddle Fluid`.
* Add C-API for model inference
* Use fluid API to create a simple GAN demo.
* Add develop guide about performance tunning.
* Add retry when download `paddle.v2.dataset`.
* Linking protobuf-lite not protobuf in C++. Reduce the binary size.
* Feature [Elastic Deep Learning (EDL)](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/cloud/tree/develop/doc/autoscale/experiment) released.
* A new style cmake functions for Paddle. It is based on Bazel API.
* Automatically download and compile with Intel® [MKLML](https://github.com/01org/mkl-dnn/releases/download/v0.11/mklml_lnx_2018.0.1.20171007.tgz) library as CBLAS when build `WITH_MKL=ON`.
* [Intel® MKL-DNN on PaddlePaddle](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/doc/design/mkldnn):
- Complete 11 MKL-DNN layers: Convolution, Fully connectivity, Pooling, ReLU, Tanh, ELU, Softmax, BatchNorm, AddTo, Concat, LRN.
- Complete 3 MKL-DNN networks: VGG-19, ResNet-50, GoogleNet
- [Benchmark](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/benchmark/IntelOptimizedPaddle.md) on Intel Skylake 6148 CPU: 2~3x training speedup compared with MKLML.
* Add the [`softsign` activation](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/zh/api/v2/config/activation.html#softsign).
* Add the [dot product layer](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/zh/api/v2/config/layer.html#dot-prod).

# Release v0.10.0
We are glad to release version 0.10.0. In this version, we are happy to release the new
[Python API](http://research.baidu.com/paddlepaddles-new-api-simplifies-deep-learning-programs/).
- Our old Python API is kind of out of date. It's hard to learn and hard to
use. To write a PaddlePaddle program using the old API, we'd have to write
at least two Python files: one `data provider` and another one that defines
the network topology. Users start a PaddlePaddle job by running the
`paddle_trainer` C++ program, which calls Python interpreter to run the
network topology configuration script and then start the training loop,
which iteratively calls the data provider function to load minibatches.
This prevents us from writing a Python program in a modern way, e.g., in the
Jupyter Notebook.
- The new API, which we often refer to as the *v2 API*, allows us to write
much shorter Python programs to define the network and the data in a single
.py file. Also, this program can run in Jupyter Notebook, since the entry
point is in Python program and PaddlePaddle runs as a shared library loaded
and invoked by this Python program.
Basing on the new API, we delivered an online interative
book, [Deep Learning 101](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/index.en.html)
and [its Chinese version](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/).
We also worked on updating our online documentation to describe the new API.
But this is an ongoing work. We will release more documentation improvements
in the next version.
We also worked on bring the new API to distributed model training (via MPI and
Kubernetes). This work is ongoing. We will release more about it in the next
version.
## New Features
* We release [new Python API](http://research.baidu.com/paddlepaddles-new-api-simplifies-deep-learning-programs/).
* Deep Learning 101 book in [English](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/index.en.html) and [Chinese](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/).
* Support rectangle input for CNN.
* Support stride pooling for seqlastin and seqfirstin.
* Expose `seq_concat_layer/seq_reshape_layer` in `trainer_config_helpers`.
* Add dataset package: CIFAR, MNIST, IMDB, WMT14, CONLL05, movielens, imikolov.
* Add Priorbox layer for Single Shot Multibox Detection.
* Add smooth L1 cost.
* Add data reader creator and data reader decorator for v2 API.
* Add the CPU implementation of cmrnorm projection.
## Improvements
