## MindInsight

# Release 0.3.0-alpha

## Major Features and Improvements
* Profiling
    * Provide easy to use apis for profiling start/stop and profiling data analyse (on Ascend only).
    * Provide operators performance display and analysis on MindInsight UI.
* Large scale network computation graph visualization.
* Optimize summary record implementation and improve its performance.
* Improve lineage usability
    * Optimize lineage display and enrich tabular operation.
    * Decouple lineage callback from `SummaryRecord`.
* Support scalar compare of multiple runs.
* Scripts conversion from other frameworks
    * Support for converting PyTorch scripts within TorchVision to MindSpore scripts automatically.
    
## Bugfixes
* Fix pb files loaded problem when files are modified at the same time ([!53](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/53)).
* Fix load data thread stuck in `LineageCacheItemUpdater` ([!114](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/114)).
* Fix samples from previous steps erased due to tags size too large problem ([!86](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/86)).
* Fix image and histogram event package error ([!1143](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/1143)).
* Equally distribute histogram ignoring actual step number to avoid large white space ([!66](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/66)).

# Release 0.2.0-alpha

## Major Features and Improvements
* Parameter distribution graph (Histogram).
Now you can use [`HistogramSummary`](https://www.mindspore.cn/api/zh-CN/master/api/python/mindspore/mindspore.ops.operations.html#mindspore.ops.operations.HistogramSummary) and MindInsight to record and visualize distribution info of tensors. See our [tutorial](https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorial/zh-CN/master/advanced_use/visualization_tutorials.html) for details.
* Lineage support Custom information
* GPU support
* Model and dataset tracking linkage support

## Bugfixes 
* Reduce cyclomatic complexity of `list_summary_directories` ([!11](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/11)).
* Fix unsafe functions and duplication files and redundant codes ([!14](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/14)).
* Fix sha256 checksum missing bug ([!24](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/24)).
* Fix graph bug when node name is empty ([!34](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/34)).
* Fix start/stop command error code incorrect ([!44](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindinsight/pulls/44)).
