Hey folks!
Just a quick announcement that after a long awaited release, we have merged in the latest tensorflow 2 changes into greta! This contained a pretty massive series of changes in order to upgrade from the graph-based tensorflow 1 to the eager-mode in tensorflow 2. Massive thanks to Nick Golding for making the fundamental changes that made it all work - would not have been possible without him!
What does this mean for you as the user?
It means you should install greta with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("greta-dev/greta")
Rather than installing from a specific branch.
I’m still working away at a couple of small changes, and also on a longer blog post that describes the changes available in this release.
Thanks for everyone’s support!
Cheers,
Nick Tierney
