Swift-AI changelog

Changelog History

• v2.0.0 Changes

  April 05, 2017

  Swift AI has been completely rewritten for Swift 3.1!

  ⚡️ This update brings many changes, so I'd like to note a few of the biggest ones here:

  • 👍 Swift 3.1 language support
  • 📦 Swift Package Manager support
  • Significant API improvements and syntactical changes
  • 👌 Support for custom activation functions and cost functions!
  • 👍 Persistent storage now uses plaintext JSON for easy readability and cross-platform support
  • FFNN has been renamed to NeuralNet
  • 🐎 Various performance improvements

  🚚 We've also removed some components from this repository. Namely:

  • Example projects
  • Vector/matrix library
  • Random number generator

  📚 The reason for removing these components is simple: in accordance with its SPM support, Swift AI is intended to be modular and expandable. Importing a neural network should not require you to import an entire collection of documentation and iOS example projects ;)

  📦 This is just Phase 1 of a series of changes that are planned for Swift AI. For the time being, the NeuralNet module will remain here in the top-level repository - but the ultimate goal is to create a GitHub organization account and continue expanding the library with new tools in their own individual packages.

  👍 Thank you for all your support and contributions!

• v1.0.0 Changes

  November 30, 2016

  🚀 v1.0 is the official Swift 2.2 release of Swift AI. This release is pre-Swift Package Manager and includes the example projects bundled in the main repo.

  👍 All future versions will be built for Swift 3 with SPM support.
