## NEXT - TBD
### Fixed


### Added


## [0.4.0] - 2021-07-31
### Fixed
- FSDP: fixed final backward callback in certain activation checkpointed cases. Before this fix,
        if a model is activation checkpointed in a certain way, the final backward
        callback can fire incorrectly. That's due to autograd and reentrant backward
        graphs. With this fix, the final callback is always registered on the outer
        most root FSDP instance (i.e. the outer most backward graph), which result
        in reliably firing. This makes FSDP much more robust with respect to different
        models and activation checkpoints. [#753]

### Added
- FSDP: support gradient accumulation without the `no_sync` context. This is useful
        in training with smaller number of GPU with same overall batch size as large
        number of GPUs. Compared with the `no_sync` context, this mode consumes less
        GPU memory but uses more networking bandwidth. [#752]


## [0.3.9] - 2021-07-26
### Fixed
- FSDP: fixed metadata saving and shard consolidation for MoE cases. When a model has
        shared parameters or mixture of expert layers, the handling of state dict
        metadata was broken. This release fixes that. [#746]
- OSS: fixed the buckets which would stay in fp16 if `broadcast fp16` was required [#751]

### Added
- FSDP: better performance; use `_allgather_base` and `_reduce_scatter_base` when they are
        available from pytorch nightly version (will be in 1.10 releases) [#729]
- FSDP: prepared FSDP internals for supporting multiple groups of flatten parameters (to support more general optimization) [#746]

## [0.3.8] - 2021-07-12
### Fixed
- checkpointing: Use dummy tensor to ensure backward pass is called. [#701]
- checkpointing: Ensure internal fwd counter is not incremented in eval mode. [#709]
- checkpointing: Use non-blocking CPU transfer to improve perf. [#719]
- FSDP: Fixed bug where buffers returned in `state_dict()` could still be half precision when `mixed_precision` is set to `True`. [#705]
- FSDP: Ensure requires_grad of FlatParameter is consistent with requires_grad of the original parameters. [#721]
- doc: Thoroughly improved the doc for FSDP. [#711]
- cleanup: Remove examples/ doc from the repo. [#712]
- cleanup: Future proof storage size test. [#735]
- cleanup: Migrate away from legacy torchtext iterators. [#713]
- chore: Updated torch 1.9 to release version. [#717]

### Added
- FSDP: supporting multiple flatten parameter groups [#708] [#711]
- chore: Add the latest numpy version to requirements-test.txt to prevent mypy errors on certain PR commits [#732]

- FSDP: fix `local_state_dict` potentially called child class's `state_dict` [#574]
