Version 0.24.0

Major Features and Improvements

• Added native TF 2 implementation of Transform's Beam APIs - tft.AnalyzeDataset, tft.AnalyzeDatasetWithCache, tft.AnalyzeAndTransformDataset and tft.TransformDataset. The default behavior will continue to use Tensorflow's compat.v1 APIs. This can be overriden by setting tft.Context.force_tf_compat_v1=False. The default behavior for TF 2 users will be switched to the new native implementation in a future release.

Deprecations

• Deprecating Py3.5 support.
