v0.8.1

Breaking changes

• We now prompt the user before installing torch additional dependencies in interactive environments. This was requested by CRAN maintainers. (#864)

New features

• Dataloaders can now handle logical values. (#858, @ryan-heslin)
• We now provide builds for Pre CXX11 ABI version of LibTorch. They can be used by setting the environment variable PRECXX11ABI=1. This can be useful in environments with older versions of GLIBC. (#870)

Bug fixes

• Fixed the way errors are passed from dataloaders workers to the main process. Now using new rlang error chaining. (#864)

Internal

• We can now call GC even if from a backward call (ie, from a different thread) which allows for better memory management. (#853)
• Fix HTML5 Manual information as resquested by CRAN (#869)
