Features

  • Added multi-objective optimization via Mean-Aggregation or Par-EGO (#817, #818). Both approaches normalize
    the costs objective-wise based on all data in the history.

Major Changes

  • Results are instantly saved by default now. That means, runhistory.json is saved every time
    a trial is added.
  • Determinstic behaviour (defined in scenario) is default now. Calling a function/TAE with the same
    seed and configuration is expected to be the same.
  • Limit resources behaviour is by default false now. This is particually important because pynisher
    does not work on all machines (e.g. Colab, Mac, Windows, ...) properly.
  • Renamed scenario object save_results_instantly to save_instantly.
  • Added multi_objectives as scenario argument.
  • Expanded cost_for_crash for multi-objective support.

Examples

  • Integrated spear_qcp example for commandline.
  • Python examples are now executed so that the output in the documentation is shown.
  • Added multi-objective example.

Documentation

  • Added runhistory page.

Workflow Clean-up

  • Adds PEP 561 compliance (exports types so other packages can be aware of them).
  • Allow manual workflow_dispatch on actions that might require it (can manually trigger them from github UI).
  • Prevent the double trigger of actions by making push and pull_request and more strict.
  • A push to a pull request should no longer cause double the amount of tests to run (along with the other workflows that had on: [push, pull_request].
  • Some general cleanup, giving names to some actions, adding some linebreaks to break up things, ...
  • Command-line examples are tested again.
  • pytest.yaml:
    • Now scheduled to auto run everyday instead of every week.
    • Clean up the body of the steps and move some things to env var.
    • Scaffold for matrix that includes windows and mac testing (currently excluded, see comments).
    • Includes tests for Python 3.10.
    • Changed the boolean flags in the matrix to just be a categorical, easier to read.

Minor Changes

  • Specified that dask should not cache functions/results (#803) .
  • Handles invalid configuration vectors gracefully (#776).
  • Specified scenario docs that also SMAC options can be used.
  • Docs display init methods now.
  • Parameters in the docs are shown first now.
  • Successive Halving only warns you once if one worker is used only.
  • Statistics are better readable now.
  • Sobol sequence does not print warnings anymore.
