SMQTK v0.11.0 Release Notes

This minor release includes a number of security and stability fixes for
algorithms and the IQR demo web application.

Updates / New Features since v0.10.0

Documentation

Updated IQR Demo Application documentation RST file and images to
reflect the current state of SMQTK and that process.

Algorithms

Classifiers
- SVM
  - Fixed broken large model saving in Python 2, creating
    parity with Python 3.
Nearest-Neighbors
- FAISS
  - Fixed use of strings for compatibility with Python 2.
  - Fixed broken large model saving in Python 2, creating
    parity with Python 3.
- FLANN
  - Fixed broken large model saving in Python 2, creating
    parity with Python 3.
- Hash Index
  - Scikit-Learn BallTree
    - Fix save_model and load_model methods for additional
      compatibility with scikit-learn version 0.20.0.
- LSH
  - Fix issue with update and remove methods when constructed with
    a key-value store structure that use the frozenset type.
  - Fix issue with on-the-fly linear hash index build which was
    previously not correctly setting a set of integers.

Descriptor Generator Plugins

Fix issue with CaffeDescriptorGenerator where the GPU would not be
appropriately used on a separate thread/process after initialization occurs on
the main (or some other) thread.

Docker

IQR Playground
- Updated README for better instruction on creating the docker image
  first.
Caffe image
- Resolved an issue with upgrading pip for a newer version of matplotlib.

Documentation

Removed module mocking in sphinx conf.py as it has been shown to be
brittle to changes in the source code. If we isolate and document a
use-case where the mocking becomes relevant again we can bring it back.

Misc.

Update requests and flask package version in requirements.txt and
devops/docker/smqtk_wrapper_python/requirements.txt files due to
GitHub security alert.
Updated package versions for packages in the requirements.docs.txt
requirements file.

Utilities

Fixed broken large file writing in Python 2, creating parity
with Python 3.
Fixed iqr_app_model_generation.py script for the current state of
SMQTK functionality.
Fixed double logging issue in python/smqtk/bin/classifyFiles.py
tool.
