Fedot v.0.5.0 has been released!

[nicl-nno]

Hi everyone!

We released a new major version of FEDOT - 0.5.0 It includes several major changes

The new version is available and can be imported via pip: pip install fedot==0.5.0

The most important changes:

• Preprocessing for tabular features and target variables improved dramatically.
• API is refactored and improved (presets, parameters, etc). The postfix "_tun" has been removed from the presets, so now you have to specify composer_params={'with_tuning': True} to set tuning. Important changes in preset names: light - best_quality, ultra_light - fast_train.
• Support for external optimisers is implemented.
• Zero-code console interface is implemented.
• Surrogate decision trees for pipeline interpretation are added.
• Custom model support is implemented.
• Better presets and models for time series forecasting (derivatives, polynomial models, cuts, etc)
• Better integration with FEDOT.Web
• Prototype for remote infrastructure support
• Evolutionary optimiser improved (stopping criterion, progress bar, better mutations, etc)
• Major and minor bugs are fixed.
