v0.6.2

Version 0.6.2

v0.6.2 is a security and bug fix release.

As always, only load previously trained models using the same version of AutoGluon that they were originally trained on.
Loading models trained in different versions of AutoGluon is not supported.

See the full commit change-log here: v0.6.1...v0.6.2

Special thanks to @daikikatsuragawa and @yzhliu who were first time contributors to AutoGluon this release!

This version supports Python versions 3.7 to 3.9. 0.6.x are the last releases that will support Python 3.7.
