New release plans?

[plurch]

Hello, thanks for the great package that is widely used 👍

I am curious to know if there are any plans for a new release/version number for faiss?

v1.7.4 was released on Apr 20, 2023 which is almost a year old by now. There have been many improvements merged in
the main branch since then (including MKL installation fix).

It would be nice to have an up to date version number available for installation via conda, rather than having to install via nightly which could introduce issues for production systems.

I second this! Would like to have a release with the already merged indexidmap pre-search filtering.

The new version of faiss is coming out very soon!

[Charlyo]

Can you give us an ETA?

[mlomeli1]

@Charlyo we expect to do the release in two weeks time.
