This is the second release candidate for Hivemall v0.4.2.

CAUTION: Please use add_bias instead of addBias for adding bias clauses from this release. If you want to use addBias, please issue the deprecated DDLs manually.

We DO NOT recommend to use this version in production yet.

Changes since v0.4.2-rc.1 are summarized as follows:

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a corner case bug in mf_predict [4282b6a] #310
  • Fix a bug in FMArrayModel initialization scheme [564aefe][05c8da0] #302
• Major Changes
  • Fixed feature_hashing UDF behavior for a bias feature '0' [a8fd640]

This is the first release candidate for Hivemall v0.4.2. We skipped v0.4.1 since there are tremendous changes in this release.

We would like to thank all contributors of this release.
