Notes

Since PyTorch 1.10.0 has been released and we have provided the mmcv-full pre-compiled packages for it, we no longer provide them compiled with PyTorch 1.3 & 1.4 since v1.3.17. You can find previous versions compiled with PyTorch 1.3 & 1.4 here. The compatibility is still ensured in our CI, but we will discard the support of PyTorch 1.3 & 1.4 next year.
