include Atari environments v4 in the change log
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
gym 0.9.1 upgrades the Atari environments to v4 by:

- upgrading atari-py to the latest ALE, including ROM fixes
  openai/atari-py#15
- upgrading gym to the latest atari-py and declaring Atari v4
  #584
- exposing snapshot/restore of Atari environments through gym
  #575

Switching to v4 is encouraged for correctness, although the environment
differences are minor. For exact comparison with existing Atari v3
results, make use of earlier gym and atari-py versions.

<= 0.0.21. Note that the v4 environments will not give identical results to
existing v3 results, although differences are minor. The v4 environments
incorporate the latest Arcade Learning Environment (ALE), including several
ROM fixes, and now handle loading and saving of the emulator state. While
seeds still ensure determinism, the effect of any given seed is not preserved
across this upgrade because the random number generator in ALE has changed.
The `*NoFrameSkip-v4` environments should be considered the canonical Atari
environments from now on.
- 2017-03-05: BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY: The `configure` method has been removed
from `Env`. `configure` was not used by `gym`, but was used by some dependent
libraries including `universe`. These libraries will migrate away from the
