  • Lightweight Gaussian Process (GP)-Based Sampler
  • Speeding up Importance Evaluation with PED-ANOVA
  • Stricter Verification Logic for FrozenTrial
  • Refactoring the Optuna Dashboard
  • Migration to Optuna Integration

Breaking Changes

  • Implement optuna.terminator using optuna._gp (#5241)

These migration-related PRs do not break the backward compatibility as long as optuna-integration v3.6.0 or later is installed in your environment.
