This is the first release candidate for TensorFlow Java 1.0.0, and includes a major refactoring of the source structure and the CI/CD pipelines (see #521). While most the API has not been impacted, there are some breaking changes that might require updating the code of your application if you've been using TensorFlow Java before, please see these guidelines for more details.
