The 2.17 minor series tracks TensorFlow 2.17.

Features

• Enable adding hparams columns in scalar data tables in Time Series dashboard (#6737 accidentally omitted from notes in release 2.16.0)
• Usability improvements for runs table and hparams in Time Series dashboard (#6837, #6839)

• Resolved Graph plugin compatibility issues with Keras 3. (#6759, #6823, #6761, #6857, etc. thanks @mloc)
• Restricts the protobuf dependency to be < 5.0.0, due to a recent breaking change (see #6808 for details).

TensorBoard 2.16.2

Bug Fixes

• Remove dependency on tf-keras pip package. (#6759)

TensorBoard 2.16.1

Bug Fixes

• Depend on tf-keras instead of tf-keras-nightly.

TensorBoard 2.16.0

The 2.16 minor series tracks TensorFlow 2.16.

Features

• Time Series dashboard:
  • Improved sorting of runs whose names begin with integers. (#6664)
  • Improved hparams filtering. (#6680, #6692)
  • Usability improvements and fixes in runs table. (#6656, #6658, #6678, #6736)

  • Improved support for dark theme. (#6691, thanks @tummala-manasa)
• Removed dependencies on google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib, and requests libraries. (#6705)
• Relaxed restriction on protobuf dependency, given that issue @protocolbuffers/protobuf#13485 was fixed. (#6660, #6746)

Bug Fixes

• Hparams plugin:
  • Fixed Download data links. (#6719 fixes #6088, thanks @louis49)
• Time Series dashboard:
  • Fixed color picker usability regression. (#6682)
• Brings the tensorboard-data-server wheel into conformance with PEP 600, enabling support for the --load-fast flag in systems with GLIBC >= 2.29. (Requires installing/updating package tensorboard-data-server==0.7.2) (#6636 fixes #6578)

Breaking Changes

• tensorboard dev subcommand will now show an error message without sending any requests, as our hosted service at http://tensorboard.dev has been shut down.
• Not quite a breaking change, but to something to be aware of: TensorBoard releases generally follow TensorFlow’s releases. However, while TF 2.16 will start using Keras 3 by default, TensorBoard plugins’ implementation remains with keras 2 support only. See @keras-team/keras#18467 for details.

TensorBoard 2.15.2

Breaking Changes

• Updates restriction on protobuf dependency to avoid bad version while still
  allowing newer versions.(#6660 & #6746)

TensorBoard 2.15.1

Breaking Changes

• TensorBoard.dev is shutting down. See the FAQ at https://tensorboard.dev.
  • No longer able to upload new data to TensorBoard.dev. The tensorboard dev upload command will fail. (#6638)
  • The experimental dataframe api has been deleted. (#6644)

Bug Fixes

• Time Series dashboard:
  • Sort run names with leading numbers differently. (#6664)
  • Show scrollbar in runs table only when needed. (#6656)
  • Fix 'Prev' and 'Next' buttons in dark mode. (#6663)
  • Better loading/reloading behavior for runs table. (#6658)

TensorBoard 2.15.0

The 2.15 minor series tracks TensorFlow 2.15.

Features

• Scalar chart data tables are shown by default. This can be disabled from the general settings panel. (#6563)
• Hparams support in timeseries. Allows sorting and filtering the Runs Table in the Time Series dashboard using values logged with the Hparams plugin. (#6565)
• Better default sorting of Hparams in the Hparams plugin. Sort the ones that have multiple values to the top of the list. (#6601)
• New material components across the UI. (#6631)

Bug Fixes

• Restricts protobuf dependency to < 4.24 due to protocolbuffers/protobuf#13485 (#6538)
