What's New

Adds OpenVINO, LiteRT, and Core AI export formats plus dynamic-batch TensorRT engines.

Breaking Changes

  • Export internals restructured; update imports for direct converter functions (e.g., export_onnx -> OnnxExporter).
  • TrainConfig.multi_scale is now a three-state enum; remove boolean do_random_resize_via_padding.
  • TensorRT export with backbone_only=True now requires a -backbone suffix to prevent overwrites.
  • Removed functions: RFDETR.optimize_for_inference(), TrainConfig.lr_drop, and TrainConfig.lr_min_factor.

New Features

  • OpenVINO IR export with configurable precision (float32/float16).
  • Apple Core AI export targeting iOS, iPadOS, and macOS 27+.
  • Dynamic-batch TensorRT engines accepting a range of batch sizes.
  • WebDataset streaming reader for tar-shard training input.
  • Opt-in CUDA graph training replay for single-GPU detection.

Improvements

  • Restructured export internals using a registry pattern.
  • Training acceleration via CUDA graph replay and WebDataset streaming.

Upgrade Notes

Update import paths for direct converter functions (e.g., `export_onnx` -> `OnnxExporter`). Update `TrainConfig.multi_scale` to the new enum and remove the `do_random_resize_via_padding` parameter. Be aware that TensorRT engines with `backbone_only=True` now require a `-backbone` suffix.
