Release 2.19.0

TensorFlow

Breaking Changes

• LiteRT, a.k.a. tf.lite:
  • C++ API:
    • The public constants tflite::Interpreter:kTensorsReservedCapacity and tflite::Interpreter:kTensorsCapacityHeadroom are now const references, rather than constexpr compile-time constants. (This is to enable better API compatibility for TFLite in Play services while preserving the implementation flexibility to change the values of these constants in the future.)
  • Python API:
    • tf.lite.Interpreter gives deprecation warning redirecting to its new location at ai_edge_litert.interpreter, as the API tf.lite.Interpreter will be deleted in TF 2.20. See the migration guide for details.

Known Caveats

Major Features and Improvements
