Jax

* Changes
* JAX should be faster to import. We now import scipy lazily, which accounted
for a significant fraction of JAX's import time.
* Setting the env var `JAX_PERSISTENT_CACHE_MIN_COMPILE_TIME_SECS=$N` can be
used to limit the number of cache entries written to the persistent cache.
By default, computations that take 1 second or more to compile will be
cached.
* Added {func}`jax.scipy.stats.mode`.
* The default device order used by `pmap` on TPU if no order is specified now
matches `jax.devices()` for single-process jobs. Previously the
two orderings differed, which could lead to unnecessary copies or
out-of-memory errors. Requiring the orderings to agree simplifies matters.
* Breaking Changes
* {func}`jax.numpy.gradient` now behaves like most other functions in {mod}`jax.numpy`,
and forbids passing lists or tuples in place of arrays ({jax-issue}`12958`)
* Functions in {mod}`jax.numpy.linalg` and {mod}`jax.numpy.fft` now uniformly
require inputs to be array-like: i.e. lists and tuples cannot be used in place
of arrays. Part of {jax-issue}`7737`.
* Deprecations
* `jax.sharding.MeshPspecSharding` has been renamed to `jax.sharding.NamedSharding`.
`jax.sharding.MeshPspecSharding` name will be removed in 3 months.

jaxlib 0.3.24 (Nov 4, 2022)
* Changes
* Buffer donation now works on CPU. This may break code that marked buffers
for donation on CPU but relied on donation not being implemented.

* Changes
* Update Colab TPU driver version for new jaxlib release.

* Changes
* Add `JAX_PLATFORMS=tpu,cpu` as default setting in TPU initialization,
so JAX will raise an error if TPU cannot be initialized instead of falling
back to CPU. Set `JAX_PLATFORMS=''` to override this behavior and automatically
choose an available backend (the original default), or set `JAX_PLATFORMS=cpu`
to always use CPU regardless of if the TPU is available.
* Deprecations
* Several test utilities deprecated in JAX v0.3.8 are now removed from
{mod}`jax.test_util`.

jaxlib 0.3.22 (Oct 11, 2022)

* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/jax-ml/jax/compare/jax-v0.3.20...jax-v0.3.21).
* Changes
* The persistent compilation cache will now warn instead of raising an
exception on error ({jax-issue}`12582`), so program execution can continue
if something goes wrong with the cache. Set
`JAX_RAISE_PERSISTENT_CACHE_ERRORS=true` to revert this behavior.

* Bug fixes:
* Adds missing `.pyi` files that were missing from the previous release ({jax-issue}`12536`).
* Fixes an incompatibility between `jax` 0.3.19 and the libtpu version it pinned ({jax-issue}`12550`). Requires jaxlib 0.3.20.
* Fix incorrect `pip` url in `setup.py` comment ({jax-issue}`12528`).

jaxlib 0.3.20 (Sep 28, 2022)
* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/jax-ml/jax/compare/jaxlib-v0.3.15...jaxlib-v0.3.20).
* Bug fixes
* Fixes support for limiting the visible CUDA devices via
`jax_cuda_visible_devices` in distributed jobs. This functionality is needed for
the JAX/SLURM integration on GPU ({jax-issue}`12533`).

* [GitHub commits](https://github.com/jax-ml/jax/compare/jax-v0.3.18...jax-v0.3.19).
* Fixes required jaxlib version.
