Added
* Annotation types
- A set of python objects for working with labelbox data
- Creates a standard interface for both exports and imports
- See example notebooks on how to use under examples/annotation_types
- Note that these types are not yet supported for tiled imagery
* MEA Support
- Beta MEA users can now just use the latest SDK release
* Metadata support
- New metadata features are now fully supported by the SDK
* Easier export
- `project.export_labels()` accepts a boolean indicating whether or not to download the result
- Create annotation objects directly from exports with `project.label_generator()` or `project.video_label_generator()`
- `project.video_label_generator()` asynchronously fetches video annotations
* Retry logic on data uploads
- Bulk creation of data rows will be more reliable
* Datasets
- Determine the number of data rows just by calling `dataset.row_count`.
- Updated threading logic in create_data_rows() to make it compatible with aws lambdas
* Ontology
- `OntologyBuilder`, `Classification`, `Option`, and `Tool` can now be imported from `labelbox` instead of `labelbox.schema.ontology`
Removed
* Deprecated:
- `project.reviews()`
- `project.create_prediction()`
- `project.create_prediction_model()`
- `project.create_label()`
- `Project.predictions()`
- `Project.active_prediction_model`
- `data_row.predictions`
- `PredictionModel`
- `Prediction`
* Replaced:
- `data_row.metadata()` use `data_row.attachments()` instead
- `data_row.create_metadata()` use `data_row.create_attachments()` instead
- `AssetMetadata` use `AssetAttachment` instead
Fixes
* Support derived classes of ontology objects when using `from_dict`
* Notebooks:
- Video export bug where the code would fail if the exported projects had tools other than bounding boxes
- MAL demos were broken due to an image download failing.
Installation
* Data processing dependencies are not installed by default to for users that only want client functionality.
* To install all dependencies required for the data modules (annotation types and mea metric calculation) use `pip install labelbox[data]`. For a specific version (such as the rc release) use `pip install "labelbox[data]==3.0.0rc0"`
