Keep up the great work, Matthew and Ines (et al)!
This doesn't mention the transformer models [1] that were recently announced, so even though it's not 2.2 related, I'll just point it out because it's recent spaCy news :)
I had thought I'd seen somewhere (spaCy IRL?) that this kinda stuff was not supposed to show up until v3.

- najarvg 7y agoSpaCy PyTorch transformers are pip installed and require Python 3.6+ and SpaCy 2.1.7+ to work - https://github.com/explosion/spacy-pytorch-transformers https://github.com/explosion/spacy-pytorch-transformers So probably not directly related to core SpaCy itself.
- syllogism 7y agoWe're definitely planning to do more there -- we took a bit longer than anticipated getting v2.2 out, due to various packaging and automation hiccups. Huggingface are doing a great job keeping transformers moving quickly, so we already have some catching up to do. We need to update the wrapper so it works with the new version. I also want to check out Tensorflow 2, and build a Thinc wrapper for it.
