v0.19.0 Release Notes#

Gym 0.19.0 is a large maintenance release, and the first since @jkterry1 became the maintainer. There should be no breaking changes in this release.

New features#

  • Added custom datatype argument to multidiscrete space (@m-orsini)

Bug fixes#

  • Removed unused dependencies, removed unnescesary dependency version requirements that caused installation issues on newer machines, added full requirements.txt and moved general dependencies to extras.
