🌟 Summary

Automated SPDX SBOMs are now generated and attached to every release, improving security and compliance; plus enhanced TorchScript export flexibility with dynamic shapes and expanded MNN export testing. 🔐📦🧪

📊 Key Changes

• Automated SBOM generation in SPDX JSON for each release via a new GitHub Actions job; artifact is uploaded to the release. 🧾
• Workflow hardening: safer PR title handling to avoid shell parsing issues; actions/download-artifact updated to v5. 🔧
• TorchScript exports now support dynamic=True, enabling variable input sizes; docs, examples, and tests updated. 📐
• CI coverage expanded with an MNN export test matrix across tasks, precisions (INT8/FP16, mutually exclusive), and batches. ✅
• Docs improvements:
  • Added YouTube tutorials to COCO8-Grayscale and COCO8-Multispectral dataset pages for training YOLO11. 🎥
  • Fixed missing imports in the SAHI tiled inference guide. 🧩
  • Refined Comet callback docs and updated authors metadata. 📚
  • Polished Parking Management guide formatting. ✨
  • Updated docs banner to promote the YOLO Vision 2025 event. 🎉
• Version bump to 8.3.177. 🔖

🎯 Purpose & Impact

• Stronger supply chain transparency and compliance: SBOMs help with audits, vulnerability tracking, and enterprise procurement. 🔍✅
• More reliable release automation and CI stability, reducing risk of workflow failures. 🛡️
• Greater deployment flexibility: dynamic TorchScript supports varying image sizes without re-exporting, aligning with other formats. ♻️
• Higher confidence in MNN deployments through broader automated testing coverage. 🧪
• Faster onboarding and better UX with clearer docs, working examples, and video guides for YOLO11 and Ultralytics HUB workflows. 🚀
