on Python PyPI

MLflow 1.2 includes the following major features and improvements:

• Experiments now have editable tags and descriptions (#1630, #1632, #1678, @ankitmathur-db)
• Search latency has been significantly reduced in the SQLAlchemyStore (#1660, @t-henri)

More features and improvements

• Backend stores now support run tag values up to 5000 characters in length. Some store implementations may support longer tag values (#1687, @ankitmathur-db)
• Gunicorn options can now be configured for the mlflow models serve CLI with the GUNICORN_CMD_ARGS environment variable (#1557, @LarsDu)

• Adds an optional python_version argument to mlflow_install for specifying the Python version (e.g. "3.5") to use within the conda environment created for installing the MLflow CLI. If python_version is unspecified, mlflow_install defaults to using Python 3.6. (#1722, @smurching)
