ultralytics 8.3.135

v8.3.135 - `ultralytics 8.3.135` TF.js fix with `onnx>=1.12.0,<1.18.0` pin (#20640)

on Python PyPI

🌟 Summary

This release improves model export reliability, speeds up font handling, enhances pose documentation, and streamlines video processing for a smoother user experience. 🚀

📊 Key Changes

• 🛡️ Export Stability: ONNX version is now limited to >=1.12.0 and <1.18.0 for TensorFlow SavedModel exports, preventing compatibility issues.
• ⚡ Faster Predictions: Font checking is now cached, making repeated predictions much faster—especially when using yolo predict.
• 🎬 Smarter Video Processing: The "quit" option for video processing only appears when results are displayed, improving efficiency for headless or automated tasks.
• 📝 Clearer Pose Metrics: Pose task documentation now includes detailed explanations of new evaluation metrics.
• 🤖 YOLOE Prompt Handling: YOLOE now reuses prompts when a reference image is provided, simplifying multi-image predictions.

🎯 Purpose & Impact

• 🚀 More Reliable Model Exports: Users exporting models to TensorFlow or TFLite will experience fewer errors and smoother conversions.
• ⚡ Faster Workflows: Predicting with YOLO models is now significantly quicker, especially for repeated or batch operations.
• 🖥️ Better Automation: Video processing is more efficient and less confusing for users running scripts without a display.
• 📈 Improved Understanding: Enhanced documentation helps users interpret pose detection results more easily.
• 🤝 Simplified Usage: YOLOE’s improved prompt logic makes it easier to work with multiple images and reference prompts.

Overall, this update delivers a faster, more stable, and more user-friendly experience for Ultralytics users! 🌟
