- Add a test for blocking calls.
- Do not require the queue to be empty after waking up; this frees up the thread to answer blocking calls.
- Handle EOF in read.
- Improve the error message in the result. Allow concatenation of multiple results.
- Use the array interface internally.
- Deprecate `XGDMatrixSetDenseInfo`.
- Deprecate `XGDMatrixSetUIntInfo`.
- Move the handling of `DataType` into the deprecated C function.

- Use std::uint64_t instead of size_t to avoid implementation-defined type.
- Rename to bst_idx_t, to account for other types of indexing.
- Small cleanup to the base header.
- Implement a columnar adapter.
- Refactor Python pandas handling code to avoid converting into a single numpy array.
- Add support in R for transforming columns.
- Support R data.frame and factor type.
This PR adds optional support for loading nccl with `dlopen` as an alternative of compile time linking. This is to address the size bloat issue with the PyPI binary release.
- Add CMake option to load `nccl` at runtime.
- Add an NCCL stub.
After this, `nccl` will be fetched from PyPI when using pip to install XGBoost, either by a user or by `pyproject.toml`. Others who want to link the nccl at compile time can continue to do so without any change.
At the moment, this is Linux only since we only support MNMG on Linux.
* [coll] Pass context to various functions.
In the future, the `Context` object would be required for collective operations, this PR
passes the context object to some required functions to prepare for swapping out the
implementation.
* [coll] Implement a new tracker and a communicator.
The new tracker and communicators communicate through the use of JSON documents. Along
with which, communicators are aware of each other.

- Remove rabit checkpoint version.
- Change the starting version of training continuation in JVM [breaking].
- Redefine the checkpoint version policy in jvm package. [breaking]
- Rename the Python check point callback parameter. [breaking]
- Unifies the checkpoint policy between Python and JVM.
- Use the `linalg::Matrix` for storing gradients.
- New API for the custom objective.
- Custom objective for multi-class/multi-target is now required to return the correct shape.
- Custom objective for Python can accept arrays with any strides. (row-major, column-major)
