* Add release note for 1.0.0
* Fix a small bug in the Python script that compiles the list of contributors
* Clarify governance of CI infrastructure; now PMC is formally in charge
* Address reviewer comment
* Fix typo
- move segment sorter to common
- this is the first of a handful of pr's that splits the larger pr #5326
- it moves this facility to common (from ranking objective class), so that it can be
used for metric computation
- it also wraps all the bald device pointers into span.
* Remove f-string, since it's not supported by Python 3.5 (#5330)
* Remove f-string, since it's not supported by Python 3.5
* Add Python 3.5 to CI, to ensure compatibility
* Remove duplicated matplotlib
* Show deprecation notice for Python 3.5
* Fix lint
* Fix lint
* Fix a unit test that mistook MINOR ver for PATCH ver
* Enforce only major version in JSON model schema
* Bump version to 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
* Added a check call macro in jvm package, prevents executing other functions
from jvm when error occurred in XGBoost. For example, when prediction fails jvm
should not try to allocate memory based on the output prediction size.
Move this function into gbtree, and uses only updater for doing so. As now the predictor knows exactly how many trees to predict, there's no need for it to update the prediction cache.
* Move prediction cache into Learner.
* Clean-ups
- Remove duplicated cache in Learner and GBM.
- Remove ad-hoc fix of invalid cache.
- Remove `PredictFromCache` in predictors.
- Remove prediction cache for linear altogether, as it's only moving the
prediction into training process but doesn't provide any actual overall speed
gain.
- The cache is now unique to Learner, which means the ownership is no longer
shared by any other components.
* Changes
- Add version to prediction cache.
- Use weak ptr to check expired DMatrix.
- Pass shared pointer instead of raw pointer.
The setup.py is rewritten. This new script uses only Python code and provide customized
implementation of setuptools commands. This way users can run most of setuptools commands
just like any other Python libraries.
* Remove setup_pip.py
* Remove soft links.
* Define customized commands.
* Remove shell script.
* Remove makefile script.
* Update the doc for building from source.
* Make pip install xgboost*.tar.gz work by fixing build-python.sh
* Simplify install doc
* Add test
* Install Miniconda for Linux target too
* Build XGBoost only once in sdist
* Try importing xgboost after installation
* Don't set PYTHONPATH env var for sdist test
