- 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)
* Define `best_iteration` only if early stopping is used.
This is the behavior specified by the document but not honored in the actual code.
- Don't set the attributes if there's no early stopping.
- Clean up the code for callbacks, and replace assertions with proper exceptions.
- Assign the attributes when early stopping `save_best` is used.
- Turn the attributes into Python properties.

- Rewrite GPU demos. notebook is converted to script to avoid committing additional png plots.
- Add GPU demos into the sphinx gallery.
- Add RMM demos into the sphinx gallery.
- Test for firing threads with different device ordinals.
* Handle the new `device` parameter in dask and demos.
- Check no ordinal is specified in the dask interface.
- Update demos.
- Update dask doc.
- Update the condition for QDM.
Previously, we use `libsvm` as default when format is not specified. However, the dmlc
data parser is not particularly robust against errors, and the most common type of error
is undefined format.
Along with which, we will recommend users to use other data loader instead. We will
continue the maintenance of the parsers as it's currently used for many internal tests
including federated learning.
- Fix prediction range.
