The tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem package is now optional, due its uncertain, and limited support. To install it alongside tensorflow, run pip install "tensorflow[gcs-filesystem]".

Major Features and Improvements

tf.data
- Adds autotune.min_parallelism to tf.data.Options to enable faster input pipeline warm up.
tf.lite
- tf.lite will be deprecated, in favor of the new repo https://github.com/google-ai-edge/LiteRT.
- The duplicated source will also be removed from the TF repo.
