# Release v0.10.0
22

3+
We are glad to release version 0.10.0. In this version, we are happy to
4+
release the
5+
new
6+
[Python API](http://research.baidu.com/paddlepaddles-new-api-simplifies-deep-learning-programs/).
7+
8+
- Our old Python API is kind of out of date. It's hard to learn and hard to
9+
use. To write a PaddlePaddle program using the old API, we'd have to write
10+
at least two Python files: one `data provider` and another one that defines
11+
the network topology. Users start a PaddlePaddle job by running the
12+
`paddle_trainer` C++ program, which calls Python interpreter to run the
13+
network topology configuration script and then start the training loop,
14+
which iteratively calls the data provider function to load minibatches.
15+
This prevents us from writing a Python program in a modern way, e.g., in the
16+
Jupyter Notebook.
17+
18+
- The new API, which we often refer to as the *v2 API*, allows us to write
19+
much shorter Python programs to define the network and the data in a single
20+
.py file. Also, this program can run in Jupyter Notebook, since the entry
21+
point is in Python program and PaddlePaddle runs as a shared library loaded
22+
and invoked by this Python program.
23+
24+
Basing on the new API, we delivered an online interative
25+
book, [Deep Learning 101](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/index.en.html)
26+
and [its Chinese version](http://book.paddlepaddle.org/).
27+
28+
We also worked on updating our online documentation to describe the new API.
29+
But this is an ongoing work. We will release more documentation improvements
30+
in the next version.
31+
32+
We also worked on bring the new API to distributed model training (via MPI and
33+
Kubernetes). This work is ongoing. We will release more about it in the next
34+
version.
