254+ ### 2021-11-06 v0.7.0.0
255+
256+ Since a lot of updates happened since last release version is updated straight to v0.7.0.0
257+
258+ Additions:
259+ - Added experimental support for msgpack serializer: helps reduce network traffic for embeddings for ~ 2x.
260+ - Output names no longer required for detection models when building TRT engine - correct output order is now extracted
261+ from onnx models.
262+ - Detection models now can be exported to TRT engine with batch size > 1 - inference code doesn't support it yet, though
263+ now they could be used in Triton Inference Server without issues.
264+
265+ Model Zoo:
266+ - Added support for WebFace600k based recognition models from InsightFace repo: ` w600k_r50 ` and ` w600k_mbf `
267+ - Added md5 check for models to allow automatic re-download if models have changed.
268+ - All ` scrfd ` based models now supports batch dimension/
269+
270+ Improvements:
271+ - 1.5x-2x faster SCRFD re-implementation with Numba: 4.5 ms. vs 10 ms. for ` lumia.jpg ` example with
272+ ` scrfd_10g_gnkps ` and threshold = 0.3 (432 faces detected)).
273+ - Move image normalization step to GPU with help of CuPy (4x lower data transfer from CPU to GPU, about 6%
274+ inference speedup, and some computations offloaded from CPU).
275+ - 4.5x Faster ` face_align.norm_crop ` implementation with help of Numba and removal of unused computations.
276+ (Cropping 432 faces from ` lumia.jpg ` example tooks 45 ms. vs 205 ms.).
277+ - Face crops are now extracted only when needed - when face data or embeddings are requested, improving
278+ detection only performance.
279+ - Added Numba njit cache to reduce subsequent starts time.
280+ - Logging timings rounded to ms for better readability.
281+ - Minor refactoring
282+
283+ Fixes:
284+ - Since gender/age estimation model is currently not supported exclude it from models preparing step.
