v0.20.0 Release Notes

Major Change

  • Replaced Atari-Py dependency with ALE-Py and bumped all versions. This is a massive upgrade with many changes, please see the full explainer (@JesseFarebro)
  • Note that ALE-Py does not include ROMs. You can install ROMs in two lines of bash with AutoROM though (pip3 install autorom and then autorom), see https://github.com/PettingZoo-Team/AutoROM. This is the recommended approach for CI, etc.

Breaking changes and new features:

  • Add RecordVideo wrapper, deprecate monitor wrapper in favor of it and RecordEpisodeStatistics wrapper (@vwxyzjn)
  • Dependencies used outside of environments (e.g. for wrappers) are now in gym[other] (@jkterry1)
  • Moved algorithmic and unused toy-text envs (guessing game, hotter colder, nchain, roulette, kellycoinflip) to third party repos (@jkterry1, @Rohan138)
  • Fixed flatten utility and flatdim in MultiDiscrete space (@tristandeleu)
  • Add __setitem__ to dict space (@jfpettit)
  • Large fixes to .contains method for box space (@FirefoxMetzger)
  • Made blackjack environment properly comply with Barto and Sutton book standard, bumped to v1 (@RedTachyon)
  • Added NormalizeObservation and NormalizeReward wrappers (@vwxyzjn)
  • Add __getitem__ and __len__ to MultiDiscrete space (@XuehaiPan)
  • Changed .shape to be a property of box space to prevent unexpected behaviors (@RedTachyon)
