 # ChangeLog
 
+## Release 1.2 - 12/02/2019
+
+### Major Features
+* [Feature Engineering](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/FeatureEngineering/Overview.md)
+  - New feature engineering interface
+  - Feature selection algorithms: [Gradient feature selector](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/FeatureEngineering/GradientFeatureSelector.md) & [GBDT selector](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/FeatureEngineering/GBDTSelector.md)
+  - [Examples for feature engineering](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/tree/v1.2/examples/feature_engineering)
+* Neural Architecture Search (NAS) on NNI
+  - [New NAS interface](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/NAS/NasInterface.md)
+  - NAS algorithms: [ENAS](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/NAS/Overview.md#enas), [DARTS](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/NAS/Overview.md#darts), [P-DARTS](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/NAS/Overview.md#p-darts) (in PyTorch)
+  - NAS in classic mode (each trial runs independently)
+* Model compression
+  - [New model pruning algorithms](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/Compressor/Overview.md): lottery ticket pruning approach, L1Filter pruner, Slim pruner, FPGM pruner
+  - [New model quantization algorithms](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/docs/en_US/Compressor/Overview.md): QAT quantizer, DoReFa quantizer
+  - Support the API for exporting compressed model.
+* Training Service
+  - Support OpenPAI token authentication
+* Examples:
+  - [An example to automatically tune rocksdb configuration with NNI](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/tree/v1.2/examples/trials/systems/rocksdb-fillrandom).
+  - [A new MNIST trial example supports tensorflow 2.0](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/tree/v1.2/examples/trials/mnist-tfv2).
+* Engineering Improvements
+  - For remote training service,  trial jobs require no GPU are now scheduled with round-robin policy instead of random.
+  - Pylint rules added to check pull requests, new pull requests need to comply with these [pylint rules](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.2/pylintrc).
+* Web Portal & User Experience
+  - Support user to add customized trial.
+  - User can zoom out/in in detail graphs, except Hyper-parameter.
+* Documentation
+  - Improved NNI API documentation with more API docstring.
+
+### Bug fix
+  - Fix the table sort issue when failed trials haven't metrics. -Issue #1773
+  - Maintain selected status(Maximal/Minimal) when the page switched. -PR#1710
+  - Make hyper-parameters graph's default metric yAxis more accurate. -PR#1736
+  - Fix GPU script permission issue. -Issue #1665
+
+## Release 1.1 - 10/23/2019
+
+### Major Features
+
+* New tuner: [PPO Tuner](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.1/docs/en_US/Tuner/PPOTuner.md)
+* [View stopped experiments](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.1/docs/en_US/Tutorial/Nnictl.md#view)
+* Tuners can now use dedicated GPU resource (see `gpuIndices` in [tutorial](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.1/docs/en_US/Tutorial/ExperimentConfig.md) for details)
+* Web UI improvements
+  - Trials detail page can now list hyperparameters of each trial, as well as their start and end time (via "add column")
+  - Viewing huge experiment is now less laggy
+* More examples
+  - [EfficientNet PyTorch example](https://github.com/ultmaster/EfficientNet-PyTorch)
+  - [Cifar10 NAS example](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.1/examples/trials/nas_cifar10/README.md)
+* [Model compression toolkit - Alpha release](https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/v1.1/docs/en_US/Compressor/Overview.md): We are glad to announce the alpha release for model compression toolkit on top of NNI, it's still in the experiment phase which might evolve based on usage feedback. We'd like to invite you to use, feedback and even contribute
