v2.0.0-rc.6

[decahedron1]

ort::Error refactor

ort::Error is no longer an enum, but rather an opaque struct with a message and a new ErrorCode field.

ort::Error still implements std::error::Error, so this change shouldn't be too breaking; however, if you were previously matching on ort::Errors, you'll have to refactor your code to instead match on the error's code (acquired with the Error::code() function).

AllocationDevice refactor

The AllocationDevice type has also been converted from an enum to a struct. Common devices like CUDA or DirectML are accessible via associated constants like AllocationDevice::CUDA & AllocationDevice::DIRECTML.

Features

• 60f6eca Update to ONNX Runtime v1.19.2.
• 9f4527c Added ModelMetadata::custom_keys() to get a Vec of all custom keys.
• bfa791d Add various SessionBuilder options affecting compute & graph optimizations.
• 5e6fc6b Expose the underlying Allocator API. You can now allocate & free buffers acquired from a session or operator kernel context.
• 52422ae Added ValueType::Optional.
• 2576812 Added the Vitis AI execution provider for new AMD Ryzen AI chips.
• 41ef65a Added the RKNPU execution provider for certain Rockchip NPUs.
• 6b3e7a0 Added KernelContext::par_for, allowing operator kernels to use ONNX Runtime's thread pool without needing an extra dependency on a crate like rayon.

Fixes

• edcb219 Make environment initialization thread-safe. This should eliminate intermittent segfaults when running tests concurrently, like seen in Potential issue in concurrent initialisation in tests #278.
• 3072279 Linux dylibs no longer require version symlinks, fixing libonnxruntime.so.1 not found on rc5 #269.
• bc70a0a Fixed unsatisfiable lifetime bounds when creating Tensors from &CowArrays.
• 6592b17 Providing more inputs than the model expects no longer segfaults.
• b595048 Shave off dependencies by removing tracing's attributes feature - a --no-default-features build of ort now only builds 9 crates!
• c7ddbdb Removed the operator-libraries feature - you can still use SessionBuilder::with_operator_library, it's just no longer gated behind the feature!
