+* Support model default_cfgs with separate train vs test resolution `test_input_size` and remove extra `_320` suffix ResNet model defs that were just for test.
+
+### Jan 30, 2021
+* Add initial "Normalization Free" NF-RegNet-B* and NF-ResNet model definitions based on [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.08692)

+* Add official R50+ViT-B/16 hybrid models + weights from https://github.com/google-research/vision_transformer
+* ImageNet-21k ViT weights are added w/ model defs and representation layer (pre logits) support
+  * NOTE: ImageNet-21k classifier heads were zero'd in original weights, they are only useful for transfer learning
+* Add model defs and weights for DeiT Vision Transformer models from https://github.com/facebookresearch/deit
+* Refactor dataset classes into ImageDataset/IterableImageDataset + dataset specific parser classes
+* Add Tensorflow-Datasets (TFDS) wrapper to allow use of TFDS image classification sets with train script
+  * Ex: `train.py /data/tfds --dataset tfds/oxford_iiit_pet --val-split test --model resnet50 -b 256 --amp --num-classes 37 --opt adamw --lr 3e-4 --weight-decay .001 --pretrained -j 2`
+* Add improved .tar dataset parser that reads images from .tar, folder of .tar files, or .tar within .tar
+  * Run validation on full ImageNet-21k directly from tar w/ BiT model: `validate.py /data/fall11_whole.tar --model resnetv2_50x1_bitm_in21k --amp`
+* Models in this update should be stable w/ possible exception of ViT/BiT, possibility of some regressions with train/val scripts and dataset handling

+* Simplify EMA module (ModelEmaV2), compatible with fully torchscripted models
+* Misc fixes for SiLU ONNX export, default_cfg missing from Feature extraction models, Linear layer w/ AMP + torchscript
+* PyPi release @ 0.3.2 (needed by EfficientDet)
+
 ### Oct 30, 2020
 * Test with PyTorch 1.7 and fix a small top-n metric view vs reshape issue.
 * Convert newly added 224x224 Vision Transformer weights from official JAX repo. 81.8 top-1 for B/16, 83.1 L/16.
