To expose TensorBoard to the network, either use a proxy, bind + to a specific hostname or IP address by using the `--host` flag, or explicitly + enable the previous behavior of binding on all network interfaces by passing + the flag `--bind_all`. See PR #2589. + +- The `--logdir` flag no longer supports passing multiple comma-delimited paths, + which means that it now *supports* paths containing literal comma and colon + characters, like `./logs/m=10,n=20,lr=0.001` or `./logs/run_12:30:15`. To + mimic the old behavior, prefer using a tree of symlinks as it works with more + plugins, but as a fallback the flag `--logdir_spec` exposes the old behavior. + See PR #2664. + +- Projector plugin `visualize_embeddings()` API now takes `logdir` as its first + parameter rather than `writer` (which only supported TF 1.x summary writers). + For backwards compatibility TF 1.x writers will still be accepted, but passing + the logdir explicitly is preferred since it works without any dependency on + TF 1.x or 2.x summary writing. See PR #2665. + +- The namespace `tensorboard.summary.*` now aliases the summary API symbols in + `tensorboard.summary.v2.*` rather than those in `tensorboard.summary.v1.*`. + The old symbols can still be accessed under the `.v1` names. Note that the + new v2 API symbols are exposed in TF 2.0 as the new `tf.summary.*` API and + this is normally how they should be used. See PR #2670. + +## Features + +- Smarter log directory polling can be used by passing `--reload_multifile=true` + to poll all "active" event files in a directory rather than only the last one. + This avoids problems where data written to the non-last file never appears. + See PR #1867 for details, including how to adjust the "active" threshold. + +- What-If Tool now can sort PD plots by interestingness (#2461) + + # Release 1.15.0 The 1.15 minor series tracks TensorFlow 1.15.
