:rocket: Announcing Ultralytics v8.3.106!

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest update—v8.3.106! :tada: This release brings significant enhancements to CoreML export for iOS14+, along with improvements in package distribution, documentation, and tutorial compatibility. Dive into the details below to explore what’s new and how it can benefit your workflows!

:glowing_star: Key Features

iOS14+ CoreML Export Enhancements

  • Added support for exporting YOLO models to CoreML in mlmodel and mlpackage formats for seamless deployment on iOS14+ devices.
  • CoreML tools now automatically determine iOS compatibility without requiring a minimum version parameter.
  • Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) export specifications are now synchronized with the core model to ensure consistency.

These improvements simplify the export process, making YOLO models more accessible to Apple developers! :red_apple:

:wrench: Improvements

  • Package Distribution Cleanup
    The top-level tests directory has been excluded from package distribution to prevent naming conflicts with user projects.

  • Documentation Fix
    Resolved a broken link in the Albumentations integration guide, enabling smoother navigation for users. :books:

  • Tutorial Notebook Update
    Updated commands from !uv pip install ultralytics to %pip install ultralytics in Jupyter tutorial notebooks for better compatibility across environments.

:bullseye: Why This Matters

  • For Apple Developers: iOS14+ support significantly broadens the deployment options for your YOLO-based applications.
  • For Developers: Cleaner package installations mean fewer hiccups during setup.
  • For Users: Corrected documentation and updated tutorials ensure a seamless learning and integration experience. :blush:

With a focus on usability and flexibility, this release is designed to enhance your development journey and enable faster deployment of YOLO models!
