v0.5.0

Highlights

• Multivariate forecasting support: The users can now create multivariate tasks by setting the target_column to a list[str] with names of target columns when creating a Task. Check out the updated tutorial for more details.
• API changes: The following Task attributes have been deprecated. Results containing old names can still be used, but creating new tasks with deprecated attributes will produce a warning.
  • multiple_target_columns has been renamed to generate_univariate_targets_from.
  • min_ts_length has been replaced by min_context_length.
• Improved handling of short series: Previously, if some time series in the dataset were too short for the chosen horizon and cutoff combination, and exception would be raised. Now, these series will be automatically filtered out during dataset loading.
