Apache MXNet 1.5.1 is a patch release that includes fixes for critical bugs and performance regressions introduced with 1.5.0 release.
As MXNet follows semver, this release includes backwards-compatible fixes only.
New features can be introduced in the next minor release. MXNet 1.6.0 road map can be found at https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/15589.
