v0.20.0 Release Notes

Major Change

• Replaced Atari-Py dependency with ALE-Py and bumped all versions. This is a massive upgrade with many changes, please see the full explainer (@JesseFarebro)
• Note that ALE-Py does not include ROMs. You can install ROMs in two lines of bash with AutoROM though (pip3 install autorom and then autorom), see https://github.com/PettingZoo-Team/AutoROM. This is the recommended approach for CI, etc.

• Add RecordVideo wrapper, deprecate monitor wrapper in favor of it and RecordEpisodeStatistics wrapper (@vwxyzjn)
• Dependencies used outside of environments (e.g. for wrappers) are now in gym[other] (@jkterry1)
