Deprecation of Python 2
MXNet community [voted](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r3a2db0f22a1680cc56804191446fef2289595798ca19fd17de1ff03e%40%3Cdev.mxnet.apache.org%3E) to no longer support Python 2 in future releases of MXNet. Therefore, MXNet 1.6 release is going to be the last MXNet release to support Python 2.
New features
NumPy compatible interface and using TVM to generate operators
NumPy has long been established as the standard math library in Python, the most prevalent language for the deep learning community. With this library as the cornerstone, there are now the largest ecosystem and community for scientific computing. The popularity of NumPy comes from its flexibility and generality.
In 14253, the MXNet community reached consensus on moving towards a NumPy-compatible programing experience and committed to a major endeavor on providing NumPy compatible operators.
The primary goal of the projects below is to provide the equivalent usability and expressiveness of NumPy in MXNet to facilitate Deep Learning model development, which not only helps existing deep learning practitioners but also provides people in the existing NumPy community with a shortcut for getting started in Deep Learning. The efforts towards this goal would also help a secondary goal, which is to enable the existing NumPy ecosystem to utilize GPUs and accelerators to speed up large scale computation.

Graph optimizations
Pointwise fusion for GPU
DL models, besides compute intensive operations like convolutions and fully connected layers, feature a lot of simple pointwise (aka elementwise) operations (like elementwise addition etc.). Performance of those operations is fully memory bandwidth bound and so limit speedups from newer GPU hardware, which typically has high compute/memory bandwidth ratio. When multiple of such operations are chained one after another, it results in a series of unnecessary stores and loads as well as potential increased memory usage to store the intermediate results. Pointwise fusion helps in alleviating those problems by just-in-time generation of fused operators, which do not store intermediate results in memory, resulting in performance and memory usage improvements.
