The monthly changelog showcases improvements in Roboflow over the past month. You can find the previous changelog here.
In February we had a major focus on reinforcing our foundation; after several months of rapid feature expansion we spent a considerable amount of time fixing bugs, improving infrastructure, and preparing for future initiatives.
Roboflow Organize
- Added Upload Batches to keep track of which images were uploaded together.
- Released the Unannotated Queue to improve labeling workflows.
- Added an Upload Annotation API endpoint.
