New Features:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Added ``StopTrainingOnNoModelImprovement`` to callback collection (@caburu)
- Makes the length of keys and values in ``HumanOutputFormat`` configurable,
depending on desired maximum width of output.

Bug Fixes:
^^^^^^^^^^
- Fixed a bug in ``VecMonitor``. The monitor did not consider the ``info_keywords`` during stepping (@ScheiklP)

with very long keys.)

Release 1.4.0 (2022-01-18)
---------------------------
*TRPO, ARS and multi env training for off-policy algorithms*
Breaking Changes:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Dropped python 3.6 support (as announced in previous release)
- Renamed ``mask`` argument of the ``predict()`` method to ``episode_start`` (used with RNN policies only)
- local variables ``action``, ``done`` and ``reward`` were renamed to their plural form for offpolicy algorithms (``actions``, ``dones``, ``rewards``),
this may affect custom callbacks.
- Removed ``episode_reward`` field from ``RolloutReturn()`` type
.. warning::
An update to the ``HER`` algorithm is planned to support multi-env training and remove the max episode length constrain.
(see `PR #704 <https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3/pull/704>`_)
This will be a backward incompatible change (model trained with previous version of ``HER`` won't work with the new version).
New Features:

^^^^^^^^^^
- Fixed a bug where ``set_env()`` with ``VecNormalize`` would result in an error with off-policy algorithms (thanks @cleversonahum)
- FPS calculation is now performed based on number of steps performed during last ``learn`` call, even when ``reset_num_timesteps`` is set to ``False`` (@kachayev)
- Fixed evaluation script for recurrent policies (experimental feature in SB3 contrib)
- Fixed a bug where the observation would be incorrectly detected as non-vectorized instead of throwing an error
- The env checker now properly checks and warns about potential issues for continuous action spaces when the boundaries are too small or when the dtype is not float32

- Enabled Python 3.9 in GitHub CI
- Fixed type annotations
- Refactored ``predict()`` by moving the preprocessing to ``obs_to_tensor()`` method
Documentation:

Pre-Release 0.11.0 (2021-02-27)
-------------------------------
Breaking Changes:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ``evaluate_policy`` now returns rewards/episode lengths from a ``Monitor`` wrapper if one is present,
this allows to return the unnormalized reward in the case of Atari games for instance.
- Renamed ``common.vec_env.is_wrapped`` to ``common.vec_env.is_vecenv_wrapped`` to avoid confusion
with the new ``is_wrapped()`` helper
- Renamed ``_get_data()`` to ``_get_constructor_parameters()`` for policies (this affects independent saving/loading of policies)
- Removed ``n_episodes_rollout`` and merged it with ``train_freq``, which now accepts a tuple ``(frequency, unit)``:
- ``replay_buffer`` in ``collect_rollout`` is no more optional
.. code-block:: python
# SB3 < 0.11.0
# model = SAC("MlpPolicy", env, n_episodes_rollout=1, train_freq=-1)
# SB3 >= 0.11.0:
model = SAC("MlpPolicy", env, train_freq=(1, "episode"))
New Features:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Add support for ``VecFrameStack`` to stack on first or last observation dimension, along with
automatic check for image spaces.
- ``VecFrameStack`` now has a ``channels_order`` argument to tell if observations should be stacked
on the first or last observation dimension (originally always stacked on last).
- Added ``common.env_util.is_wrapped`` and ``common.env_util.unwrap_wrapper`` functions for checking/unwrapping
an environment for specific wrapper.

with given Gym wrappers.
- Added ``monitor_kwargs`` parameter to ``make_vec_env`` and ``make_atari_env``
- Wrap the environments automatically with a ``Monitor`` wrapper when possible.

which otherwise causes downstream breaking errors in training (@decodyng)
