1.0.0RC2

1.0.0RC2, 2017-02-16

Deprecated methods:

In order to share word vector querying code between different training algos(Word2Vec, Fastext, WordRank, VarEmbed) we have separated storage and querying of word vectors into a separate class KeyedVectors.

Two methods and several attributes in word2vec class have been deprecated. The methods are load_word2vec_format and save_word2vec_format. The attributes are syn0norm, syn0, vocab, index2word . They have been moved to KeyedVectors class.

After upgrading to this release you might get exceptions about deprecated methods or missing attributes.

DeprecationWarning: Deprecated. Use model.wv.save_word2vec_format instead.
AttributeError: 'Word2Vec' object has no attribute 'vocab'

To remove the exceptions, you should use
KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format instead of  Word2Vec.load_word2vec_format
word2vec_model.wv.save_word2vec_format instead of  word2vec_model.save_word2vec_format
model.wv.syn0norm instead of  model.syn0norm
model.wv.syn0 instead of  model.syn0
model.wv.vocab instead of model.vocab
model.wv.index2word instead of  model.index2word
