//- 💫 DOCS > USAGE > WHAT'S NEW IN V2.0
include ../../_includes/_mixins
p
| We're very excited to finally introduce spaCy v2.0! On this page, you'll
| find a summary of the new features, information on the backwards
| incompatibilities, including a handy overview of what's been renamed or
| deprecated. To help you make the most of v2.0, we also
| #[strong re-wrote almost all of the usage guides and API docs], and added
| more real-world examples. If you're new to spaCy, or just want to brush
| up on some NLP basics and the details of the library, check out
| the #[+a("/docs/usage/spacy-101") spaCy 101 guide] that explains the most
| important concepts with examples and illustrations.
+h(2, "summary") Summary
+grid.o-no-block
+grid-col("half")
p This release features
| entirely new #[strong deep learning-powered models] for spaCy's tagger,
| parser and entity recognizer. The new models are #[strong 20x smaller]
| than the linear models that have powered spaCy until now: from 300 MB to
| only 15 MB.
p
| We've also made several usability improvements that are
| particularly helpful for #[strong production deployments]. spaCy
| v2 now fully supports the Pickle protocol, making it easy to use
| spaCy with #[+a("https://spark.apache.org/") Apache Spark]. The
| string-to-integer mapping is #[strong no longer stateful], making
| it easy to reconcile annotations made in different processes.
| Models are smaller and use less memory, and the APIs for serialization
| are now much more consistent.

p
| The main usability improvements you'll notice in spaCy v2.0 are around
| #[strong defining, training and loading your own models] and components.
| The new neural network models make it much easier to train a model from
| scratch, or update an existing model with a few examples. In v1.x, the
| statistical models depended on the state of the #[code Vocab]. If you
| taught the model a new word, you would have to save and load a lot of
| data — otherwise the model wouldn't correctly recall the features of your
| new example. That's no longer the case.
p
| Due to some clever use of hashing, the statistical models
| #[strong never change size], even as they learn new vocabulary items.
| The whole pipeline is also now fully differentiable. Even if you don't
| have explicitly annotated data, you can update spaCy using all the
| #[strong latest deep learning tricks] like adversarial training, noise
| contrastive estimation or reinforcement learning.
+h(2, "features") New features
p
| This section contains an overview of the most important
| #[strong new features and improvements]. The #[+a("/docs/api") API docs]
| include additional deprecation notes. New methods and functions that
| were introduced in this version are marked with a #[+tag-new(2)] tag.
+h(3, "features-pipelines") Improved processing pipelines
+aside-code("Example").
# Modify an existing pipeline
nlp = spacy.load('en')
nlp.pipeline.append(my_component)
# Register a factory to create a component
spacy.set_factory('my_factory', my_factory)
nlp = Language(pipeline=['my_factory', mycomponent])
p
| It's now much easier to #[strong customise the pipeline] with your own
| components, functions that receive a #[code Doc] object, modify and
| return it. If your component is stateful, you can define and register a
| factory which receives the shared #[code Vocab] object and returns a
|  component. spaCy's default components can be added to your pipeline by
| using their string IDs. This way, you won't have to worry about finding
| and implementing them – simply add #[code "tagger"] to the pipeline,
| and spaCy will know what to do.

| in spaCy v1.x, hash values will #[strong always match] – even across

| languages to contain more custom data, e.g. lemmatizer lookup tables, or
| complex regular expressions. The language data has also been tidied up
| and simplified. spaCy now also supports simple lookup-based lemmatization.

| Patterns can now be added to the matcher by calling

+h(2, "migrating") Migrating from spaCy 1.x
p
| Because we'e made so many architectural changes to the library, we've
| tried to #[strong keep breaking changes to a minimum]. A lot of projects
| follow the philosophy that if you're going to break anything, you may as
| well break everything. We think migration is easier if there's a logic to
| what has changed.
p
| We've therefore followed a policy of avoiding breaking changes to the
| #[code Doc], #[code Span] and #[code Token] objects. This way, you can
| focus on only migrating the code that does training, loading and
| serialization — in other words, code that works with the #[code nlp]
| object directly. Code that uses the annotations should continue to work.
