Dear pyhf users,

We're very happy to announce that pyhf v0.6.1 is out now on PyPI and Conda-forge! This is a very small patch release, but as always please read the full release notes carefully while updating your code to use the new release. Below we list the most important points from the release notes.

* As a result of changes to the default behavior of torch.distributions in PyTorch v1.8.0, accommodating changes have been made in the underlying implementations for pyhf.tensor.pytorch_backend.pytorch_backend. These changes require a new lower bound of torch v1.8.0 for use of the PyTorch backend.

* The solver_options kwarg can be passed to the pyhf.optimize.opt_scipy.scipy_optimizer optimizer for additional configuration of the minimization. See scipy.optimize.show_options for additional options of optimization solvers.

Development work on an upcoming patch release v0.6.2 has already started, but please report back to us any questions or problems you run into with the v0.6.X API. Please don't hesitate to contact us through the recommended channels!
