+
+#### teradataml 20.00.00.00
+* ##### New Features/Functionality
+    * ###### teradataml OpenML: Run Opensource packages through Teradata Vantage
+      `OpenML` dynamically exposes opensource packages through Teradata Vantage. `OpenML` provides an
+      interface object through which exposed classes and functions of opensource packages can be accessed
+      with the same syntax and arguments. 
+      The following functionality is added in the current release:
+      * `td_sklearn` - Interface object to run scikit-learn functions and classes through Teradata Vantage.
+      Example usage below:
+        ```
+        from teradataml import td_sklearn, DataFrame
+
+        df_train = DataFrame("multi_model_classification")
+
+        feature_columns = ["col1", "col2", "col3", "col4"]
+        label_columns = ["label"]
+        part_columns = ["partition_column_1", "partition_column_2"]
+
+        linear_svc = td_sklearn.LinearSVC()
+        ```
+      * `OpenML` is supported in both Teradata Vantage Enterprise and Teradata Vantage Lake.
+      * Argument Support:
+        * `Use of X and y arguments` - Scikit-learn users are familiar with using `X` and `y` as argument names
+        which take data as pandas DataFrames, numpy arrays or lists etc. However, in OpenML, we pass 
+        teradataml DataFrames for arguments `X` and `y`.
+          ```
+          df_x = df_train.select(feature_columns)
+          df_y = df_train.select(label_columns)
+
+          linear_svc = linear_svc.fit(X=df_x, y=df_y)
+          ```
+        * `Additional support for data, feature_columns, label_columns and group_columns arguments` -
+        Apart from traditional arguments, OpenML supports additional arguments - `data`,
+        `feature_columns`, `label_columns` and `group_columns`. These are used as alternatives to `X`, `y`
+        and `groups`.
+          ```
+          linear_svc = linear_svc.fit(data=df_train, feature_columns=feature_columns, label_colums=label_columns)
+          ```
+      * `Support for classification and regression metrics` - Metrics functions for classification and
+      regression in `sklearn.metrics` module are supported. Other metrics functions' support will be added
+      in future releases.
+      * `Distributed Modeling and partition_columns argument support` - Existing scikit-learn supports 
+      only single model generation. However, OpenML supports both single model use case and distributed
+      (multi) model use case. For this, user has to additionally pass `partition_columns` argument to 
+      existing `fit()`, `predict()` or any other function to be run. This will generate multiple models
+      for multiple partitions, using the data in corresponding partition.
+        ```
+        df_x_1 = df_train.select(feature_columns + part_columns)
+        linear_svc = linear_svc.fit(X=df_x_1, y=df_y, partition_columns=part_columns)      
+        ```
+      * `Support for load and deploy models` - OpenML provides additional support for saving (deploying) the
+      trained models. These models can be loaded later to perform operations like prediction, score etc. The
+      following functions are provided by OpenML:
+        * `<obj>.deploy()` - Used to deploy/save the model created and/or trained by OpenML.
+        * `td_sklearn.deploy()` - Used to deploy/save the model created and/or trained outside teradataml.
+        * `td_sklearn.load()` - Used to load the saved models.
+
+      <br>Refer Teradata Python Package User Guide for more details of this feature, arguments, usage, examples and supportability in both VantageCloud Enterprise and VantageCloud Lake.
+
+    * ###### teradataml: AutoML - Automated end to end Machine Learning flow.
+      AutoML is an approach to automate the process of building, training, and validating machine learning models. 
+      It involves automation of various aspects of the machine learning workflow, such as feature exploration, 
+      feature engineering, data preparation, model training and evaluation for given dataset.

   * ###### teradataml: Analytic Functions
     teradataml currently has different functions to generate a model, predict, transform and evaluate. All these functions are needed to be invoked individually, i.e., predict(), evaluate(), transform() cannot be invoked using the model trainer function output. Enhancement done to this feature now enables user to invoke these functions as methods of the model trainer function. Below is the list of functions, updated with this enhancement:
