# Release 2.5.0

## Major Features and Improvements

*   Support for Python3.9 has been added.
*   `tf.data`:
    *   `tf.data` service now supports strict round-robin reads, which is useful
        for synchronous training workloads where example sizes vary. With strict
        round robin reads, users can guarantee that consumers get similar-sized
        examples in the same step.

    * If the clients for your app don't send a valid `Content-Type` header you can disable this with `strict_content_type=False`.
    * Check the new docs: [Strict Content-Type Checking](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/strict-content-type/).

### Internal
