TensorFlow has several execution modes, with Eager-mode being the default in v2.
Eager mode lets users write imperative-style statements that can be easily
inspected and debugged and it is intended to be used during the development
phase.

## Patching guidelines

Follow these steps to patch a specific version of TensorFlow, for example, to
apply fixes to bugs or security vulnerabilities:

    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

# This flag specifies whether TensorFlow 2.0 API should be built instead
# of 1.* API. Note that TensorFlow 2.0 API is currently under development.
config_setting(
    name = "api_version_2",
    define_values = {"tf_api_version": "2"},
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

# This flag enables experimental MLIR support.
config_setting(

and
[issues tagged with `2.0`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A2.0)
on GitHub for insight into recent issues and development progress.

If you experience any snags when using TF 2.0, please let us know at the
