*   `tf.train.Checkpoint`:
    *   Now accepts a `root` argument in the initialization, which generates a
        checkpoint with a root object. This allows users to create a
        `Checkpoint` object that is compatible with Keras `model.save_weights()`
        and `model.load_weights`. The checkpoint is also compatible with the
        checkpoint saved in the `variables/` folder in the SavedModel.

This release shouldn't affect apps using FastAPI in any way. You don't even have to upgrade to this version yet. It's just a checkpoint. 🤓
