**Here's why we have this policy:** We want to focus on the work that benefits
the whole community, e.g., fixing bugs and adding features. Individual support
should be sought on Stack Overflow or other non-GitHub channels. It helps us to

1) Add the new version to the `VERSIONS` variable inside
   `tensorflow/tools/toolchains/python/python_repo.bzl`. \
   While this isn't necessary for running the updater, it is required for
   actually using the new version with Tensorflow.

2) In the `WORKSPACE` file, add the new version to the `python_versions`

        "//tensorflow/core:protos_all_cc",
        "//tensorflow/core:test",
        "//tensorflow/core:test_main",

-   Rarely, If the tests fail at this stage, we cannot merge the code.
-   If needed, we may come to you to make some changes. At times, it may not be
    you, it may be us who may have hit a snag. Please be patient while we work
    to fix this.
-   Once the internal tests pass, we go ahead and merge the code internally as
    well as externally on GitHub.

### Compilation

Compiling models via the recommended entry points described in
[XLA](https://www.tensorflow.org/xla) and
[JAX](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax-101/02-jitting.html)
documentation should be safe, while some of the testing and debugging tools that
come with the compiler are not designed to be used with untrusted data and
should be used with caution when working with untrusted models.

### Saved graphs and checkpoints

*   `tf.cond` emits a StatelessIf op if the branch functions are stateless and
    do not touch any resources.
*   `tf.cond`, `tf.while` and `if` and `while` in AutoGraph now accept a
    nonscalar predicate if has a single element. This does not affect non-V2
    control flow.
*   `tf.while_loop` emits a StatelessWhile op if the cond and body functions are
    stateless and do not touch any resources.
