TorchVision 0.26 Release

TorchVision 0.26 is out! It is compatible with torch 2.11. It's a small release that comes with the following changes:

Breaking changes and deprecations

The video decoding and encoding utilities of TorchVision, which have been deprecate for a long time, are now removed. This includes torchvision.io.video.*, read_video, write_video, the VideoReader class, etc. Users are encouraged to switch to TorchCodec, which is faster and more stable.

The rare torchvision utilities that were still relying on video decoding (like the video datasets) have been transparently migrated to TorchCodec.

Note: the image decoders and encoders are staying in TorchVision.
