Happy new year to all! The Open3D team and many amazing community members bring to you the latest and best Open3D with many new features and bug fixes. Here are the highlights of this release:

Support for Python 3.11. (Python 3.7 is no longer officially supported.)
Support for PyTorch 2.0 and TensorFlow 2.14!

⚠️ Warning: ⚠️ Due to incompatibilities in the cxx11_abi on Linux between PyTorch and TensorFlow, official Python wheels on Linux only support PyTorch, not TensorFlow. [See #6288] for details. If you'd like to use Open3D with TensorFlow on Linux, you can build Open3D wheel from source in docker with support for Tensorflow (but not PyTorch) as:

cd docker
# Build open3d and open3d-cpu wheels for Python 3.10 with Tensorflow support
export BUILD_PYTORCH_OPS=OFF BUILD_TENSORFLOW_OPS=ON
./docker_build.sh cuda_wheel_py310
