main feature changes, interface changes and issues that have been fixed.

The version numbering adheres to the [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/)
scheme.

### Trademarks and Copyrights

* Arm®, Cortex®-A, Ethos™-U, Corstone™ are registered trademarks or trademarks
  of Arm® Limited (or its subsidiaries) in the U.S. and/or elsewhere.
* TensorFlow™ is a trademark of Google® LLC.

## Release 0.5.0

### Feature changes

* Add TensorFlow Lite compatibility check for Cortex-A (MLIA-433)

### Interface changes

* Remove support for CSV output (MLIA-275)
* Add "mlia-backend" command for managing backends (MLIA-649)
* Add performance for Ethos-U65-256 target profile (MLIA-618)

### Issues fixed

* Fix TOSA checker dependency (MLIA-622)
* Fix backend install for Corstone-300 on AVH/VHT (MLIA-647)
* Fix --supported-ops-report flag (MLIA-688)

### Internal changes

* Update generic inference runner to 22.08 (MLIA-671)
* Use importlib for getting package version (MLIA-670)

### Known issues

* TOSA operator compatibility might raise a few errors after "Checking operator
  compatibility". These are known errors due to some issues present in
  TensorFlow 2.9 but they don't affect the correct result of the operator
  compatibility (MLIA-722/MLIA-723). This will be fixed in a future release of

### Issues fixed

* Fix the issue that no performance information is shown for
  TensorFlow Lite files when the mode 'all_tests' is used (MLIA-552)
* Specify cache arena size in the Vela memory profiles (MLIA-316)

### Internal changes

* Merge the deprecated AIET interface for backend execution into MLIA
  (MLIA-546/551)
