# Hugging Face hub library: 2.0 and a minor release a week

Source page: https://dev-news.anonyfox.com/huggingface/

Every huggingface_hub release since 2024 from GitHub, a week-by-week ladder of minor releases since 1.0, and what changed in 2.0's move to httpx2.

## Where it stands (2026-10-24)

huggingface_hub 2.0.0 came out on 24 September 2026, eleven months after 1.0.0 dropped requests for httpx. 2.0 swaps the HTTP stack again, from httpx to httpx2, so custom client factories and except clauses for transport errors have to use httpx2 types; code that must run on both lines can import httpx from huggingface_hub.utils, available since 1.30.0. The release also removes every API deprecated in 1.x, including upload_large_folder and the huggingface-cli entry point, now hf.

The 1.x line ended at 1.33.0, published under two hours before 2.0.0 on the same day. From 23 March a new minor shipped every week for 17 weeks, 1.8 through 1.24. 2.x has kept that pace with 2.1 on 1 October, 2.2 on 8 October and 2.3 on 22 October, which lets HfFileSystem follow Bucket changes live instead of serving stale directory listings.
