# The current checkpoint version used by RLlib for Algorithm and Policy checkpoints.
# History:
# 0.1: Ray 2.0.0
#  A single `checkpoint-[iter num]` file for Algorithm checkpoints
#  within the checkpoint directory. Policy checkpoints not supported across all
#  DL frameworks.

# 1.0: Ray >=2.1.0
#  An algorithm_state.pkl file for the state of the Algorithm (excluding
#  individual policy states).
#  One sub-dir inside the "policies" sub-dir for each policy with a
#  dedicated policy_state.pkl in it for the policy state.

# 1.1: Same as 1.0, but has a new "format" field in the rllib_checkpoint.json file

        synced to the local node.
