@@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](http://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
 - Added support for IterableDataset in validation and testing ([#1104](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/1104))
 - Added support for non-primitive types in hparams for TensorboardLogger ([#1130](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/1130))
 - Added a check that stops the training when loss or weights contain NaN or inf values. ([#1097](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/1097))
+- Updated references to self.forward() to instead use the `__call__` interface. ([#1211](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/1211))
