* Implement example mujoco_redq_hl
* Add abstraction CriticEnsembleFactory with default implementations
to suit REDQ
* Fix type annotation of linear_layer in Net, MLP, Critic
(was incompatible with REDQ usage)
Closes#947
This removes all kwargs from all policy constructors. While doing that,
I also improved several names and added a whole lot of TODOs.
## Functional changes:
1. Added possibility to pass None as `critic2` and `critic2_optim`. In
fact, the default behavior then should cover the absolute majority of
cases
2. Added a function called `clone_optimizer` as a temporary measure to
support passing `critic2_optim=None`
## Breaking changes:
1. `action_space` is no longer optional. In fact, it already was
non-optional, as there was a ValueError in BasePolicy.init. So now
several examples were fixed to reflect that
2. `reward_normalization` removed from DDPG and children. It was never
allowed to pass it as `True` there, an error would have been raised in
`compute_n_step_reward`. Now I removed it from the interface
3. renamed `critic1` and similar to `critic`, in order to have uniform
interfaces. Note that the `critic` in DDPG was optional for the sole
reason that child classes used `critic1`. I removed this optionality
(DDPG can't do anything with `critic=None`)
4. Several renamings of fields (mostly private to public, so backwards
compatible)
## Additional changes:
1. Removed type and default declaration from docstring. This kind of
duplication is really not necessary
2. Policy constructors are now only called using named arguments, not a
fragile mixture of positional and named as before
5. Minor beautifications in typing and code
6. Generally shortened docstrings and made them uniform across all
policies (hopefully)
## Comment:
With these changes, several problems in tianshou's inheritance hierarchy
become more apparent. I tried highlighting them for future work.

Closes#914
Additional changes:
- Deprecate python below 11
- Remove 3rd party and throughput tests. This simplifies install and
test pipeline
- Remove gym compatibility and shimmy
- Format with 3.11 conventions. In particular, add `zip(...,
strict=True/False)` where possible
Since the additional tests and gym were complicating the CI pipeline
(flaky and dist-dependent), it didn't make sense to work on fixing the
current tests in this PR to then just delete them in the next one. So
this PR changes the build and removes these tests at the same time.
Preparation for #914 and #920
Changes formatting to ruff and black. Remove python 3.8
## Additional Changes
- Removed flake8 dependencies
- Adjusted pre-commit. Now CI and Make use pre-commit, reducing the
duplication of linting calls
- Removed check-docstyle option (ruff is doing that)
- Merged format and lint. In CI the format-lint step fails if any
changes are done, so it fulfills the lint functionality.

- Fix the current bug discussed in #844 in `test_ppo.py`.
- Add warning for `ActorProb ` if both `max_action ` and
`unbounded=True` are used for model initializations.
- Add warning for PGpolicy and DDPGpolicy if they find duplicate usage
of action-bounded actor and action scaling method.
## implementation
I implemented HER solely as a replay buffer. It is done by temporarily
directly re-writing transitions storage (`self._meta`) during the
`sample_indices()` call. The original transitions are cached and will be
restored at the beginning of the next sampling or when other methods is
called. This will make sure that. for example, n-step return calculation
can be done without altering the policy.
There is also a problem with the original indices sampling. The sampled
indices are not guaranteed to be from different episodes. So I decided
to perform re-writing based on the episode. This guarantees that the
sampled transitions from the same episode will have the same re-written
goal. This also make the re-writing ratio calculation slightly differ
from the paper, but it won't be too different if there are many episodes
in the buffer.
In the current commit, HER replay buffer only support 'future' strategy
and online sampling. This is the best of HER in term of performance and
memory efficiency.
I also add a few more convenient replay buffers
(`HERVectorReplayBuffer`, `HERReplayBufferManager`), test env
(`MyGoalEnv`), gym wrapper (`TruncatedAsTerminated`), unit tests, and a
simple example (examples/offline/fetch_her_ddpg.py).
## verification
I have added unit tests for almost everything I have implemented.
HER replay buffer was also tested using DDPG on [`FetchReach-v3`
env](https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Gymnasium-Robotics). I used
default DDPG parameters from mujoco example and didn't tune anything
further to get this good result! (train script:
examples/offline/fetch_her_ddpg.py).
This PR implements BCQPolicy, which could be used to train an offline agent in the environment of continuous action space. An experimental result 'halfcheetah-expert-v1' is provided, which is a d4rl environment (for Offline Reinforcement Learning).
Example usage is in the examples/offline/offline_bcq.py.
Change the behavior of to_numpy and to_torch: from now on, dict is automatically converted to Batch and list is automatically converted to np.ndarray (if an error occurs, raise the exception instead of converting each element in the list).
This is the first commit of 6 commits mentioned in #274, which features
1. Refactor of `Class Net` to support any form of MLP.
2. Enable type check in utils.network.
3. Relative change in docs/test/examples.
4. Move atari-related network to examples/atari/atari_network.py

Cherry-pick from #200
- update the function signature
- format code-style
- move _compile into separate functions
- fix a bug in to_torch and to_numpy (Batch)
- remove None in action_range
In short, the code-format only contains function-signature style and `'` -> `"`. (pick up from [black](https://github.com/psf/black))
1. add policy.eval() in all test scripts' "watch performance"
2. remove dict return support for collector preprocess_fn
3. add `__contains__` and `pop` in batch: `key in batch`, `batch.pop(key, deft)`
4. exact n_episode for a list of n_episode limitation and save fake data in cache_buffer when self.buffer is None (#184)
5. fix tensorboard logging: h-axis stands for env step instead of gradient step; add test results into tensorboard
6. add test_returns (both GAE and nstep)
7. change the type-checking order in batch.py and converter.py in order to meet the most often case first
8. fix shape inconsistency for torch.Tensor in replay buffer
9. remove `**kwargs` in ReplayBuffer
10. remove default value in batch.split() and add merge_last argument (#185)
11. improve nstep efficiency
12. add max_batchsize in onpolicy algorithms
13. potential bugfix for subproc.wait
14. fix RecurrentActorProb
15. improve the code-coverage (from 90% to 95%) and remove the dead code
16. fix some incorrect type annotation
The above improvement also increases the training FPS: on my computer, the previous version is only ~1800 FPS and after that, it can reach ~2050 (faster than v0.2.4.post1).
* remove dummy net; delete two files
* split code to have backbone and head
* rename class
* change torch.float to torch.float32
* use flatten(1) instead of view(batch, -1)
* remove dummy net in docs
* bugfix for rnn
* fix cuda error
* minor fix of docs
* do not change the example code in dqn tutorial, since it is for demonstration
