TensorBoard 0.1.7

This is a bug fix release for TensorFlow 1.3.x users that finalizes the naming of the new summary API and cherry-picks important improvements to the TPU Profiling plugin.

At the beginning of this release, we started rolling out a rewrite of the tf.summary API that makes all summaries tensor summaries, while also introducing protobuf helpers that can be used with FileWriter. For first-party plugins, the naming convention of this API has now been finalized (#562) and we recommend trying the following:

• from tensorboard import summary
• summary.scalar (is the new tf.summary.scalar)
• summary.scalar_pb
• summary.image (is the new tf.summary.image)
• summary.image_pb
• summary.histogram (is the new tf.summary.histogram)
• summary.histogram_pb

APIs for the Audio and Text plugins won't be available until the next minor release.
