@@ -17,6 +17,9 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Added Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage error (SMAPE) ([#375](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/metrics/issues/375))
 
 
+- Allowed passing labels in (n_samples, n_classes) to `AveragePrecision` ([#386](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/metrics/issues/386))

 ### Changed
 
 - Moved `psnr` and `ssim` from `functional.regression.*` to `functional.image.*` ([#382](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/metrics/pull/382))
