I am trying to install TensorFlow 2.3 on macOS. I downloaded and installed Miniconda and I realized that the best I can get there is TensorFlow 2.0. As far as I know, it has been quite a while since version 2.0 was released.
Maybe someone of you here knows if there is any plan to update these conda packages, and why is it taking so long to do it?
Thank you very much for the information!
PD: I know I can still get TensorFlow 2.3 by using pip install tensorflow, but I normally prefer to use conda if I have the chance.

This is because the community of anacoda needs just longer to adapt all the packages, which are released. So when a new TF version is released, it will be first released on github, then on platforms like pip. Then the community of Anaconda has to use that release and implement it into conda. Sometimes the community of conda-forge is faster. If you want to stick with anaconda for installing packages, you might want to add conda-forge as source and get tf from there.
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install <package-name>**taken from conda-forge.org
