Notes on dependencies:

• GeoPandas 1.1 now requires Python 3.10 or greater and pandas 2.0, numpy 1.24, pyproj 3.5,
  are now the minimum required version for these dependencies.
  Furthermore, the minimum tested version for optional dependencies has been updated to
  fiona 1.8.21, scipy 1.9, matplotlib 3.7, mapclassify 2.5, folium 0.12 and
  SQLAlchemy 2.0. Older versions of these libraries may continue to work, but are no longer
  considered supported (#3371).

New features and improvements:

• Added options to return the result ofSpatialIndex.query in a form of a dense or a
  sparse boolean array. This adds optional dependency onscipy for the sparse output.
  Note that this also changes the previously undocumented behaviour of theoutput_format
  keyword (#1674).
• Addgrid_size parameter tounion_all anddissolve (#3445).
• GeoDataFrame.plot now supportspd.Index as an input for thecolumn keyword (#3463).
• Addeddisjoint_subset union algorithm forunion_all anddissolve (#3534).
• Addedconstrained_delaunay_triangles method to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#3552).
• Addedto_pandas_kwargs argument tofrom_arrow,read_parquet andread_feather
  to allow better control of conversion of non-geometric Arrow data to DataFrames (#3466).
• Addedis_valid_coverage andinvalid_coverage_edges to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame to
  allow validation of polygonal coverage (#3545).
• Addedmaximum_inscribed_circle method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#3544).
• Addedminimum_clearance_line method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#3543).
• Addedorient_polygons method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#3559).
• Addedmethod andkeep_collapsed argument tomake_valid (#3548).
• Addedsimplify_coverage method for topological simplification of polygonal coverages
  to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#3541).
• Added initial support of M coordinates (m andhas_m properties,include_m inget_coordinates) (#3561).
• Addedgeom_equals_identical method exposingequals_identical from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#3560).
• GeoPandas now attempts to use a range request when reading from an URL even if the header
  does not directly indicate its support (#3572).
• Addedgeopandas.accessors module. Import this module to register a
  pandas.Series.geo accessor, which exposes GeoSeries methods via pandas's
  extension mechanism (#3272).
• Improve performance ofoverlay withhow=identity (#3504).
• A warning message is raised inread_file when a GeoDataFrame or GeoSeries mask
  and/or the source dataset is missing a defined CRS. (#3464)
• GeoDataFrame no longer hard-codes the class internally, allowing easier subclassing (#3505).

Bug fixes:

• Fix an issue that showed numpy dtypes in bbox into_geo_dict and__geo_interface__. (#3436)
• Fix an issue insample_points that could occasionally result in non-uniform distribution (#3470).
• Fix unspecified layer warning being emitted while reading multilayer datasets, even
  when layer is specified when using the mask or bbox keywords (#3378).
• Properly support named aggregations over a geometry column inGroupBy.agg (#3368).
• Support GeoDataFrame constructor receiving arguments togeometry which are not
  (Geo)Series, but instead should be interpreted as column names, like Enums (#3384).
• Fix regression where constructing a GeoSeries from a pd.Series with GeometryDtype values
  failed whencrs was provided (#3383).
• Fix regression whereoverlay withkeep_geom_type returns wrong results if the
  input contains invalid geometries (#3395).
• Fix the dtype of the GeometryArray backing data being incorrect for zero length
  GeoDataFrames causing errors inoverlay (#3424).
• Fix regression where constructing a GeoSeries from a pd.Series with GeometryDtype values
  failed whencrs was provided (#3383).
• Fix plotting of polygons with holes by normalizing the coordinate order prior to plotting (#3483).
• Fix an issue in plotting when polygon patches were not closed (#3576).
• Fix ambiguous error when GeoDataFrame is initialised with a column called "crs" (#3502).
• Avoid change of the plot aspect when plotting missing values (#3438).

Deprecations and compatibility notes:

• TheGeoSeries.select method wrapping the pandasSeries.select method has been removed.
  The upstream method no longer exists in all supported version of pandas (#3394).
• The deprecatedgeom_almost_equals method has been removed. Use
  geom_equals_exact instead (#3522).

Full Changelog:v1.0.0...v1.0.1

Notes on dependencies:

• GeoPandas 1.0 drops support for shapely<2 and PyGEOS. The only geometry engine that is
  currently supported is shapely >= 2. As a consequence, spatial indexing based on the

• Addeddwithin method to check for a "distance within" predicate on
  GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#3153).
• Addedto_geo_dict method to generate GeoJSON-like dictionary from a GeoDataFrame (#3132).
• Addedpolygonize method exposing bothpolygonize andpolygonize_full from
  shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2963).

• Addedto_arrow method andfrom_arrow class method to
  GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame to export and import to/from Arrow data with GeoArrow
  extension types (#3219,#3301).

New features and improvements:

• Addedpredicate="dwithin" option anddistance argument to thesindex.query() method
  andsjoin (#2882).
• GeoSeries and GeoDataFrame__repr__ now trims trailing zeros for a more readable
  output (#3087).
• Addon_invalid parameter tofrom_wkt andfrom_wkb (#3110).
• make_valid option inoverlay now uses themake_valid method instead of
  buffer(0) (#3113).
• Passing"geometry" asdtype topd.read_csv will now return a GeoSeries for
  the specified columns (#3101).
• Added support toread_file for themask keyword for the pyogrio engine (#3062).
• Added support toread_file for thecolumns keyword for the fiona engine (#3133).
• Added support toto_parquet andread_parquet for writing and reading files
  using the GeoArrow-based native geometry encoding of GeoParquet 1.1 (#3253,#3275).
• Addsort keyword toclip method for GeoSeries and GeoDataFrame to allow optional
  preservation of the original order of observations (#3233).
• Addedshow_bbox,drop_id andto_wgs84 arguments to allow further customization of
  GeoSeries.to_json (#3226).
• explore now supportsGeoDataFrames with additional columns containing datetimes, uuids and
  other non JSON serializable objects (#3261).
• TheGeoSeries.fillna method now supports thelimit keyword (#3290).
• Addedon_attribute option argument to thesjoin()
  method, allowing to restrict joins to the observations with
  matching attributes. (#3231)
• Added support forbbox covering encoding in geoparquet. Can filter reading of parquet
  files based on a bounding box, and write out a bounding box column to parquet files (#3282).
• align keyword in binary methods now defaults toNone, treated as True. Explicit True
  will silence the warning about mismatched indices (#3212).
• GeoSeries.set_crs can now be used to remove CRS information by passing
  crs=None, allow_override=True (#3316).
• Addedautolim keyword argument toGeoSeries.plot() andGeoDataFrame.plot() (#2817).
• Addedmetadata parameter toGeoDataFrame.to_file (#2850)
• Updated documentation to clarify that passing a named (Geo)Series as thegeometry
  argument to the GeoDataFrame constructor will not use the name but will always
  produce a GeoDataFrame with an active geometry column named "geometry" (#3337).
• read_postgis will query the spatial_ref_sys table to determine the CRS authority
  instead of its current behaviour of assuming EPSG. In the event the spiatal_ref_sys
  table is not present, or the SRID is not present,read_postgis will fallback
  on assuming EPSG CRS authority. (#3329)

Backwards incompatible API changes:

• Thesjoin method will now preserve the name of the index of the right
  GeoDataFrame, if it has one, instead of always using"index_right" as the
  name for the resulting column in the return value (#846,#2144).
• GeoPandas now raises a ValueError when an unaligned Series is passed as a method
  argument to avoid confusion of whether the automatic alignment happens or not (#3271).
• The deprecated default value of GeoDataFrame/ GeoSeriesexplode(.., index_parts=True) is now
  set to false for consistency with pandas (#3174).
• The behaviour ofset_geometry has been changed when passed a (Geo)Seriesser with a name.
  The new active geometry column name in this case will beser.name, if not None, rather than
  the previous active geometry column name. This means that if the new and old names are
  different, then both columns will be preserved in the GeoDataFrame. To replicate the previous
  behaviour, you can instead callgdf.set_geometry(ser.rename(gdf.active_geometry_name)) (#3237).
  Note that this behaviour change does not affect theGeoDataframe constructor, passing a named
  GeoSeriesser toGeoDataFrame(df, geometry=ser) will always produce a GeoDataFrame with a
  geometry column named "geometry" to preserve backwards compatibility. If you would like to
  instead propagate the name ofser when constructing a GeoDataFrame, you can instead call
  df.set_geometry(ser) orGeoDataFrame(df, geometry=ser).rename_geometry(ser.name) (#3337).
• delaunay_triangles now considers all geometries together when creating the Delaunay triangulation
  instead of performing the operation element-wise. If you want to generate Delaunay
  triangles for each geometry separately, useshapely.delaunay_triangles instead. (#3273)
• Reading a data source that does not have a geometry field usingread_file
  now returns a Pandas DataFrame instead of a GeoDataFrame with an empty
  geometry column.

Enforced deprecations:

• The deprecation ofgeopandas.datasets has been enforced and the module has been
  removed. New sample datasets are now available in the
  geodatasets package (#3084).
• Many longstanding deprecated functions, methods and properties have been removed (#3174), (#3190)
  • Removed deprecated functions
    geopandas.io.read_file,geopandas.io.to_file andgeopandas.io.sql.read_postgis.
    geopandas.read_file,geopandas.read_postgis and the GeoDataFrame/GeoSeriesto_file(..)
    method should be used instead.
  • Removed deprecatedGeometryArray.data property,np.asarray(..) or theto_numpy()
    method should be used instead.
  • Removed deprecatedsindex.query_bulk method, usingsindex.query instead.
  • Removed deprecatedsjoin parameterop,predicate should be supplied instead.
  • Removed deprecated GeoSeries/ GeoDataFrame methods__xor__,__or__,__and__ and
    __sub__. Instead use methodssymmetric_difference,union,intersection and
    difference respectively.
  • Removed deprecated plotting functionsplot_polygon_collection,
    plot_linestring_collection andplot_point_collection, use the GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame.plot
    method directly instead.
  • Removed deprecated GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame.plot parametersaxes andcolormap, instead use
    ax andcmap respectively.
  • Removed compatibility for specifying theversion keyword into_parquet andto_feather.
    This keyword will now be passed through to pyarrow and useschema_version to specify the GeoParquet specification version (#3334).

New deprecations:

• unary_union attribute is now deprecated and replaced by theunion_all() method (#3007) allowing
  opting for a faster union algorithm for coverages (#3151).

• Theinclude_fields andignore_fields keywords inread_file() are deprecated
  for the default pyogrio engine. Currently those are translated to thecolumns keyword
  for backwards compatibility, but you should directly use thecolumns keyword instead
  to select which columns to read (#3133).

• Thedrop keyword inset_geometry has been deprecated, and in future thedrop=True
  behaviour will be removed (#3237). To prepare for this change, you should remove any explicit
  drop=False calls in your code (the default behaviour already is the same asdrop=False).
  To replicate the previousdrop=True behaviour you should replace
  gdf.set_geometry(new_geo_col, drop=True) with

  geo_col_name=gdf.active_geometry_namegdf.set_geometry(new_geo_col).drop(columns=geo_col_name).rename_geometry(geo_col_name)

  geometry column (#2933).
• Fix bug inGeoDataFrame constructor where ifgeometry is given a named
  GeoSeries the name was not used as the active geometry column name (#3237).

Deprecations and compatibility notes:

• The deprecation ofgeopandas.datasets has been enforced and the module has been
  removed. New sample datasets are now available in the
  geodatasets package (#3084).

• Many longstanding deprecated functions, methods and properties have been removed (#3174), (#3189)

  • Removed deprecated functions
    geopandas.io.read_file,geopandas.io.to_file andgeopandas.io.sql.read_postgis.
    geopandas.read_file,geopandas.read_postgis and the GeoDataFrame/GeoSeriesto_file(..)
    method should be used instead.
  • Removed deprecatedGeometryArray.data property,np.asarray(..) or theto_numpy()
    method should be used instead.
  • Removed deprecatedsindex.query_bulk method, usingsindex.query instead.
  • Removed deprecatedsjoin parameterop,predicate should be supplied instead.
  • Removed deprecated GeoSeries/ GeoDataFrame methods__xor__,__or__,__and__ and
    __sub__. Instead use methodssymmetric_difference,union,intersection and
    difference respectively.
  • Removed deprecated plotting functionsplot_polygon_collection,
    plot_linestring_collection andplot_point_collection, use the GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame.plot
    method directly instead.
  • Removed deprecated GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame.plot parametersaxes andcolormap, instead use
    ax andcmap respectively.

• Fixes for compatibility with psycopg (#3167).

• Theinclude_fields andignore_fields keywords inread_file() are deprecated
  for the default pyogrio engine. Currently those are translated to thecolumns keyword
  for backwards compatibility, but you should directly use thecolumns keyword instead
  to select which columns to read (#3133).

• Thedrop keyword inset_geometry has been deprecated, and in future thedrop=True
  behaviour will be removed (#3237). To prepare for this change, you should remove any explicit
  drop=False calls in your code (the default behaviour already is the same asdrop=False).
  To replicate the previousdrop=True behaviour you should replace
  gdf.set_geometry(new_geo_col, drop=True) with

  geo_col_name=gdf.active_geometry_namegdf.set_geometry(new_geo_col).drop(columns=geo_col_name).rename_geometry(geo_col_name)

Small bug-fix release:

• Several fixes for compatibility with the latest pandas 2.2 release.
• Fix bug inpandas.concat CRS consistency checking where CRS differing by WKT whitespace only were treated as incompatible (#3023).

Small bug-fix release:

• Fix regression inoverlay where usingbuffer(0) instead ofmake_valid internally produced invalid results (#3074).
• Fixexplore() method when the active geometry contains missing and empty geometries (#3094).

Small bug-fix release updating the GeoParquet spec version and with a critical security fix:

• The Parquet and Feather IO functions now support the latest 1.0.0 version
  of the GeoParquet specification (geoparquet.org) (#2663).
• Fixread_parquet andread_feather forCVE-2023-47248 (#3070).
