Shapely 2.0b1

on Python PyPI

Relevant changes in behaviour compared to 2.0a1:

• Renamed the tolerance keyword to max_segment_length in the segmentize function.
• Renamed the quadsegs keyword in the top-level buffer and offset_curve functions and the resolution keyword in the Geometry class buffer and offset_curve methods all to quad_segs.
• Added use of GEOSGeom_getExtent to speed up bounds calculations for GEOS >= 3.11.
• Restored the behaviour of unary_union to return an empty GeometryCollection for an empty or all-None sequence as input (and the same for intersection_all and symmetric_difference_all).
• Fixed the Geometry objects to be weakref-able again (#1535).
• The .type attribute is deprecated, use .geom_type instead (which already existed before as well) (#1492).

Wheels for 2.0b1 published on PyPI include GEOS 3.11.0.
