geopandas 0.14.0

v0.14.0

on Python PyPI

GeoPandas will use Shapely 2.0 by default instead of PyGEOS when both Shapely >= 2.0 and
PyGEOS are installed. PyGEOS will continue to be used by default when PyGEOS is
installed alongside Shapely < 2.0. Support for PyGEOS and Shapely < 2.0 will be removed
in GeoPandas 1.0. (#2999)

API changes:

• seed keyword in sample_points is deprecated. Use rng instead. (#2913).

New methods:

• Added concave_hull method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2903).
• Added delaunay_triangles method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2907).
• Added extract_unique_points method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2915).
• Added frechet_distance() method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2929).
• Added hausdorff_distance method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2909).
• Added minimum_rotated_rectangle method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2541).
• Added offset_curve method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2902).
• Added remove_repeated_points method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2940).
• Added reverse method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2988).
• Added segmentize method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataFrame (#2910).
• Added shortest_line method from shapely to GeoSeries/GeoDataframe (#2960).

New features and improvements:

• Added exclusive parameter to sjoin_nearest method for Shapely >= 2.0 (#2877)
• The to_file() method will now automatically detect the FlatGeoBuf driver
  for files with the .fgb extension (#2958)

Bug fixes:

• Fix ambiguous error when GeoDataFrame is initialized with a column called "crs" (#2944)
• Fix a color assignment in explore when using UserDefined bins (#2923)
• Fix bug in apply with axis=1 where the given user defined function returns nested
  data in the geometry column (#2959)
• Properly infer schema for np.int32 and pd.Int32Dtype columns (#2950)
• assert_geodataframe_equal now handles GeoDataFrames with no active geometry (#2498)

Notes on (optional) dependencies:

• GeoPandas 0.14 drops support for Python 3.8 and pandas 1.3 and below (the minimum
  supported pandas version is now 1.4). Further, the minimum required versions for the
  listed dependencies have now changed to shapely 1.8.0, fiona 1.8.21, pyproj 3.3.0 and
  matplotlib 3.5.0 (#3001)

Deprecations and compatibility notes:

• geom_almost_equals() methods have been deprecated and
  geom_equals_exact() should be used instead (#2604).
