GeoPandas 1.0.0

GeoPandas 1.0.0 is an open-source project aimed at simplifying geospatial data manipulation in Python. It extends pandas' datatypes to enable spatial operations on geometric types using shapely. By leveraging pandas and shapely, GeoPandas offers a high-level interface for working with various geometries. This tool eliminates the need for a spatial database like PostGIS, allowing users to perform geospatial operations efficiently within Python. Supported by an open governance model and financially sponsored by NumFOCUS, GeoPandas encourages contributions to sustain developer efforts, professional services, and project-related expenses. The project provides binary installers on PyPI, hosts its source code on GitHub, and offers support for inquiries and ideas. GeoPandas serves as a valuable resource for individuals working with geospatial data, offering a seamless integration of spatial functionalities into Python workflows.

Did they fix the problem with the explore method and certain dtypes like date times?

Quickly plotting your data frame in an interactive leaflet is super nice, just sucks when you have to remember to de-select columns before hand
