What's Changed This release addresses a handful of small compatibility issues with pandas 3.0 and backports some bugfixes. Bug fixes: Improved compatibility with pandas 3.0 Copy-on-Write feature, making use of deferred copies where possible (#3298, #3711). Fix GeoSeries.sample_points not accepting list-like size when generating points using pointpaterns (#3710). Fix from_wkt/wkb to correctly handle missing values with pandas 3 (where the new str dtype is used) (#3714). Fix to_postgis to correctly handle missing values with pandas 3 (where the new str dtype is used) (#3722). Using loc to assign column values to a new row index now correctly preserves the column CRS and geometry dtype on pandas 3.1, due to an upstream bug fix (#3741, Pandas #62523) Random states in pointpats methods of sample_points can now be fixed with rng (#3737).
