Version 0.7.0

Improvements

• Support reading and writing datetimes with timezones (#253).
• Support writing dataframes without geometry column (#267).
• Calculate feature count by iterating over features if GDAL returns an
  unknown count for a data layer (e.g., OSM driver); this may have signficant
  performance impacts for some data sources that would otherwise return an
  unknown count (count is used in read_info, read, read_dataframe) (#271).
• Add arrow_to_pandas_kwargs parameter to read_dataframe + reduce memory usage
  with use_arrow=True (#273)
• In read_info, the result now also contains the total_bounds of the layer as well
  as some extra capabilities of the data source driver (#281).
• Raise error if read or read_dataframe is called with parameters to read no
  columns, geometry, or fids (#280).
• Automatically detect supported driver by extension for all available
  write drivers and addition of detect_write_driver (#270).
• Addition of mask parameter to open_arrow, read, read_dataframe,
  and read_bounds functions to select only the features in the dataset that
  intersect the mask geometry (#285). Note: GDAL < 3.8.0 returns features that
  intersect the bounding box of the mask when using the Arrow interface for
  some drivers; this has been fixed in GDAL 3.8.0.
• Removed warning when no features are read from the data source (#299).
• Add support for force_2d=True with use_arrow=True in read_dataframe (#300).

Other changes

• test suite requires Shapely >= 2.0

• using skip_features greater than the number of features available in a data
  layer now returns empty arrays for read and an empty DataFrame for
  read_dataframe instead of raising a ValueError (#282).

• enabled skip_features and max_features for read_arrow and
  read_dataframe(path, use_arrow=True). Note that this incurs overhead
  because all features up to the next batch size above max_features (or size
  of data layer) will be read prior to slicing out the requested range of
  features (#282).

• The use_arrow=True option can be enabled globally for testing using the
  PYOGRIO_USE_ARROW=1 environment variable (#296).

Bug fixes

• Fix int32 overflow when reading int64 columns (#260)
• Fix fid_as_index=True doesn't set fid as index using read_dataframe with
  use_arrow=True (#265)
• Fix errors reading OSM data due to invalid feature count and incorrect
  reading of OSM layers beyond the first layer (#271)
• Always raise an exception if there is an error when writing a data source
  (#284)

Potentially breaking changes

• In read_info (#281):
  • the features property in the result will now be -1 if calculating the
    feature count is an expensive operation for this driver. You can force it to be
    calculated using the force_feature_count parameter.
  • for boolean values in the capabilities property, the values will now be
    booleans instead of 1 or 0.

Packaging

• The GDAL library included in the wheels is updated from 3.6.4 to GDAL 3.7.2.
