Release Candidate 0.9

[pvelesko]

@franz I followed your release checklist:

Created a commit bumping the version to 1.0-pre and merged into main.
Pulled main, git checkout HEAD~1 followed by git checkout -b Release-0.9 and made this PR the purpose of which is to include any last changes necessary for a stable release while the main branch is now pointing to 1.0-pre

Let me know if this looks good
