Version 0.11.0.dev10

Deprecations and compatibility notes

• For all spatial overlays, sliver polygons are now removed from the output by
  default. Polygons are considered slivers if they are narrower than a certain
  tolerance. By default, the tolerance is 0.001 CRS units if the CRS of the input layers
  is a projected CRS, 1e-7 if it is a geographic CRS. More information + information how
  to change this default tolerance can be found in the documentation of
  options.set_sliver_tolerance.
• Minimum version of dependencies updated to GDAL 3.8, pyogrio 0.8, geopandas 0.13 and
  spatialite 5.1.

Improvements

• Add union_full_self operation (#764)
• Add concat function (#746, #747)
• Add join function (#751)
• Add add_columns function (#768)
• Remove polygon slivers by default for all overlay operations (#776)
• Add zip_geofile and unzip_geofile functions (#754, #743)
• Add write_mode="append_add_fields" option to copy_layer (#750)
• Add an include_duplicates parameter to union, intersection and identity (#757)
• Add support for ".gpkg.zip" and ".shp.zip" input and output files for geo operations
  (#754)
• Add support to use add_column on e.g. shapefiles (#767)
• Improve performance of clip with a complex clip layer (#740)
• Improve performance of most operations by using a direct gpkg to gpkg append via
  sqlite where possible (#728, #772)
• Improve performance of the subdividividing used in many operations (#730)
• Improve performance of dissolve (#748)
• Improve performance of two-layer operations using nb_parallel=1 (#692)
• Add support for the "pyogrio-arrow" gfo io-engine, and use it by default. This
  increases performance for reading and writing dataframes as well as for geopandas
  based operations like dissolve,... (#392)
• Alternative query for clip + default subdivide_coords to 15000 (#450)
• Improve and speed up attribute column type detection in two-layer operations (#758)
• Ensure that the featurecount is properly cached in GPKG files, also for older GDAL
  versions + small refactor (#693)
• Improve support for custom fid columns in gpkg (#771)
• Add checks on invalid values in ConfigOptions (#711)
• Add worker_type used to progress logging (#715)
• Write gdal log files to GFO_TMPDIR if specified (#727)
• Reduce memory being committed on hardware with many cores (#739, #717)

Bugs fixed

• copy_layer should give an error if src_layer is not specified for multi-layer src
  files (#745)
• Fix error when custom output_layer is specified in single layer operations (#760)
• Fix error in copy_file if dst has a suffix with multiple available drivers (#765)
