Version v0.13.0

Improvements

• Support reading Time type columns by default (was already supported with use_arrow=False) (#617).
• Add list_drivers_details() function to list the available drivers with more
  detailed properties like the long driver names, whether read/append/write is
  supported by the driver, the help topic URL, etc (#656).
• Add whether append is supported in list_drivers (#559)
• Add vsi_curl_clear_cache() function to allow users to clear the local GDAL vsi cache
  associated with /vsicurl/ (and related file systems) (#605).
• Improve performance of read_dataframe (especially if a filter is used)
  and write_dataframe without Arrow (#577, #674).
• Unlock the GIL during GDAL functions that can take significant time to improve
  performance when multithreading (#572).

Bug fixes

• Fix error in write_dataframe with use_arrow=False when writing an object-type
  column with datetimes without any time zone offsets or with a mix of offsets and
  no offsets (#634).
• Fix writing non-string object columns with arrow (#630).
• Fix writing empty string category columns with arrow fails (#621).
• Fix overwriting a corrupt fileGDB directory (#600).
• Fix attribute data being incorrectly written with KML driver (#650).

Packaging

• The GDAL library included in the wheels is upgraded from 3.11.4 to 3.12.4 (#658).
• The wheels for Python 3.11+ are now distributed on PyPI as a single ABI3 wheel per platform (#660).
