The first 1.9 pre-release is ready for early testing. Not all of the features planned for 1.9.0 are in this release, and some of the features here may yet be modified. Please pay close attention to the deprecations and packaging changes.
The binary wheels on PyPI include GDAL 3.5.0 and PROJ 9.0.0, the latest versions of each.

Fiona 1.8.0 is on PyPI today. Congratulations to all 46 developers (see the credits) file and many thanks to everyone who took the time to report a bug or test a new feature.
Much of the motivation for this version has been provided by the GeoPandas project. Working with Joris Van den Bossche et al. on various issues has been a pleasure.
There are no known breaking changes in 1.8.0. Python warnings should be expected in several cases of class and method deprecation.
fiona.drivers()
context manager is being replaced by fiona.Env()
, which also registers format drivers and has the same properties as the GDAL configuration manager in Rasterio.fiona.open(“example.shp”)[1:10]
should be changed to list(fiona.open(“example.shp”))[1:10]
.This version has new features, including a set from the Rasterio project.
Major refactoring was required to bring new features over from Rasterio and to modernize our use of Cython. This was a huge lift, largely done by Joshua Arnott. Elliott Sales de Andrade took the lead on finishing the migration of Fiona’s tests to pytest.
