What’s new in 2.2.2 (April 10, 2024)#

These are the changes in pandas 2.2.2. See Release notes for a full changelog including other versions of pandas.

Pandas 2.2.2 is now compatible with numpy 2.0#

Pandas 2.2.2 is the first version of pandas that is generally compatible with the upcoming numpy 2.0 release, and wheels for pandas 2.2.2 will work with both numpy 1.x and 2.x.

One major caveat is that arrays created with numpy 2.0’s new StringDtype will convert to object dtyped arrays upon Series/DataFrame creation. Full support for numpy 2.0’s StringDtype is expected to land in pandas 3.0.

As usual please report any bugs discovered to our issue tracker
