INFO: Please pin your numpy < 2 if installing pandas via pip

[lithomas1]

numpy 2.0 is the next major release of numpy (scheduled to come out sometime in December), and as such contains several breaking API changes.

Because of this, as of right now, there is NO released pandas version compatible with numpy 2.0.

We are currently aiming to be compatible with the release of pandas 2.2 (the next minor version) for pandas, however this is not guaranteed (we are still working through a couple of issues).

So, to avoid issues when installing pandas with pip, you should pin numpy < 2.

Note: This does not affect conda users, as conda has a special mechanism to retroactively pin numpy on older released pandas versions.

This shouldn't be necessary anymore.

The next release of pandas (pandas 2.2.0) will be compatible with numpy 2.
We are currently targeting January-ish for the release.
(unless major problems crop up, we will release before numpy 2.0)

Ugh, it looks like the numpy 2.0 rc is delayed until February, so we won't be able to have numpy 2.0 compat until pandas 2.2.1.
