We are happy to announce the *release candidate* of pandas 2.0.0. It can be installed from our conda-forge and PyPI packages via mamba, conda and pip, for example: mamba install -c conda-forge/label/pandas_rc pandas==2.0.0rc0 python -m pip install --upgrade --pre pandas==2.0.0rc0 Users having pandas code in production and maintainers of libraries with pandas as a dependency are *strongly* recommended to run their test suites with the release candidate, and report any breaking change to our issue tracker <https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/new/choose> before the official 2.0.0 release. You can find the documentation of pandas 2.0.0 here <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/2.0/index.html>, and the list of changes in 2.0.0, in the release notes page <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/2.0/whatsnew/v2.0.0.html>. We expect to release the final version of pandas 2.0.0 in around two weeks, but the final date will depend on the issues reported to the release candidate.
