@simonjayhawkins for the release date: I suppose that with git you can get the date of the release commit / tag, and then you can add that to the html...

There might be some value in having it as a separate repo? (just thinking out loud, not sure) For example, you can still make updates / fix something, even after...

> would there be less of an issue with deleting the tag and restarting to process? Although it's certainly more minor (also given it's on the release branch), but that...

Sounds good! (to be honest, I don't think https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/47101 is crucial, since the support for having pd.NA in object dtype is quite limited / buggy in general)

A potential tricky aspect might be missing values. Currently, all the variants of string data types in pandas support that (with `object` dtype you can put anything in there and...

Note that we already required a newer pyarrow version specifically for the StringDtype functionality in the past. You can see: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/c8fc47ba714f9ac181905f4d9674b4a43772e833/pandas/core/arrays/string_arrow.py#L56-L59 (that was from a time we still supported older...

@CloseChoice I started converting the suggestion at https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/47449#issuecomment-1180701954 into a PR, missing that you already opened one with a very similar fix! I hope you don't mind, but so I...

I am not sure if `eval` supports referring (or assigning) to MultiIndex columns (I also don't directly see a test in `test_eval.py` that involved MultiIndex). I tried a few things...

As long as we allow NaN in FloatArray (which we currently do, but dependent on https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/32265), it should be possible to fill your missing values with NaN, so the example...

As reference, R's `lubridate` package (modern date/times) has a `interval` object which is somewhat their equivalent of Period (they also have a `period`, but that's more like a timedelta, or...
