 ### New! :sparkles:
 
-- New I/O support for reading and writing to geospatial formats:
-  - [Asynchronous FlatGeobuf reader](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.read_flatgeobuf_async). This also supports passing a spatial filter.
-  - [Initial support for reading from PostGIS](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.read_postgis). Note that not all Postgres data types are supported yet. Create an issue if your query fails.
-  - [Reading](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.read_geojson_lines) and [writing](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.write_geojson_lines) [newline-delimited GeoJSON](https://stevage.github.io/ndgeojson/).
-  - [Pyogrio integration](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.read_pyogrio) for reading from OGR/GDAL.
-  - [Asynchronous GeoParquet reader](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.read_parquet_async) for reading from remote files. By @weiji14 in https://github.com/geoarrow/geoarrow-rs/pull/493
-  - Also new support for writing GeoParquet files.
-  - Most I/O readers and writers support Python file-like objects (in binary mode).
-  - Support for [reading](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.read_ipc) and [writing](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/io/#geoarrow.rust.core.write_ipc) Arrow IPC files.
-- Better interoperability with the Python geospatial ecosystem.
-  - [Import from](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/interop/#geoarrow.rust.core.from_geopandas) and [export to](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/interop/#geoarrow.rust.core.to_geopandas) GeoPandas GeoDataFrames. Refer to the [GeoPandas interoperability documentation](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/ecosystem/geopandas/).

Refer to the [Shapely interoperability documentation](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/ecosystem/shapely/).
-  - [Better integration with Lonboard](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/ecosystem/lonboard/) for fast visualization in Jupyter.
-  - All scalars, arrays, chunked arrays, and table objects implement [`__geo_interface__`](https://gist.github.com/sgillies/2217756) for interoperability with existing tools.
-  - Numpy interoperability for float array output from algorithms. Pass any `Float64Array` or `BooleanArray` to `numpy.asarray`. You can also pass a numpy array as vectorized input into a function like [`line_interpolate_point`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.line_interpolate_point).
-- New algorithms!
-  - [Explode a Table](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.explode) where each multi-geometry expands into multiple rows of single geometries.
-  - [`total_bounds`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.total_bounds)
-  - Unified [`area` function](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.area) for planar and geodesic area.
-  - Unified [`simplify` function](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.simplify) for multiple simplification methods. Also new support for [topology-preserving simplification](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/enums/#geoarrow.rust.core.enums.SimplifyMethod.VW_Preserve).
-  - Unified [`length` function](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.length) for euclidean and geodesic length calculations.
-  - [`frechet_distance`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.frechet_distance) for LineString similarity.
-  - [`affine_transform`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.affine_transform), which integrates with the Python [`affine`](https://github.com/rasterio/affine) library.
-  - [`line_interpolate_point`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.line_interpolate_point) and [`line_locate_point`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.line_locate_point) for linear referencing.
-  - [`polylabel`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/functions/#geoarrow.rust.core.polylabel) for polygon labeling.
-- Improved display of Python objects:
-  - Scalars now display as SVG geometries inside Jupyter environments.
-  - Tables, arrays, and chunked arrays implement `__repr__` so that you can inspect data easily.
-- Improved usability:
-  - [`PointArray.from_xy`](https://geoarrow.org/geoarrow-rs/python/v0.2.0/api/core/geometry/array/#geoarrow.rust.core.PointArray.from_xy) to simplify creating a point array from numpy arrays of coordinates.
-  - Index into arrays and chunked arrays with square brackets. E.g. `point_array[0]` will access the first point in the array. Negative indexing is also supported, so `point_array[-1]` will get the last item in the array.
