Scheduled date: mid-may sometime

@lithomas1 what's the status here?

[lithomas1]

At the moment, there's nothing merged for 2.2.3, so nothing to release.

I think the original date was more of a estimated time based on the timing of previous releases.

At the meeting, there was still interest in doing a 2.2.3, though.

This was discussed at the dev meeting today, but the release is tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday, assuming we can make CI green by then.
(the goal is to get out a Python 3.13 and numpy 2.1.0 compatible release before Python 3.13 final on the 1st of October)

Issues that need fixing

whatsnew for #59144 needs to be removed
add licenses into wheels
whatsnew for Python 3.13 (incl free threading) and numpy 2.1 support

The actual updates to the wheel building infrastructure still need to be backported as well, right? (maybe #58647, but certainly #59136)

Good point.

The WASM stuff probably shouldn't be backported.

I think I have some of the changes from #59136 already, I'll do the manual backport by hand later today.

I was just trying to get the commits together for this, and opened #59835 (I won't be online for the coming three hours, so feel free to take over, but after that I can try to get it working)

Thanks Joris!

I fixed up the merge conflicts on that one so should be mergeable when green

[lithomas1]

Final PR should be #59840

I'm gonna try to make a release tomorrow then.

@pandas-dev/pandas-core
Starting release now!

EDIT: release is delayed for a couple of hours since we forgot the ARM Python 3.13 wheels.

Thanks a lot @lithomas1!
