**Improvements**
- Minor documentation improvements
- Added support for Polars data frames conversion
- Introduced new methods: ``to_pl_df()`` and ``to_polars_dataframe()``
- Renamed Pandas data frame conversion methods for clarity and consistency
- ``to_df()`` → ``to_pd_df()`` (old method deprecated)
- ``to_dataframe()`` → ``to_pandas_dataframe()`` (old method deprecated)
**Bugfixes**
- Instances from ``eq.instances.list()`` previously had their ``issued`` time
parsed in the UTC timezone. This has been fixed to be parsed in the curve's
``instance_issued_timezone`` if a curve *object* is provided to the method,
otherwise (curve *name*) it will be parsed as a datetime with offset.
