**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/NREL/floris/compare/v4.2.1...v4.2.2

Patch release for FLORIS v4.2. Includes various bug fixes (for wind rose plot, unnecessary warnings, and documentation building) as well as code development improvements (uniform testing across all supported python versions as well moving package requirements to pyproject.toml).

FLORIS v4.2 will be the last minor FLORIS version to support python version 3.8, which is at end-of-life.
