This release includes various bugfixes as well as model splitter improvements. It also adds some capabilities for the soon forthcoming MF6 surface water model. Since the latter is still under development and not yet officially available, we do not consider these to be full-fledged features yet, and so this is a patch rather than a minor FloPy release.

⚠️ Breaking changes

* `rno`, `iuzno`, `lakeno`, `wellno` attributes were standardized to `ifno` (for "feature number") &mdash; a 3.5.x patch may provide backwards-compatibility as this was released somewhat prematurely

Highlights

Python 3.12 support

While previous releases may be compatible with Python 3.12, this release adds official support. **Note:** the wheel for `pyzmq`, a core dependency of `IPython`/`jupyter`, may fail to build when installing optional dependencies via e.g. `pip install "flopy[test]"` or `pip install "flopy[optional]"`. To work with notebooks in the meantime Conda is recommended.

Pandas integration

* Promote [Pandas](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas) from optional to core dependency (note `pandas >= 2` is required)
* Reimplement MF6 internal data storage with Pandas &mdash; may provide significant speedups reading/writing MF6 input files. To fall back to the old implementation, set `use_pandas=False` on `MFSimulation.load()` or at init time.
* Support `DataFrame` for `flopy.modflow.*` package input data, e.g. `node_data` and `stress_period_data`

Deprecations

Several deprecated features are removed or turned into errors:

* `sr` property from `Mt3dms`
* `flopy.export.vtk` functions `export_model()`, `export_package()`, `export_transient()`, `export_heads()`, `export_array()`, `export_cbc()`
* `flopy.plot.plotutil` functions `centered_specific_discharge()`, `cvfd_to_patch_collection()`, `plot_cvfd()`
* `layer` kwarg in `MFTransientArray`'s `get_data()` method
* `MFSimulation` functions `get_mvr_file()`, `get_mvt_file()`, `get_gnc_file()`, `get_ims_package()`
* `nwt_11_fmt` parameter from `ModflowUzf1` initializer
* `Grid.thick` and `.saturated_thick` properties

Other changes

* `rno`, `iuzno`, `lakeno`, `wellno` standardized to `ifno` (for "feature number")

Several features are newly deprecated:

* `ra_slice()` from `flopy.utils.recarray_utils`, suggest `numpy.lib.recfunctions.repack_fields()`
* `recarray()` from `flopy.utils.recarray_utils`, suggest `numpy.core.records.fromrecords()`
* `epsg`, `proj4`, and `proj4_str` are replaced with a single `crs` parameter on MF6 `Grid` and `ModflowDis` classes and various utilities
* `branch` option for `flopy.mf6.utils.generate_classes` utility replaced with `ref`

See specific commits below for more info on suggested replacements.
