2023.08.0 (2023-08-03)

We’re pleased to announce the release of dask-image 2023.08.0!

Highlights

This version fixes bugs related to processing CuPy backed dask arrays and improves testing on GPU CI. It drops support for python 3.8 and adds pandas as a dependency. As a feature improvement, the dask-image equivalent of scipy.ndimage.label now supports arbitrary structuring elements.

For full support of all GPU functionality in dask-image we recommend using CuPy version 9.0.0 or higher.
