These are the changes in pandas 1.4.0. See :ref:`release` for a full changelog including other versions of pandas.

These are bug fixes that might have notable behavior changes.
Some minimum supported versions of dependencies were updated. If installed, we now require:
| Package | Minimum Version | Required | Changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| X | X |
For optional libraries the general recommendation is to use the latest version. The following table lists the lowest version per library that is currently being tested throughout the development of pandas. Optional libraries below the lowest tested version may still work, but are not considered supported.
| Package | Minimum Version | Changed |
|---|---|---|
| X |
See :ref:`install.dependencies` and :ref:`install.optional_dependencies` for more.
- :meth:`Index.get_indexer_for` no longer accepts keyword arguments (other than 'target'); in the past these would be silently ignored if the index was not unique (:issue:`42310`)
- Deprecated :meth:`Index.is_type_compatible` (:issue:`42113`)
- Deprecated
methodargument in :meth:`Index.get_loc`, useindex.get_indexer([label], method=...)instead (:issue:`42269`) - Deprecated treating integer keys in :meth:`Series.__setitem__` as positional when the index is a :class:`Float64Index` not containing the key, a :class:`IntervalIndex` with no entries containing the key, or a :class:`MultiIndex` with leading :class:`Float64Index` level not containing the key (:issue:`33469`)
- Bug in :meth:`DataFrame.rank` raising
ValueErrorwithobjectcolumns andmethod="first"(:issue:`41931`) - Bug in :meth:`DataFrame.rank` treating missing values and extreme values as equal (for example
np.nanandnp.inf), causing incorrect results whenna_option="bottom"orna_option="topused (:issue:`41931`)
- Bug in :class:`UInt64Index` constructor when passing a list containing both positive integers small enough to cast to int64 and integers too large too hold in int64 (:issue:`42201`)
- Bug in indexing on a :class:`Series` or :class:`DataFrame` with a :class:`DatetimeIndex` when passing a string, the return type depended on whether the index was monotonic (:issue:`24892`)
- Bug in :meth:`MultiIndex.reindex` when passing a
levelthat corresponds to anExtensionDtypelevel (:issue:`42043`)
