New version 0.3.1, dropping support for Python < 3.8

Highlights

Users:

• Dropped support for end-of-life (EOL) Python runtimes.
• Added support for Python 3.8 and 3.11 -- the oldest security release and second-latest bugfix release, as of writing.
• Dependencies upgraded and soft-locked to the compatible/minor version.
• Licence changed from GNU GPLv3 to Apache License 2.0.

Developers:

• Most of the changes associated with upgrading Python/Pandas were in eds4jinja2, so all benefits have been derived transitively.
• Cross-platform commitment for this project remains informal due to problems with GitHub CI involving docker on Windows and Mac.

Everyone is encouraged to upgrade even if there is no API or ABI change in this release.

Note: There was an error in the version requirement metadata of the previous release 0.3.0, which is now yanked from PyPi. This release is effectively a replacement, and all references to the version 0.3.0 should be interpreted as referring to the version 0.3.1.
