Discussion in #585

Release v3.3.5

Release v3.3.2

Release v3.3.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix: correctly handle empty strings when parsing them in fastf1.utils.to_datetime (by @erdieee) (#531)

• Fix: gracefully handle empty strings when parsing datetime values in Ergast responses (by @mdsakalu) (#546). This fixes partially missing data in the results Qualifying and Race results for the 2024 Saudi Arabia GP.

Release v3.3.0

New Features

• Updated team names and team colors for the 2024 season. (As usual, this means
  that this information is no longer valid for the previous season! see note below)

• Improved the accuracy of fastf1.utils.delta_time (by @grahamjwhite)
  (#512)

Note: The update of the team names and team colors for the 2024 season means that you may no longer be able to visualize data from 2023 correctly. This is a long-standing issue that will most likely be resolved with the next minor release in a few months.

Release v3.2.2

Bug Fixes

• Fixed another bug that caused fastf1.core.Session.get_circuit_info
  to fail only in some cases if the default resampling frequency for
  telemetry data is changed (#455)

Release v3.2.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused timestamps of telemetry data to have (apparent)
  microseconds precision (even though this is not the case). As a result,
  merging position data and car data did not have a well matching timestamp
  index resulting in additional interpolated values. This problem only occurred
  in combination with recent versions of Pandas.

Other

• Various changes to address deprecations in Pandas.
