v0.47.0

[peterstace]

2024-01-19

Special thanks to Albert Teoh for contributing to this release.

• Adds new functions RotatedMinimumAreaBoundingRectangle and RotatedMinimumWidthBoundingRectangle. These functions calculate the non-axis-aligned (rotated) bounding rectangles for geometries, minimising either the area or width.

• Eliminates some redundant benchmarks, improving the execution speed of the benchmark suite.

• Unify the GEOS wrappers used for the github.com/peterstace/simplefeatures/geos package and the package used for reference implementation tests.
