Full Changelog: v0.23.0...v0.24.0

REL: v0.23

This release is compatible with Python 3.12 and Numpy 2.

Some of the major new features are:

• Updates to the Gridliner to turn it into a Matplotlib Artist (which greatly enhances performance and interactivity)
• Better support for Compound paths split across boundaries
• Addition of GSHHS Antarctica features
• Turning the Cartopy FeatureArtist into a Matplotlib Collection which enables arrays of values and styles to be used with the collection of geometries in the FeatureArtist (i.e. colormapping the features based on array values is supported)
• Updates to the shapefile readers and improved documentation across the project.

See the below list for a detail of all PRs included in this release.
