v3.4.0

This release contains several important bug fixes and dependency updates.

Python 3.9 support is dropped ahead of the upcoming 3.13 release. Python 3.13 support will be added once all the core upstream dependencies support 3.13.

A bug in the CompoundGeometry offset dilation algorithm was fixed by @connorferster, a live stream of this fix can be watched here.

Most importantly a critical bug in the plastic moment calculation was found and fixed, see issue #460. Note that this bug affected plastic moment calculations for composite sections only, the plastic centroid calculation and geometric-only analyses were unaffected.
