Hey here, We've just solved a teething problem with Airflow 2.8.2 pandas dependency that aa-mathias (thanks Mattthias!) reported to us (Andrey fixed it in main already by adding < 2.2 requirement for pandas).
The problem is that Pandas 2.2.1 has a problem with sqlalchemy 1.4 compatibility https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/57049 and this time our tests did not catch it - unfortunately. Luckily thanks to constraints we can address it without releasing Airflow 2.8.3. We updated constraints to point to Pandas 2.1.4. Users who install airflow with constraints (per our recommendation) will now get a good version. We also regenerated the images as `pandas` is included in our reference images. So anyone who uses reference images and constraints is fully covered. Note that If you already pulled 2.8.2 image, you should re-pull it if you use pandas. J.
