Category Encoders v1.2.4 Release

I’m happy to announce the release of category_encoders v1.2.4! This release includes several improvements and bug fixes to make the library more robust and easier to use.

Key updates in this version:

• Added support for pandas categorical types
• Improved handling of missing values across all encoders
• Better error messages when input validation fails
• Fixed several edge cases in the BaseN encoder
• Updated documentation with more examples
