+
+Increased minimum versions for dependencies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Some minimum supported versions of dependencies were updated.
+If installed, we now require:
+
++-----------------+-----------------+----------+---------+
+| Package         | Minimum Version | Required | Changed |
++=================+=================+==========+=========+
+|                 |                 |    X     |    X    |
++-----------------+-----------------+----------+---------+
+
+For `optional libraries <https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/getting_started/install.html>`_ the general recommendation is to use the latest version.
+The following table lists the lowest version per library that is currently being tested throughout the development of pandas.
+Optional libraries below the lowest tested version may still work, but are not considered supported.
