This release comes with new features and improvements for JWST PSF models, including but not limited to:

1. Improved support for NIRSpec and MIRI IFU PSF calculations, including addition of a ``mode`` attribute for toggling between imaging mode and IFU mode simulations; an option for much faster (but slightly simplified) IFU datacube PSF calculations. Spectral bandpass information added for the IFU bands for both NIRSpec and MIRI. For NIRSpec, IFU mode PSF outputs are rotated by an additional 90 degrees to match the convention used in pipeline-output s3d datacubes made using the IFUAlign orientation. This extra rotation can be optionally disabled if so desired; see the NIRSpec class docstring.
2. Improved PSF models for MIRI imager, in particular including an empirical model for the field-dependent shifts of the cruciform artifact seen at short wavelengths.

2. Improved PSF models for MIRI imager, in particular including an empirical model for the field-dependent shifts of the cruciform artifact seen at short wavelengths, and improved fidelity for modeling MIRI LRS slit PSFs.
3. For all JWST instruments, simulation of interpixel capacitance effects is now included for oversampled outputs as well as for the detector-sampled outputs.
4. Various improvements to the `setup_sim_to_match_data` function to automatically configure PSF simulations correctly for a more complete set of JWST observing modes.
5. Additional trending functions for assessing JWST wavefront error stability over time around specified science observations, and improvements to existing trending plots.

Please note, the minimum supported version of Python is increaed to Python 3.10, consistent with the minimumfor astropy.
