Update to the `to_dense` error for those following along: - we have made the necessary changes to q2-perc-norm, so that it works with pandas \>= 1.0 now - I was not able to publish the updated package to conda (and as I am no longer active in the field, don't have time to troubleshoot the conda build), so the installation instructions are now solely via local install rather than via conda If I am able to get help setting up the automatic publishing to Library (see post: [Should developers use GitHub Actions & Library instead of (or in addition to) manually publishing to conda?](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/should-developers-use-github-actions-library-instead-of-or-in-addition-to-manually-publishing-to-conda/27437)), then perhaps we'll be able to have a non-local install approach. If that happens, I'll update the README in the repo. As for @mckin's [other question](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/error-running-q2-perc-norm/27406/4), please create a new post in the forum if you are still encountering it and we can troubleshoot from there! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/error-running-q2-perc-norm/27406)._
