A micro release from maint-2.0 could help resolve upstream GEOS 3.12 changes, e.g., see conda-forge/shapely-feedstock#125
However, I suggest the binary wheels stick to GEOS 3.11.x. I'll create a PR to bump the release to use GEOS 3.11.2. (not needed, it already is set to 3.11.2).
Here are the other pending changes: 2.0.1...maint-2.0
