BREAKING CHANGES:

• Support for Python 3.6 has been dropped. This is forced by incompatibilities
  discovered with the latest version of pytest and because dependencies like
  dateutil and ruamel-yaml-clib no longer support Python 3.6. Support for
  Python 3.7 is tepid. While pytest is still working with Python 3.7, other
  dependencies are no longer supporting Python 3.7; however, the extensive
  tests for yamlpath show no issues with them, so far. For now, Python 3.12
  support is pending, waiting for the dateutil library to resolve a
  DeprecationWarning regarding its use of datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp().
