SedonaRegistrator Import Breaking Change: The `SedonaRegistrator` import path
has been changed in Sedona 1.8.0. The module has been moved from
`sedona.register.geo_registrator` to `sedona.spark.register.geo_registrator`.
`SedonaRegistrator` has been soft deprecated since version 1.4.1 but due to a
bug its path has now changed. The solution is to either use `SedonaContext` or
use the try/except pattern:
+
+```python
+try:
+ # Sedona 1.7
+ from sedona.register.geo_registrator import PackageImporter
+except ImportError:
+ # Sedona 1.8
+ from sedona.spark.register.geo_registrator import PackageImporter
+```
+
### New Features
#### GeoPandas Compatible API
