+Packages support
+----------------
+
+Xorbits partitions large datasets into chunks and processes each individual 
+chunk using single-node packages (such as pandas). Currently, our latest version strives 
+to be compatible with the latest single-node packages. The table below lists the highest 
+versions of the single-node packages that Xorbits are compatible with. If you are using 
+an older version of pandas, you should either upgrade your pandas or downgrade Xorbits.
