pcds-4.2.0
Hello, Python 3.9!
This is an update that incorporates a jump to Python 3.9 with a host of local package updates. We do not expect this to break any code but it is worth acknowledging the new version and being aware that the Python 3.9 features are now available.

In the future we plan to stay up-to-date with the latest officially released Python versions.
