We need to pin numpy to the latest supported version (1.26.4)
Usually we pin also Shapely, until compatibility with new version is confirmed. 
Dependencies of requests (certifi, charset-normalizer, 
idna and urllib3) are managed automatically by pip install

Rasterio simplifies Python dependency management. 
GDAL executables are still needed for GeoTIFF creation.
A more reliable source of 1'' elevation data for Europe is now available from: https://sonny.4lima.de

While the 3'' data from Viewfinderpanoramas is well-tested and robust, the 1'' data for Europe contains numerous gaps and artifacts.
Better fix for: 
WARNING: Triangle4XP could not achieve the requested quality!
It is worth trying several values before reducing min_angle to 0, for better mesh quality
