I am trying to use xgboost-dask 1.3.3 version and see that the enable_categorical feature support is not enable while making the call to xgb.dask.DaskDMatrix. I also identified changes are made to master and merged. As the release version wouldn't support this and blocks users, I wanted to understand when the release of these changes are planned?

Category data support is not in distributed training yet. As documented this parameter is experimental. See #6503 for progress.

In 1.4 (about to be released), the parameter is available in Dask DMatrix, but setting it to true will raise an error.

Thank you. Are the only supported dtypes are - int, float, bool for distributed training?

Yup. But basic support for distributed training should come soon. Stay tuned.
