  containing ``NaN`` values - now also has ``dtype=object`` instead of
  ``float`` (:issue:`7242`)

Enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Tests for basic reading of public S3 buckets now exist (:issue:`7281`).
- ``read_html`` now sports an ``encoding`` argument that is passed to the
  underlying parser library. You can use this to read non-ascii encoded web
  pages (:issue:`7323`).

- Support for dateutil timezones, which can now be used in the same way as
  pytz timezones across pandas. (:issue:`4688`)
