 * Upgraded to plotly.js v1.38.2. A _huge_ amount of features and improvements have been made since v1.29.2 (i.e., the version included in the last CRAN release of the R package - v4.7.1). Highlights include a complete re-write of `scattergl` to make it nearly feature complete with `scatter`, localization of text rendering (i.e., international translations), and two new trace types (`violin` & `table`). Read more about the v1.32.0 release [here](https://codeburst.io/notes-from-the-latest-plotly-js-release-b035a5b43e21) and the complete list of changes [here](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/releases).
 * Support for **sf** (simple feature) data structures was added to `plot_ly()`, `plot_mapbox()`, and `plot_geo()` (via the new `add_sf()` function). See [this blog post](https://blog.cpsievert.me/2018/03/30/visualizing-geo-spatial-data-with-sf-and-plotly) for an overview.
 * New "special arguments" `stroke`, `strokes`, `alpha_stroke`, `span`, and `spans` were added for easier control over the stroke (i.e., outline) appearance of various (filled) graphical marks. For an overview, see the **sf** blog post linked to in the bullet point above and the new package demos (list all demos with `demo(package = "plotly")`).
-* The selection (i.e., linked-brushing) mode can now switch from 'transient' to 'persistent' by holding the 'shift' key. It's still possible to _force_ persistent selection by setting `persistent = TRUE` in `highlight()`, but `persistent = FALSE` (the default) is now recommended since it allows one to switch between [persistent/transient selection](https://plotly-book.cpsievert.me/linking-views-without-shiny.html#transient-versus-persistent-selection) in the browser, rather than at the command line.
 * The new `partial_bundle()` function makes it easy to leverage [partial bundles of plotly.js](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js#partial-bundles) for reduced file sizes and faster render times.
 * The `config()` function gains a `locale` argument for easily changing localization defaults (see #1270). This makes it possible localize date axes, and in some cases, modebar buttons (see #1270)
 * One may now inform `ggplotly()` about the relevant **shiny** output size via `session$clientData`. This ensures `ggplotly()` sizing is closer to **ggplot2** sizing, even on window resize. For an example, run `plotly_example("shiny", "ggplotly_sizing")`.
 * Instead of an error, `ggplotly(NULL, "message")` and `plotly_build(NULL, "message")` now returns `htmltools::div("message")`, making it easier to relay messages in shiny when data isn't yet ready to plot (see #1116)
+* The selection (i.e., linked-brushing) mode can now switch from 'transient' to 'persistent' by holding the 'shift' key. It's still possible to _force_ persistent selection by setting `persistent = TRUE` in `highlight()`, but `persistent = FALSE` (the default) is now recommended since it allows one to switch between [persistent/transient selection](https://plotly-book.cpsievert.me/linking-views-without-shiny.html#transient-versus-persistent-selection) in the browser, rather than at the command line.
+* The `highlight()` function gains a `debounce` argument for throttling the rate at which `on` events may be fired. This is mainly useful for improving user experience when `highlight(on = "plotly_hover")` and mousing over relevant markers at a rapid rate (see #1277)
 * The `animation_button()` function gains a `label` argument, making it easier to control the label of an animation button generated through the `frame` API (see #1205).
