 # haven (development version)
 
-* All `write_` functions gain a `.name_repair` argument that controls
-  what happens when the input dataset has repeated column names (#436).
+## Partial reading
 
-* Can now write labelled vectors with `NULL` labels (#442).
+Thanks to the hard work of @mikmart, all `read_*()` functions gain three new arguments that allow you to read in only part of a large file:
 
-* `write_dta()` can now write dataset labels with the `label` argument, 
-  which defaults to the `label` attribute of the input data frame, if present
-  (@gorcha, #449).
+* `col_select`: selects columns to read with a tidyselect interface (#248).
+* `skip`: skips rows before reading data (#370).
+* `n_max`: limits the number of rows to read.
+
+This also brings with it a deprecation: `cols_only` in `read_sas()` has been deprecated in favour of the new `col_select` argument.
 
-* Updated to latest ReadStat from @evanmiller
-  * Fixes bug when generating files for Stata 15 (#461)
+## Minor improvements and bug fixes
 
-* Allows non-unique labels when `levels = "label"` (#424, @gergness)
+* `as_factor()` allows non-unique labels when `levels = "label"`. This fixes 
+  a particularly annoying printing bug (#424, @gergness)
 
 * `read_sas()` now supports (IS|E|B)8601(DT|DA|TM) date/time formats (@mikmart).
