 # arrow 17.0.0
 
-* R functions that users write that use functions that Arrow supports in dataset queries now can be used in queries too. Previously, only functions that used arithmetic operators worked. For example, `time_hours <- function(mins) mins / 60` worked, but `time_hours_rounded <- function(mins) round(mins / 60)` did not; now both work. These are automatic translations rather than true user-defined functions (UDFs); for UDFs, see `register_scalar_function()`. (#41223)

+* R functions that users write that use functions that Arrow supports in dataset

 * `mutate()` expressions can now include aggregations, such as `x - mean(x)`. (#41350)
-* `summarize()` supports more complex expressions, and correctly handles cases where column names are reused in expressions. 
-* The `na_matches` argument to the `dplyr::*_join()` functions is now supported. This argument controls whether `NA` values are considered equal when joining. (#41358)
-* R metadata, stored in the Arrow schema to support round-tripping data between R and Arrow/Parquet, is now serialized and deserialized more strictly. This makes it safer to load data from files from unknown sources into R data.frames. (#41969)
-* The minimum version of the Arrow C++ library the Arrow R package can be built with has been bumped to 15.0.0 (#42241)

+## Minor improvements and fixes
+* Turn on the S3 and ZSTD features by default for macOS. (#42210)
+* Fix bindings in Math group generics. (#43162)
+* Fix a bug in our implementation of `pull` on grouped datasets, it now
+  returns the expected column. (#43172)
