Review comment:
```suggestion
### Enhancements to dplyr and datasets
* Additional `lubridate` features: `week()`, more of the `is.*()` functions,
and the label argument to `month()` have been implemented.
* More complex expressions inside `summarize()`, such as `ifelse(n() > 1,
mean(y), mean(z))`, are supported.
* When adding columns in a dplyr pipeline, one can now use `tibble` and
`data.frame` to create columns of tibbles or data.frames respectively (e.g.
`... %>% mutate(df_col = tibble(a, b)) %>% ...`).
### CSV
* Delimited files (including CSVs) with encodings other than UTF can now be
read (using the `encoding` argument when reading).
* `head()` no longer hangs on large CSV datasets.
### Other improvements and fixes
* Interoperation with Python through reticulate, rpy2 or by using the C-Data
interface has been made more reliable. Backwards compatibility with older
versions of pyarrow has been maintained.
* Many of the vignettes have been reorganized, restructured and expanded to
improve their usefulness and clarity.
* The `decimal256()` type is supported. The `decimal()` function has been
revised to call either `decimal256()` or `decimal128()` based on the value of
the `precision` argument.
* Chunked arrays are now supported using ALTREP.
* Integer division in Arrow more closely matches R's behavior.
* Source builds now by default use `pkg-config` to search for system
dependencies (such as `libz`) and link to them if present. This new default
will make building Arrow from source quicker on systems that have these
dependencies installed already. To retain the previous behavior of downloading
and building all dependencies, set `ARROW_DEPENDENCY_SOURCE=BUNDLED`.
