[GH-33243](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/33243) the serialization
module in PyArrow was also removed
[GH-29705](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/29705). IPC (Inter-Process
Communication) functionality of pyarrow or the standard library pickle should
be used instead.
* Deprecated `use_async` has now been removed from the dataset module
[GH-30774](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/30774)
* Minimum Cython version to build PyArrow from source has been raised to
0.29.31 [GH-34933](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34933)
New features:
* FixedShapeTensorType binding has been implemented
[GH-34882](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34882) and
[GH-34956](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34956)
* Run-End Encoded arrays binding has been implemented
[GH-34686](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34686) together with
RunEndEncodedScalar values binding
[GH-34568](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34568)
* Method `is_nan` has been added to Array, ChunkedArray and Expression
[GH-34154](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34154)
* `pyarrow.acero` module initial binding has been implemented
[GH-33976](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/33976)
* Dataframe interchange protocol has been implemented for RecordBatch
[GH-33926](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/33926)
Other improvements:
* Extension arrays can now be concatenated
[GH-31868](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/31868)
* `get_partition_keys` helper function is implemented in the `dataset`
module to access the partitioning field's key/value from the partition
expression of a certain dataset fragment
[GH-33825](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/33825)
* PyArrow can now be compiled using Cython 3
[GH-34564](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34564)
* [Arrow Archery
tool](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/developers/continuous_integration/archery.html)
now includes linting of the Cython files
[GH-31905](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/31905)
* Array objects can now be accepted by the `pa.array()` constructor
[GH-34411](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34411)
* The default row group size when writing parquet files has been changed
[GH-34280](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34280)
* RecordBatch has the `select()` method implemented
[GH-34359](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34359)
* New method `drop_column` on the `pyarrow.Table` supports passing a single
column as a string [GH-33377](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/33377)
* User-defined tabular functions, which are a user-functions implemented in
Python that return a stateful stream of tabular data, are now also supported
[GH-32916](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/32916)
Relevant bug fixes:
* Acero can now detect and raise an error in case a join operation needs too
much bytes of key data [GH-34474](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34474)
* Fix for converting non-sequence object in `pa.array()`
[GH-34944](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34944)
* Fix erroneous table conversion to pandas if table includes an extension
array that does not implement `to_pandas_dtype`
[GH-34906](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34906)
* Reading from a closed `ArrayStreamBatchReader` now returns invalid status
instead of segfaulting https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34165
* `array()` now returns `pyarrow.Array` and not `pyarrow.ChunkedArray` for
columns with `__arrow_array__` method and only one chunk so that the conversion
of pandas dataframe with categorical column of dtype `string[pyarrow]` does not
fail [GH-33727]https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/33727)
* Custom type mapper in `to_pandas` now converts index dtypes together with
column dtypes [GH-34283](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34283)
