# arrow 20.0.0
+## Minor improvements and fixes
+
+- Binary Arrays now inherit from `blob::blob` in addition to `arrow_binary`
when
+ [converted to R
+
objects](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/data_types.html#translations-from-arrow-to-r).
+ This change is the first step in eventually deprecating the `arrow_binary`
+ class in favor of the `blob` class in the
+ [`blob`](https://cran.r-project.org/package=blob) package (See
+ [GH-45709](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/45709)).
