 # arrow 16.0.0.9000
 
+* 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 not true user-defined functions (UDFs); for 
those, see `register_scalar_function()`. (#41223)

Review Comment:
   If the phrasing is ambiguous here, perhaps we could update "These are not 
true user-defined functions (UDFs)" to "These are automatic translations rather 
than true user-defined functions (UDFs)"?
