+    - Fixed performance regression with some compound type conversions
+33
+      In-place type conversion was introduced for most use cases in 1.14.2.
+      While being able to use the read buffer for type conversion potentially
+      improves performance by performing the entire I/O at once, it also
+      disables the optimized compound type conversion used when the destination
+      is a subset of the source. Disabled in-place type conversion when using
+      this optimized conversion and there is no benefit in terms of the I/O
+      size.
