## Datasets

* Dataset reading benefits from many speedups and fixes in the C++ library
* Datasets have a `dim()` method, which sums rows across all files (#6635, @boshek)
* Datasets have a `dim()` method, which sums rows across all files (ARROW-8118, @boshek)
* Combine multiple datasets into a single queryable `UnionDataset` with the `c()` method
* Dataset filtering now treats `NA` as `FALSE`, consistent with `dplyr::filter()`
* Dataset filtering is now correctly supported for all Arrow date/time/timestamp column types

* `install_arrow()` now installs the latest release of `arrow`, including Linux dependencies, either for CRAN releases or for development builds (if `nightly = TRUE`)
* Package installation on Linux no longer downloads C++ dependencies unless the `LIBARROW_DOWNLOAD` or `NOT_CRAN` environment variable is set
* `write_feather()`, `write_arrow()` and `write_parquet()` now return their input,
similar to the `write_*` functions in the `readr` package (#6387, @boshek)

## Other fixes and improvements

* Arrow null type is now supported
* Factor types are now preserved in round trip through Parquet format (#6135, @yutannihilation)
* Factor types are now preserved in round trip through Parquet format (ARROW-7045, @yutannihilation)
* Reading an Arrow dictionary type coerces dictionary values to `character` (as R `factor` levels are required to be) instead of raising an error
* Many improvements to Parquet function documentation (@karldw, @khughitt)
