 * Fixes a bug where the POSIX date conversion would not occur when using the JSON SoDA url (#85)
 * Queries now follow SoDA guidelines and are explicitly sorted. This could have caused a silent error where some row may not have downloaded. ([#15](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/15))
 
+### 1.7.2 Several changes:
+
+Performance improvements:
+
+* By default, 1000 rows at a time were being retreived for each API call while paging through data. Increased to retreive 50,000 rows for each API call. ([#129](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/129))
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* Fixed a bug which caused an error if a ```select=count()``` statement was present in a URL. ([#120](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/120))
+* Fixed a bug when data types are not found because there are no ```X-SODA2-*``` headers available in the API response. Users will now get a warning and data will be returned as ```character```. ([#118](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/118))
+* Fixed a bug which did not recognize URLs listed from ```ls.socrata()``` as valid URLs to be used in ```read.socrata()```. Users will now be able to use URLs from the former function in the latter function. ([#124](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/124))
+* Removed unit tests for older releases of R. ([#136](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/136)) 
+
+Deprecation:
+
+RSocrata's core development team has stated a formal policy to only support the most recent release of R. Until now, RSocrata was tested against the penultimate release of R; however, testing will be limited to the current version of R and the current development release. The project's [contributing guidelines](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) have been updated to reflect that accepted changes to RSocrata must pass tests on the current and penulimate versions of R.
+
+While RSocrata is only tested on the current and penultimate version, the core development team expects it will work on older versions most of the time. See [#132](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/132) for more information.
