 * `augur.io.read_metadata`: A new optional `dtype` argument allows custom data types for all columns. Automatic type inference still happens by default, so this is not a breaking change. [#1252][] (@victorlin)
 * `augur.io.read_vcf` has been removed and usage replaced with TreeTime's function of the same name which has improved validation of the VCF file. [#1366][] (@jameshadfield)
+* export v2: Add support to specify metadata columns to export without using them as colorings. This can be done with the `metadata_columns` property in the Auspice config JSON or via the `--metadata-columns` flag in the command line. [#1384][] (@joverlee521)

 * ancestral, translate: For GFF files, we extract the genome/sequence coordinates by inspecting the sequence-region pragma, region type and/or source type. This information is now required. [#1351][] (@jameshadfield)
