+We're stoked to announce the release of [bigrquery](http://bigrquery.r-dbi.org/) 1.4.2.
+bigrquery makes it easy to work with data stored in [Google BigQuery](https://developers.google.com/bigquery/), a hosted database for big data.
+
+You can install it from CRAN with:
+
+```{r, eval = FALSE}
+install.packages("bigquery")
+```
+
+This has been the first major update to bigrquery for a while, and is mostly about catching up with innovations elsewhere as well as squashing a bunch of smaller annoyances.
+
+```{r}
+library(bigrquery)
+```
+
+Here's a summary of the biggest changes:
+
+-   bigrquery is now [MIT licensed](https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2021/12/relicensing-packages/).
+
+-   Deprecated functions (i.e. those not starting with `bq_`) have been removed.
+    These have been superseded for a long time and were formally deprecated in bigrquery 1.3.0 (2020).
+
+-   `bq_table_download()` now returns unknown fields as character vectors.
+    In particular, this means that `BIGNUMERIC` and `JSON` columns are downloaded into R for you to process as you wish.
+    `bq_table_download()` now uses the [clock package](https://clock.r-lib.org) to parse dates, leading to a considerable performance improvement and correct parsing for dates prior to 1970-01-01.
+
+-   bigquery datasets and tables will now appear in the [RStudio connections pane](https://docs.posit.co/ide/user/ide/guide/data/data-connections.html) when connecting with `DBI::dbConnect()`.
+
+-   `DBI::dbAppendTable(),` `DBI::dbCreateTable()`, and `DBI::dbExecute()` are now supported, and `DBI::dbGetQuery()`/`DBI::dbSendQuery()` support parameterised queries via the `params` argument.
+    `DBI::dbReadTable()`, `DBI::dbWriteTable()`, `DBI::dbExistsTable()`, `DBI::dbRemoveTable()`, and `DBI::dbListFields()` now all work with `DBI::Id()`.
+
+-   bigrquery now uses 2nd edition of dbplyr interface and is compatible with dbplyr 2.4.0.
+
+See the [release notes](https://github.com/r-dbi/bigrquery/releases/tag/v1.5.0) for a full list of changes.
