 - Added ability to export Categorical data to Stata (:issue:`8633`).  See :ref:`here <io.stata-categorical>` for limitations of categorical variables exported to Stata data files.
+- Added flag ``order_categoricals`` to ``StataReader`` and ``read_stata`` to select whether to order imported categorical data (:issue:`8836`).  See :ref:`here <io.stata-categorical>` for more information on importing categorical variables from Stata data files.
 - Added ability to export Categorical data to to/from HDF5 (:issue:`7621`). Queries work the same as if it was an object array. However, the ``category`` dtyped data is stored in a more efficient manner. See :ref:`here <io.hdf5-categorical>` for an example and caveats w.r.t. prior versions of pandas.
 - Added support for ``searchsorted()`` on `Categorical` class (:issue:`8420`).
 - Added support for ``utcfromtimestamp()``, ``fromtimestamp()``, and ``combine()`` on `Timestamp` class (:issue:`5351`).
 - Added Google Analytics (`pandas.io.ga`) basic documentation (:issue:`8835`). See :ref:`here<remote_data.ga>`.

 - ``Timedelta`` now supports arithemtic with ``numpy.ndarray`` objects of the appropriate dtype (numpy 1.8 or newer only) (:issue:`8884`).
