 - :meth:`DataFrame.fillna` and :meth:`Series.fillna` can now accept ``value=None``; for non-object dtype the corresponding NA value will be used (:issue:`57723`)
 - :meth:`Series.cummin` and :meth:`Series.cummax` now supports :class:`CategoricalDtype` (:issue:`52335`)
 - :meth:`Series.plot` now correctly handle the ``ylabel`` parameter for pie charts, allowing for explicit control over the y-axis label (:issue:`58239`)
+- Support reading Stata 110-format (Stata 7) dta files (:issue:`47176`)
