- :meth:`Timestamp.day_name` and :meth:`DatetimeIndex.day_name` are now available to return day names with a specified locale (:issue:`12806`)
- :meth:`DataFrame.to_sql` now performs a multivalue insert if the underlying connection supports itk rather than inserting row by row.
``SQLAlchemy`` dialects supporting multivalue inserts include: ``mysql``, ``postgresql``, ``sqlite`` and any dialect with ``supports_multivalues_insert``. (:issue:`14315`, :issue:`8953`)
+- :func:`read_html` now accepts a ``displayed_only`` keyword argument to controls whether or not hidden elements are parsed (``True`` by default) (:issue:`20027`)
