 **Features**
 
-  - `tsinfer` now supports inferring data from an `sgkit` dataset. This allows users to
-  infer from VCFs via the optimised and parallel VCF parsing in `sgkit`.
-  - The `variant_mask` boolean array in the `sgkit` dataset can be used mask sites
-    not wanted for inference.
-  - `sample_ids` are inserted into individual metadata as `variant_data_sample_id` if
-    this key does not already exist.
