 PyMongo 4.17 brings a number of changes including:
 
+- ``has_key``, ``iterkeys`` and ``itervalues`` in :class:`bson.son.SON` have
+  been deprecated and will be removed in PyMongo 5.0. These methods were
+  deprecated in favor of the standard dictionary containment operator ``in``
+  and the ``keys()`` and ``values()`` methods, respectively.
+
 - Added the :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.client_session.AsyncClientSession.bind` and :meth:`~pymongo.client_session.ClientSession.bind` methods
   that allow users to bind a session to all database operations within the scope of a context manager instead of having to explicitly pass the session to each individual operation.
   See <PLACEHOLDER> for examples and more information.
