 These changes are in the Salesforce CLI release candidate. We plan to include these changes in next week's official release. This list isn't final and is subject to change.
 
 ------------
 
+* NEW: Write the output of an executed SOQL query to a file with the new `--output-file` flag of the `data query` command. This new flag works only with CSV (comma-separated values) and JSON output, so you must use it in combination with `--result-format csv|json`. This example executes a SOQL query in an org with alias `my-scratch` and writes the JSON results to a file called `query-output.json`:
+
+    ```bash
+    sf data query --query "SELECT Id, Name, Account.Name FROM Contact" --output-file query-output.json --result-format json --target-org my-scratch

+
+* FIX: The `org refresh|resume sandbox` commands no longer output the erroneous error `INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS: use of the Metadata API requires a user with the ModifyAllData or ModifyMetadata permissions​` after they finish executing. The error was incorrect because users who refresh or resume sandboxes don't need those permissions.  The refresh and resume of the sandbox always finished correctly, despite that error.

+* FIX: The `data export bulk` command no longer fails when exporting a very large dataset, such as millions of records, to a JSON-formatted output file.

 * NEW: Specify the line endings used in the comma-separated values (CSV) file when you run the `data delete|upsert bulk` commands with the new `--line-ending` flag. The default value on Windows is `CRLF`; on macOS and Linux it's `LF`. Similarly, specify the column delimiters in the CSV file when you run `data upsert bulk` with the new `--column-delimiter` flag; possible values include `BACKQUOTE`, `CARET`, and more. For example:
