+- Removed the previously deprecated "index" keyword from :func:`read_stata`, :class:`StataReader`, and :meth:`StataReader.read`, use "index_col" instead (:issue:`17328`)
+- Removed the previously deprecated :meth:`StataReader.data` method, use :meth:`StataReader.read` instead (:issue:`9493`)
 - Removed the previously deprecated :func:`pandas.plotting._matplotlib.tsplot`, use :meth:`Series.plot` instead (:issue:`19980`)
