 ### Changed
 
 - **Breaking**: Remove exported `ConcatCDFVariable`; concatenating CDF variables now returns a `CDFVariable` backed by `DiskArrays.ConcatDiskArray`.
+- **Breaking**: Remove exported `ConcatCDFDataset`; multi-file datasets are represented by `CDFDataset` with multiple sources.
+- **Breaking**: Remove internal `ClippedCDFDataset`; dataset views are represented by `CDFDataset` with an interval.
 - **Breaking**: `CDFVariable` type parameters are now ordered as `{T, N, A, S, P, MD}` so storage type `A` is the first dispatch parameter after element type and rank.
 
 ## [TODO]
 
 - [x] Static analysis test with `JET.jl` 
-- [ ] Full support for `CommonDataModel.jl` interface
\ No newline at end of file
+- [ ] Full support for `CommonDataModel.jl` interface
