 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- Rolled back code that would attempt to catch integer overflow when encoding
+  times with small integer dtypes (:issue:`8542`), since it was inconsistent
+  with xarray's handling of standard integers, and interfered with encoding
+  times with small integer dtypes and missing values (:pull:`9498`). By
+  `Spencer Clark <https://github.com/spencerkclark>`_.
