 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
+- Added `FastBufferReader(ArraySegment<byte> buffer, Allocator copyAllocator)` constructor that uses the `ArraySegment.Offset` as the `FastBufferReader` offset and the `ArraySegment.Count` as the `FastBufferReader` length. (#3320)
+- Added `FastBufferReader(ArraySegment<byte> buffer, Allocator copyAllocator, int length = -1)` constructor that uses the `ArraySegment.Offset` as the `FastBufferReader` offset. (#3320)
