 * The `microorganisms` no longer relies on the Catalogue of Life, but now primarily on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and is supplemented with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The structure of this data set has changed to include separate LPSN and GBIF identifiers. Almost all previous MO codes were retained. It contains over 1,000 taxonomic names from 2022 already.
 * The `microorganisms.old` data set was removed, and all previously accepted names are now included in the `microorganisms` data set. A new column `status` contains `"accepted"` for currently accepted names and `"synonym"` for taxonomic synonyms; currently invalid names. All previously accepted names now have a microorganisms ID and - if available - an LPSN, GBIF and SNOMED CT identifier.
 * The MO matching score algorithm (`mo_matching_score()`) now counts deletions and substitutions as 2 instead of 1, which impacts the outcome of `as.mo()` and any `mo_*()` function
-* Argument `combine_IR` has been removed from this package (affecting all `count_df()`, `proportion_df()` and `rsi_all()`), since it was replaced with `combine_SI` three years ago

   * A new argument `keep_synonyms` allows to *not* correct for updated taxonomy, in favour of the now deleted argument `allow_uncertain`
   * It has increased tremendously in speed and returns generally more consequent results
   * Sequential coercion is now extremely fast as results are stored to the package environment, although coercion of unknown values must be run once per session. Previous results can be reset/removed with the new `mo_reset_session()` function.
+* Function `rsi_confidence_interval()` to add confidence intervals in AMR calculation. This is also included in `rsi_df()` and `proportion_df()`
 * Function `mean_amr_distance()` to calculate the mean AMR distance. The mean AMR distance is a normalised numeric value to compare AMR test results and can help to identify similar isolates, without comparing antibiograms by hand.
 * Function `rsi_interpretation_history()` to view the history of previous runs of `as.rsi()`. This returns a 'logbook' with the selected guideline, reference table and specific interpretation of each row in a data set on which `as.rsi()` was run.
 * Function `mo_current()` to get the currently valid taxonomic name of a microorganism

 * All data sets in this package are now exported as `tibble`, instead of base R `data.frame`s. Older R versions are still supported.
 * Support for the following languages: Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Polish, Turkish and Ukrainian. We are very grateful for the valuable input by our colleagues from other countries. The `AMR` package is now available in 16 languages. The automatic language determination will give a note at start-up on systems in supported languages.
 * Our data sets are now also continually exported to Apache Feather and Apache Parquet formats. You can find more info [in this article on our website](https://msberends.github.io/AMR/articles/datasets.html).
-* Added confidence intervals in AMR calculation. This is now included in `rsi_df()` and `proportion_df()` and manually available as `rsi_confidence_interval()`
 * Support for using antibiotic selectors in scoped `dplyr` verbs (with or without `vars()`), such as in: `... %>% summarise_at(aminoglycosides(), resistance)`, see `resistance()`
