+Planned as v3.1.0, May 2026.
 
 ### New
-* Support for clinical breakpoints of 2026 of both CLSI and EUCAST, by adding all of their over 5,700 new clinical breakpoints to the `clinical_breakpoints` data set for usage in `as.sir()`. EUCAST 2026 is now the new default guideline for all MIC and disk diffusion interpretations.
+* EUCAST 2026 and CLSI 2026 breakpoints: over 5,700 new breakpoints added to the `clinical_breakpoints` data set; EUCAST 2026 is now the default for all MIC and disk diffusion interpretations
-* Integration with the **tidymodels** framework to allow seamless use of SIR, MIC and disk data in modelling pipelines via `recipes`
+* Wildtype/Non-wildtype (WT/NWT) output when using ECOFF-based interpretation, by setting `breakpoint_type = "ECOFF"` in `as.sir()`; WT/NWT results are fully supported in all resistance/susceptibility functions and plots (#254)
-  - `step_mic_log2()` to transform `<mic>` columns with log2, and `step_sir_numeric()` to convert `<sir>` columns to numeric
+* Faster parallel computing via the `future` package; **breaking change**: a non-sequential plan (e.g. `future::plan(future::multisession)`) must be active before using `parallel = TRUE`; `antibiogram()` and `wisca()` now also support `parallel = TRUE` (#281)
-  - New `tidyselect` helpers:
+* *tidymodels* integration for using SIR, MIC and disk data in modelling pipelines: `step_mic_log2()`, `step_sir_numeric()`, and new column selectors `all_sir()`, `all_mic()`, `all_disk()`
-    - `all_sir()`, `all_sir_predictors()`
+* New `esbl_isolates` data set for practising AMR modelling
-    - `all_mic()`, `all_mic_predictors()`
+* New antimicrobial selectors: `ionophores()`, `peptides()`, `phosphonics()`, `spiropyrimidinetriones()`
-    - `all_disk()`, `all_disk_predictors()`
+* New `interpretive_rules()`, a unified function for EUCAST and CLSI interpretive rules; `eucast_rules()` is now a wrapper around it (#235, #259)
-* Data set `esbl_isolates` to practise with AMR modelling
+* New `amr_course()` to download and unpack course or webinar materials from GitHub in one call
-* AMR selectors `ionophores()`, `peptides()`, `phosphonics()` and `spiropyrimidinetriones()`
+* Typed missing value constants `NA_ab_` and `NA_mo_`, for use in pipelines that need missing values of a specific class
-* Support for Wildtype (WT) / Non-wildtype (NWT) in `as.sir()`, all plotting functions, and all susceptibility/resistance functions.
-  - `as.sir()` gained an argument `as_wt_nwt`, which defaults to `TRUE` only when `breakpoint_type = "ECOFF"` (#254)
-  - This transforms the output from S/R to WT/NWT
-  - Functions such as `susceptibility()` count WT as S and NWT as R
-* Function `interpretive_rules()`, which allows future implementation of CLSI interpretive rules (#235)
-  - `eucast_rules()` has become a wrapper around that function
-  - Gained argument `add_if_missing` (default: `TRUE`). When set to `FALSE`, rules are only applied to cells that already contain an SIR value; `NA` cells are left untouched. This is useful with `overwrite = TRUE` to update reported results without imputing values for drugs that were not tested (#259)
-* Function `amr_course()`, which allows for automated download and unpacking of a GitHub repository for e.g. webinar use
-* Two new `NA` objects, `NA_ab_` and `NA_mo_`, analogous to base R's `NA_character_` and `NA_integer_`, for use in pipelines that require typed missing values
 
 ### Fixes
-* Fixed multiple bugs in the `parallel = TRUE` mode of `as.sir()` for data frames: (1) PSOCK workers (Windows / R < 4.0) now correctly load the AMR package before processing, with a graceful fallback to sequential mode when the package cannot be loaded; (2) resolved stale-environment issue where the PSOCK path read a frozen copy of `AMR_env` instead of the live one, causing the wrong log entries to be captured; (3) fixed log-entry duplication in the fork-based path (`mclapply`) where pre-existing `sir_interpretation_history` rows were included in every worker's captured log; (4) removed use of non-exported internal functions (`%pm>%`, `pm_pull`, `as.sir.default`) from the worker closure, which made PSOCK workers fail; (5) suppressed per-column progress messages inside workers to prevent interleaved console output; (6) fixed a malformed Unicode escape `\u00a` (3 digits) in the "DONE" status message
+* `as.sir()` on data frames: already-converted SIR columns no longer dropped on re-run (#278); metadata columns (e.g. `patient`, `ward`) no longer misidentified as antibiotic columns; `info = FALSE` now suppresses all messages, including for columns without breakpoints
-* Fixed a bug in `as.sir()` where values that were purely numeric (e.g., `"1"`) and matched the broad SIR-matching regex would be incorrectly stripped of all content by the Unicode letter filter
+* `as.mic()`: values in scientific notation (e.g. `1e-3`) now handled correctly
-* Fixed a bug in `as.mic()` where MIC values in scientific notation (e.g., `"1e-3"`) were incorrectly handled because the letter `e` was removed along with other Unicode letters; scientific notation `e` is now preserved
+* `as.ab()`: codes containing "PH" or "TH" (e.g. `ETH`, `PHE`) no longer return `NA` when mixed with unrecognised input (#245)
-* Fixed a bug in `as.ab()` where certain AB codes containing "PH" or "TH" (such as `ETH`, `MTH`, `PHE`, `PHN`, `STH`, `THA`, `THI1`) would incorrectly return `NA` when combined in a vector with any untranslatable value (#245)
+* Combined MIC/SIR input values (e.g. `"<= 0.002; S"` or `"S; 0.002"`) now parsed correctly (#252)
-* Fixed a bug in `antibiogram()` for when no antimicrobials are set
+* BRMO classification now includes bacterial complexes (#275)
-* Fixed a bug in `as.sir()` where for numeric input the arguments `S`,  `I`,  and `R` would not be considered (#244)
+* Translation fixes for Italian CoNS/CoPS names (#256), Dutch antimicrobials, and `sir_df()` foreign-language output (#272)
-* Fixed a bug in plotting MIC values when `keep_operators = "all"`
-* Fixed some foreign translations of antimicrobial drugs
-* Fixed a bug for printing column names to the console when using `mutate_at(vars(...), as.mic)` (#249)
-* Fixed a bug to disregard `NI` for susceptibility proportion functions
-* Fixed Italian translation of CoNS to Stafilococco coagulasi-negativo and CoPS to Stafilococco coagulasi-positivo (#256)
-* Fixed SIR and MIC coercion of combined values, e.g. `as.sir("<= 0.002; S") ` or `as.mic("S; 0.002")` (#252)
-* Fixed translation of foreign languages in `sir_df()` (#272)
-* Fixed BRMO classification by including bacterial complexes (#275)
-* Fixed `as.sir()` for data frames silently deleting columns whose AB class was already `<sir>` when called a second time (re-running on already-converted data) (#278)
-* Fixed `as.sir()` for data frames incorrectly treating metadata columns (e.g. `patient`, `ward`) as antibiotic columns when their names coincidentally matched an antibiotic code; column content is now validated against AMR data patterns before inclusion
 
 ### Updates
-* Extensive `cli` integration for better message handling and clickable links in messages and warnings (#191, #265)
+* `custom_eucast_rules()` renamed to `custom_interpretive_rules()`; old name deprecated but still works (#268)
-* `mdro()` now infers resistance for a _missing_ base drug column from an _available_ corresponding drug+inhibitor combination showing resistance (e.g., piperacillin is absent but required, while piperacillin/tazobactam available and resistant). Can be set with the new argument `infer_from_combinations`, which defaults to `TRUE` (#209). Note that this can yield a higher MDRO detection (which is a good thing as it has become more reliable).
+* `mdro()` can now infer resistance from a drug+inhibitor combination when the base drug column is absent (e.g. piperacillin inferred from piperacillin/tazobactam); controlled via new `infer_from_combinations` argument (default `TRUE`) (#209)
-* `susceptibility()` and `resistance()` gained the argument `guideline`, which defaults to EUCAST, for interpreting the 'I' category correctly.
+* `susceptibility()` / `resistance()`: new `guideline` argument (default EUCAST) to ensure the 'I' category is interpreted correctly per guideline
-* Added to the `antimicrobials` data set: cefepime/taniborbactam (`FTA`), ceftibuten/avibactam (`CTA`), clorobiocin (`CLB`), kasugamycin (`KAS`), ostreogrycin (`OST`), taniborbactam (`TAN`), thiostrepton (`THS`), xeruborbactam (`XER`), and zorbamycin (`ZOR`)
+* Capped MIC handling in `as.sir()` reworked into four clearly defined options: `"none"`, `"conservative"` (new default), `"standard"`, `"lenient"` (#243)
-* `as.mic()` and `rescale_mic()` gained the argument `round_to_next_log2`, which can be set to `TRUE` to round all values up to the nearest next log2 level (#255)
+* `as.mic()` / `rescale_mic()`: new `round_to_next_log2` argument to round values up to the nearest log2 dilution level (#255)
-* `antimicrobials$group` is now a `list` instead of a `character`, to contain any group the drug is in (#246)
+* `antimicrobials$group` now a `list`, so drugs belonging to multiple groups are fully represented; use `ab_group(all_groups = TRUE)` to retrieve all groups for a drug (#246)
-* `ab_group()` gained an argument `all_groups` to return all groups the antimicrobial drug is in (#246)
+* New antimicrobials added: cefepime/taniborbactam (`FTA`), ceftibuten/avibactam (`CTA`), clorobiocin (`CLB`), kasugamycin (`KAS`), ostreogrycin (`OST`), taniborbactam (`TAN`), thiostrepton (`THS`), xeruborbactam (`XER`), zorbamycin (`ZOR`)
-* Added explaining message to `as.sir()` when interpreting numeric values (e.g., 1 for S, 2 for I, 3 for R) (#244)
+* Improved console messages with clickable links throughout, powered by `cli` (#191, #265)
-* Updated handling of capped MIC values (`<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`) in `as.sir()` in the argument `capped_mic_handling`: (#243)
-  * Introduced four clearly defined options: `"none"`, `"conservative"` (default), `"standard"`, and `"lenient"`
-  * Interpretation of capped MIC values now consistently returns `"NI"` (non-interpretable) when the true MIC could be at either side of a breakpoint, depending on the selected handling mode
-  * This results in more reliable behaviour compared to previous versions for capped MIC values
-  * Removed the `"inverse"` option, which has now become redundant
-* `ab_group()` now returns values consist with the AMR selectors (#246)
-* Added two new `NA` objects, `NA_ab_` and `NA_mo_`, analogous to base R's `NA_character_` and `NA_integer_`, for use in pipelines that require typed missing values

+#' @param reference_data A [data.frame] to be used for interpretation, which defaults to the [clinical_breakpoints] data set. Changing this argument allows for using own interpretation guidelines. This argument must have the same column names as the [clinical_breakpoints] data set. Column types are coerced automatically where possible: the `mo` column is passed through [as.mo()], the `ab` column through [as.ab()], and plain character, numeric, or logical columns are cast to the expected type. When `reference_data` is manually set, the `guideline` argument is optional: if omitted (or if its value does not match any row in the custom data), all rows in `reference_data` are considered. If `guideline` is set to a value that exists in the `guideline` column of the custom data, only matching rows are used — useful when a single custom table contains multiple guidelines. For the R classification, the EUCAST convention is used by default: MIC values `> breakpoint_R` and disk diffusion values `< breakpoint_R` are classified as R, with values between `breakpoint_S` and `breakpoint_R` classified as I (or SDD). Only when using the standard [clinical_breakpoints] with a CLSI guideline are the closed-interval rules (`>= breakpoint_R` for MIC, `<= breakpoint_R` for disk) applied; custom `reference_data` always uses the open-interval (EUCAST) convention regardless of the guideline name.
