## Release summary

This is the resubmission of `mice` version 3.17.0. The previous submission was rejected due a problem with the downstream `autoReg` and `finalfit` packages. The problem was a change in the reporting of the confidence intervals. In the previous version confidence intervals were named `2.5 %` and `97.5 %`, a convention inherited from `stats::confint.default`. The update `mice 3.17.0` adopts the more flexible `broom` convention of naming these boundaries `conf.low` and `conf.high`, so that these names work for any probability level. This change caused the two downstream packages to fail. The issue has been fixed in this version of `mice` by duplicating the two conf columns, and naming them `2.5 %` and `97.5 %`. I will alert the maintainers of the `autoReg` and `finalfit` packages to this change, but for now, having the duplicate columns fixes the problem.

This release of `mice` adds new features, bug fixes, and documentation improvements.
