 - `score()` now returns objects of class `scores` with a stored attribute `metrics` that holds the names of the scoring rules that were used. Users can call `get_metrics()` to access the names of those scoring rules. 
 - `check_forecasts()` was replaced by a different workflow. There now is a function, `as_forecast()`, that determines forecast type of the data, constructs a forecasting object and validates it using the function `validate_forecast()` (a generic that dispatches the correct method based on the forecast type). Objects of class `forecast_binary`, `forecast_point`, `forecast_sample` and `forecast_quantile` have print methods that fulfill the functionality of `check_forecasts()`.
 - Users can test whether an object is of class `forecast_*()` using the function `is_forecast()`. Users can also test for a specific `forecast_*` class using the appropriate `is_forecast.forecast_*` method. For example, to check whether an object is of class `forecast_quantile`, you would use you would use `scoringutils:::is_forecast.forecast_quantile()`.
-- The functionality for computing pairwise comparisons was now split from `summarise_scores()`. Instead of doing pairwise comparisons as part of summarising scores, a new function, `add_pairwise_comparison()`, was introduced that takes summarised scores as an input and adds columns with relative skil scores and scaled relative skill scores.
+- The functionality for computing pairwise comparisons was now split from `summarise_scores()`. Instead of doing pairwise comparisons as part of summarising scores, a new function, `add_relative_skill()`, was introduced that takes summarised scores as an input and adds columns with relative skill scores and scaled relative skill scores.
+- The function `pairwise_comparison()` was renamed to `get_pairwise_comparisons()`, in line with other `get_`-functions. Analogously, `plot_pairwise_comparison()` was renamed to `plot_pairwise_comparisons()`.
 - `add_coverage()` was replaced by a new function, `get_coverage()`. This function comes with an updated workflow where coverage values are computed directly based on the original data and can then be visualised using `plot_interval_coverage()` or `plot_quantile_coverage()`. An example worfklow would be `example_quantile |> as_forecast() |> get_coverage(by = "model") |> plot_interval_coverage()`.
 - Support for the interval format was mostly dropped (see PR #525 by @nikosbosse and reviewed by @seabbs)
     - The function `bias_range()` was removed (users should now use `bias_quantile()` instead)
