## Changelog: Government Tenders Scraper

### 0.4

- New fields: contact_name, contact_title, contact_email, contact_phone and a contacts list with every point of contact the notice publishes (SAM.gov primary and secondary, CanadaBuys, TED buyer).

### 0.3

- Price lowered to $2.00 per 1,000 tenders ($1.40 on paid plans).
- The prefilled form caps the first run at 10 tenders per source; optional Slack and webhook digest after each run.
- Start fee lowered to $0.006 per run, about twice the cost of the largest run that returns nothing.
- Look-back capped at 7 days (was 30); use new-only mode on a schedule for a longer feed.
- SAM.gov is read in batches, so long look-backs fit in the default memory. Store page corrected: it now says SAM.gov cuts descriptions at 32,000 characters.
- Lawful-use section added (B2B only, no spam, CASL/CAN-SPAM/GDPR); removal requests via the Issues tab honoured within 7 days through a suppression list.
- Descriptions restored (business contacts kept), 3-letter SAM.gov country codes mapped to ISO 2-letter, the run status names sources cut by the per-source cap.

### 0.2

- Description text removed from all sources (privacy); keywords now match the title. Structured fields and the notice link are unchanged.

### 0.1

- TED closing time uses the request-to-participate deadline on restricted and negotiated procedures and the latest lot deadline on multi-lot notices; TED descriptions added.
- TED status (open, closed, awarded) now follows the notice type, so award notices are no longer shown as open.
- TED notices are read newest day first, 'Max results per source' set to 0 now really returns everything, and 'Open tenders only' also leaves out SAM.gov justifications and special notices.
- First release: SAM.gov, CanadaBuys and TED; NAICS/UNSPSC/CPV filters; incremental mode.
