## Changelog

### 2026-10-13: Fast screenshot and image preview

#### Features

- The Screenshots table shows a preview and an Open link for each successful
  capture. Failed rows have no image.
- `capturePreset: fast` is an optional screenshot path. It uses DOM content
  loaded, no extra delay, and no lazy-load scrolling. Omitting it keeps the
  previous complete capture. Monitor mode keeps that complete PNG capture even
  if Fast, JPEG or WebP is also selected, and the row explains that in
  `warnings`.
- Screenshot mode can save JPEG or WebP with `imageFormat` and `imageQuality`.
  PNG remains the default.

#### Improvements

- The input form leads with the URL list, screenshot or monitor mode, page
  size, and capture preset. Viewport, wait, format, monitoring, and proxy
  settings sit in later sections.
- The default run memory is 1 GiB. A short run no longer pays for 2 GiB while
  the container is starting. Raise it for a very tall page.

### 2026-10-13: Start with a URL list (0.1.13)

#### Improvements

- The page starts with a list of public URLs and a PNG link for each successful
  capture. The one public example is Capture Full-Page Website Screenshots in
  Bulk. Replace the three sample pages with your own.
- Comparison, mobile viewport and selector setups remain in the README as inputs
  you can copy. They are not separate public examples.
- An inactive n8n workflow can run that list. Snapshot mode returns screenshot
  links. Monitor mode returns confirmed visual changes and failed rows, and
  leaves baselines and unchanged pages out.

#### Fixes

- The default API example is the same three-page list. A run without its own
  input no longer receives a placeholder payload.
