## Changelog

### 2026-10-27

#### Reliability

- Use a verified Irish valid/invalid pair for the demo input instead of depending on Germany's unavailable national service. Country coverage and honest outage failures are unchanged.

### 0.1.0 — 2026-10-25

- Validate supplied EU and Northern Ireland VAT batches through official VIES.
- Export definitive validity, returned business identity and consultation timestamps.
- Normalize and deduplicate identifiers; fail honestly on exhausted source outages.
- Missing business names, addresses and consultation references remain null.
