## Changelog

This changelog highlights releases that materially changed Social Media Profile Finder for users. Dates use UTC; small internal refactors and routine maintenance are intentionally omitted.

### 2026-09-05

*Reliability*

- Improved large multi-domain runs by releasing connections after each website and preventing redundant retries of failed sites, reducing memory pressure and avoiding partial results caused by out-of-memory failures.

### 2026-09-01

*Improvements*

- Improved profile accuracy with URL-aware route validation, canonical deduplication, and deterministic candidate ranking.
- Added `profileCandidates` provenance so every valid candidate shows its platform, canonical URL, discovery source, and whether it was selected in the legacy `profiles` map.
- Excluded common share, content, product, and navigation routes, including GitHub links such as `/mcp`, from profile results.

### 2026-06-19

*Features*

- Added three ready-to-run public task examples for common website and lead-enrichment workflows.

### 2026-03-01

*Features*

- Initial release for finding public social media profile links from website URLs, including major platforms such as Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and more.
- Added structured output for per-platform profile links and all discovered social URLs, with support for batch website scanning.
