## Changelog

### 2026-10-01

#### Fixed

- Every run now ends with a status line saying how many itineraries were saved (or that fares did not change). Runs with pasted Google Flights links and runs with a fixed date used to end with a blank status.

### 0.1.x — 2026-10-01

- Fixed: Runs with a maximum cost limit no longer end without results when platform usage counts toward the limit.

### 0.1.x — 2026-09-30

- Fixed: with a maximum cost per run set, the whole limit after the start fee now goes to results. Before, part of it was used up twice, so a run returned fewer itineraries than the limit paid for, and with market comparison on a comparison could be charged for an itinerary that was then not returned. With add-ons on, the limit is counted per itinerary including its add-on lookups. Prices are unchanged.
- Improved: `outboundDate` is now optional. Leave it empty to search 30 days from today, so the ready-made example always searches a future date.
- Improved: with `outboundDate` empty, the first tracking run picks the date 30 days from today and later runs keep watching that same date until it has passed, then move on to a new one. Before, every run searched a different date, so the NEW / UPDATED comparison never compared the same flights. The run status names the date.
- Added: `tripLengthDays` for round trips without fixed dates. When it is set and `returnDate` is empty, the return date is the departure date plus that many days, also on every day of a cheapest-date scan.
- Improved: a departure or return date in the past, or a return date before the departure date, ends the run with a clear message naming the date, returns no rows and charges no results. The run finishes as succeeded rather than failed.
- Improved: the cheapest-date scan skips days that are already in the past.
- Improved: the run honours the maximum cost per run you set. It collects only the itineraries that limit pays for and finishes as succeeded with a status saying so, instead of being aborted by the platform mid-run. On tracking runs the itineraries held back are delivered by the next run.
- Fixed: a pasted Google Flights link without a date now fills `outboundDate` (and the title) with the date Google Flights picked, instead of leaving it empty.
- Improved: the round-trip monitor, the pasted-link example and the other examples no longer contain fixed dates, so they do not go stale.

### 0.1.x — 2026-09-22

- Improved: the Max Results field is prefilled with 100 in the form.

### 0.1.x — 2026-08-14

- Fixed: setting a `returnDate` and leaving Trip Type unselected now runs a round-trip search. Before, the form's default trip type turned it into a one-way search.

### 0.1.x — 2026-08-01 – 2026-08-02

- Fixed: input fields that had no effect were removed from the form; their retired names (`maxResults`, `incrementalMode`) are still accepted.

### 0.1.x — 2026-07-15 – 2026-07-28

- Added: Google Flights Price Tracker — watch routes on a schedule; incremental tracking is on by default and each run returns only `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `EXPIRED` itineraries compared with the previous run.
- Added: one-way, round-trip and multi-city searches, multi-airport radius search, cheapest-date ±N day scan, distance analytics, opt-in add-ons (cross-market comparison, through-fare data flag, per-seller booking options), paste mode, price-change notifications (Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, webhook) and MCP export.
- Added: ready-made fare-monitor tasks (route watch, round-trip monitor, multi-airport watch, cheapest-date tracker).
- Fixed: a results page that loads without itineraries is retried instead of being accepted as "no flights".
- Fixed: when Google Flights keeps answering without results, the run now fails with a clear status instead of finishing silently with 0 rows.
- Fixed: on a plan that cannot use the proxy Google Flights requires, the run ends with an explanatory message instead of an error.
