## Changelog

### 1.0 (2026-11-11)

First release.

- Trending-now searches per country or sub-region from Google Trends' public trending RSS feed: query, approximate searches (as a number and as Google's label), start time, picture and the linked news stories.
- Geo input as ISO codes, country names, aliases or sub-region codes and names; invalid and unsupported geos reported per entry, the rest still run.
- Filters: minimum approximate searches, keywords and exclusions (query and/or news headlines), max trends per geo, order by recency or by traffic.
- One row per trend across geos, with the list of geos where it trends.
- Change tracking between runs: `new`, `still_trending`, `dropped`, with first seen, last seen, peak traffic and previous rank; changes-only output for alert feeds.
- Polite by default: one request per geo, low concurrency, jittered backoff honouring Retry-After, a rate-limit circuit breaker and a per-run request budget.
- Per-geo status rows and run summary in `OUTPUT`; the run fails with reasons when no trend could be read.
- Pay-per-event pricing (`trend` event) that stops gracefully at the run's maximum charge.
