## Changelog

### 0.2 - 2026-10-23

#### Fixed

- 🌍 Choosing a country now returns that country. Before, a Germany run could contain cars from Sweden, Poland and other storefronts, and picking several countries gave the same mixed cars again.
- 🏷️ Gearbox, fuel and emission labels are correct. Manual cars were shown as "Code 1138", electric and hybrid cars as "Code 1044" and "Code 1046", and the emission class showed a raw number. Unknown values are now left out of the row instead of showing placeholders.
- 🔃 Newest, cheapest and lowest-mileage sorting now picks the true top cars of the whole country, not a re-ordered slice.
- 🔎 The model filter works with short names. "Golf" now finds every Golf, and brand and model are not case sensitive.
- 🔗 Direct car links now return those cars.
- 🛠️ Every error path ends with a clear message instead of a silent empty run, and the run stops cleanly when your maximum charge is reached.
- ⚡ Runs connect directly and are faster; the Actor switches to a proxy by itself only if Autohero refuses.

#### Added

- 🎚️ Filters for price, mileage, build year, engine power, fuel type and gearbox, plus accident-free only, price-reduced only, several brands at once and an option to hide coming-soon cars.
- 📉 Price-drop fields: previous price, first listed price, last drop and total drop, with a price-reduced flag.
- 🔍 Full car details (optional): VIN, body type, colour, upholstery, equipment list, documented damages, service history, warranty options, dimensions and Autohero's own summary.
- 🔔 New-car monitor: name a search and schedule it. Later runs save only new cars and price changes, each marked NEW, PRICE_DROP or PRICE_UP.
- ➕ More fields per car: consumption, emission sticker, energy class, plug-in hybrid flag, coming-soon and reserved flags, listing dates (ISO 8601) and branch id.
- 🆓 Free Apify plans are limited to 25 cars per run with a short wait between runs. Paid plans have no limit.
- 🌐 Default result size is now 25 cars per country (was 1,000). Raise it for bigger runs.

#### Changed

- The emission class reads like "Euro 6" instead of a raw number. Older field names are unchanged, and the raw codes stay in the `fuelTypeCode`, `transmissionCode` and `emissionClassCode` fields.
