### \[0.1.0] - 2026-09-13

#### Added

- 🚀 Initial release: search CNKI (中国知网) by keyword, author, subject, or classification code and get back clean, structured paper records instead of raw web pages.
- ✨ Each result includes title, authors, journal or source, publication date, database type, citation count, and download count.
- ✨ Added a ready-to-use citation string (GB/T 7714, China's national citation standard) generated automatically for every result.
- ➕ Added filters for database type (journals, theses, conferences, newspapers, and more), publication date range, language, and subject discipline.
- 🏆 Added journal-prestige tier filtering (北大核心, CSSCI, CSCD, AMI, WJCI, EI, SCI) — a distinction most academic search tools do not expose for Chinese-language journals.
- 📄 Added a dedicated "Papers" view for the flat result list.
- 🏆 Added a dedicated "Citation Rankings" view, sorted by citation count.
- 👤 Added an optional "Author Profiles" view with per-author paper counts, total citations, and institutional affiliation.
- 📊 Added a "Corpus Breakdown" view summarizing results by database type, discipline, and journal tier.
- ⚙️ Added monitor mode: re-run a saved search on a schedule and get only newly indexed papers since the last run.
- ⚙️ Added citation tracking mode: re-check a saved list of papers and get notified only when their citation count changes.
- 🛡️ No login, API key, or account required for any feature in this release.
