## Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

### \[0.3.0] - 2026-09-09

#### Added

- 📊 A per-coin signal summary alongside the stories: post count, posts-per-hour against your own run history, a news velocity spike flag, net bullish/bearish vote balance, average and peak panic score, and top source domains. No other CryptoPanic Actor aggregates this; you'd otherwise compute it yourself from every run's rows.
- 🔁 "Only new stories since last run" mode with a named watchlist, for a recurring schedule that never re-delivers or re-bills the same story twice.

#### Changed

- 📈 Default run size raised from 25 to 100 stories, to match a fair side-by-side comparison with other CryptoPanic Actors.
- 💰 Runs now stop automatically once total cost reaches $0.15, unless you raise the limit yourself.
- 🖥️ Lowered the Actor's memory allocation to match its actual, much smaller footprint. No effect on results.

### \[0.2.0] - 2026-08-28

#### Fixed

- 🐛 Stories are live again. The previous version read a feed that had gone stale and was returning news up to three weeks old.

#### Added

- 📊 Community sentiment, panic score, and vote counts, which previously needed your own CryptoPanic API key. Still no account or key required.
- 📄 Full article text and the original formatted version, for the roughly half of stories whose publisher shares it.
- 🕒 Exact publish timestamps, replacing the vague "5 days ago" text.
- 🪙 Coin tags on every story, so you can see everything a story was about, not just the coin you searched for.
- ✍️ Story summary, author, publisher name, cover image, and a link to the story's CryptoPanic page.
- 🔎 Feed choice (Rising, Hot, Bullish, Bearish, Important, Funny) and a keyword search box.

#### Changed

- 📈 Runs now reach several hundred stories per coin instead of about ten.
- ⚖️ Coverage is spread evenly across the coins you list, so one busy coin no longer uses up the whole run.
- 💸 Switched to datacenter proxies by default, which cut the cost of a run substantially.
- 🔁 Duplicates are now matched on the story itself rather than its link, so the same story reported by two coins is stored once.
