## Changelog

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

### \[0.1.0] - 2026-09-02

#### Added

- 🚀 Initial release: downloads Kick.com clips and VODs as MP4 files, by channel or by direct clip/VOD URL.
- ✨ Watchlist mode: remembers what was already downloaded per channel so scheduled runs fetch only new clips or VODs, catching them before a streamer deletes the source broadcast.
- ➕ VOD length cap so a single long broadcast can't blow past a run's expected time or cost.
- 📋 Two dataset views in the Output tab: a downloads overview and a watchlist-changes view.
- 🛡️ One transparent price per download, no stacked or hidden fees.

#### Fixed

- 🐛 Fixed a bug that caused channel VOD lists to come back empty even when the channel had VODs available.
- 🩹 Fixed a bug that could make a downloaded clip several times larger than its real size.
- ⚡ Improved download reliability on longer broadcasts so runs complete quickly instead of stalling.
- 🛠️ Fixed a packaging issue that could prevent the Actor from starting in the cloud.
- 🚀 Significantly sped up downloads so a full run completes well within the time you'd expect.

#### Changed

- ⚙️ Reorganized the Input form into clearer, collapsible sections.
- 💰 Added two more size-based pricing tiers to cover very large VOD downloads.
