## Changelog

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

### \[0.2.0] - 2026-08-19

#### Added ✨➕

- ✨ New country, show area, and hall filters. Narrow results to a specific country, product category, or exhibition hall without changing your start URL.

#### Changed ⚙️⚡📈

- ⚡ Filters are applied before an exhibitor's profile page is fetched, so runs using them finish faster and use fewer requests than scraping everything and filtering afterward.

### \[0.1.0] - 2026-07-03

#### Added ✨➕

- ✨ Initial release: exhibitor directory crawler for the IFA Berlin exhibitor directory (Messe Berlin).
- ➕ Extracts company name, country, show-area categories, hall and stand number, and logo directly from the listing page.
- 🏢 Automatically follows exhibitor list pagination and every individual exhibitor profile page for a full description and any genuinely published press contact emails.
- 📇 Added a dedicated "Contact Details" data view and a "Full Profile" data view alongside the main overview table.

#### Changed ⚙️⚡📈

- 🧹 Cleaned up output records by omitting any field that isn't genuinely available for a given exhibitor, so the dataset never contains placeholder or fallback values. General company email, phone, street address, website, and social links are intentionally not included: they are not reliably available as exhibitor-specific data on this platform.
