## Changelog

All dates are UTC. Build numbers are the Apify build that shipped the change.

### 2026-10-21 (BUILD_GJ)

- New fields `adSponsorship` (`offers`, `conditional`, `refuses`, `not-mentioned`), `adRelocation` (same values) and `adEvidence` (the quoted sentence, up to 250 characters), read from the job ad's own text. New input `includeAdSignals` (default on). No new charge or price; existing fields are unchanged, rows only gain columns. Also: `postingSponsorship` no longer reports security-clearance sponsorship ("we will sponsor your SC clearance") as a visa offer.

### 2026-10-18

- Build 0.1.15: `datePosted` (past 24 hours, 3 days, week or month) now follows the link behind Google's own "Date posted" chip, which carries Google's filter token. Searching with the date words alone sometimes found nothing (e.g. "software engineer" in New York for the past 24 hours). The words remain the fallback when a page has no chip. Past 24 hours uses Google's "Last 3 days" filter plus each job's own age, because Google's "Yesterday" filter returns almost nothing logged-out. Each job's age is still checked again; jobs outside the window are never charged. "Yesterday" cards count as one day old, and `SUMMARY.dateFilter` reports how each search was filtered. Default stays `any`. New README section.
- Store listing, README and input form text rewritten (input form now has sections). The input prefill asks for 10 jobs instead of 20, so a first run finishes sooner. Output unchanged.

### 2026-10-17

- Store title and description rewritten around the phrases buyers search for.

### 2026-10-16 (0.1.10-0.1.11)

- `locations`: run every search in several places in one run; a job found in two places is returned and charged once.
- `radiusKm`: Google's own search radius around each location.
- New fields `qualifications`, `responsibilities` and `benefits`: Google's job highlights as flat lists.
- Price cut: $0.75 per 1,000 jobs.
- `onlyNew` memory store opens safely and only when `onlyNew` is on.

### 2026-10-15 (0.1.1-0.1.9)

- First release: logged-out Google Jobs search in 21 countries with salary as numbers, full description, every apply link, and the employer's US H-1B/PERM filing record and UK sponsor licence. `postingSponsorship` says what the posting itself says about visa sponsorship, with the sentence quoted. Date, job type, remote and sponsorship filters, and `onlyNew` mode for job alerts.
- Sharper detection of sponsorship offers and refusals in posting text.
- UK sponsor matching handles legal suffixes, trading names and a reviewed brand list; new `ukMatchBasis` field. Register entries that are sole traders named after a person are dropped.
