## Changelog

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

### 2026-10-18

- Store title, description and README rewritten; the input form gets sections and a faster prefill (10 software notices from the last 3 days). Input fields, defaults and output unchanged.

### 2026-10-16 (0.1.33-0.1.35)

- Maintenance builds (README); output unchanged.

### 2026-10-15 (0.1.28-0.1.32)

- `onlyNew` memory opens only when `onlyNew` is on, and falls back safely if the usual store can't be opened.
- Runs close to their memory or time limit stop cleanly with what they found, and partial-source messages say exactly which sources were cut short.

### 2026-10-14 (0.1.25-0.1.27)

- New opt-in source `us-sam-public`: US federal contract opportunities from SAM.gov's daily public file, with no API key.
- New filters: maximum value, value limits in USD or GBP, `closingWithinDays`, `naicsCodes` and `buyerContains`.
- New fields on every row: `daysToDeadline`, `valueUsd` and `valueGbp`. New **Closing soon** view, `CLOSING_SOON` record and a per-source summary in the status message.
- Stricter filter for private persons' names among suppliers.
- A source that fails before reading anything is retried once; if every picked source is still down, the run ends with a message naming them and charges nothing.

### 2026-10-13 (0.1.20-0.1.24)

- Private persons' supplier names are left out of UK, EU and Canadian awards too (a Companies House number always keeps the name).
- New `ocid` field on UK notices; a UK award is returned and charged once across its notices (existing `onlyNew` memory carries over, no double charge).
- Large requests finish inside the run's time limit: each source gets a fair share of the time and the run ends successfully, saying what to narrow.

### 2026-10-11 to 2026-10-12 (0.1.17-0.1.19)

- Maintenance builds; output unchanged.

### 2026-10-10 (0.1.1-0.1.16)

- First release: open tenders, awards and planned notices from UK Find a Tender, UK Contracts Finder, EU TED and CanadaBuys in one schema, with keyword, code, country and status filters and "only new since last run".
- Opt-in sources added: USAspending, SAM.gov (your own API key) and AusTender. An empty source list still means the original four.
