## Changelog

### 2026-09-01

- Fleet-wide health check. Verified against this Actor's real run history: 30-day success rate, output row counts, per-field fill rates, and peak memory against the configured memory limit.
- Reviewed for the failure patterns that have cost this fleet runs — unguarded proxy setup, retry loops that can outlast the run's own time budget, and full-page HTML parsing that can exhaust a small container.
- No change to input, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-08-11

- Maintenance release: refreshed the build and dependencies.
- Re-verified live execution, non-empty structured output and dataset field/type integrity.
- Reviewed reliability (retries, pagination) and output quality as part of a full-fleet QA pass.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-01

- Initial publish-ready implementation.
- Added global cities500/1000/5000/15000 and allCountries dump modes.
- Added multi-country bulk-file mode with country, name, feature and population filters.
- Streams ZIP/TSV data and maps the complete documented GeoNames record.
- Added GeoNames and CC BY 4.0 attribution to every dataset item and README.
- Added schemas, dataset overview, retries and a 500,000-item cap.
- Validated with default and alternate country/feature inputs.
