## 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.

### 2026-08-01

- Completed the August 2026 full health check: verified empty/programmatic default, Console UI default, and two source-informed alternative inputs on Apify.
- Confirmed successful live execution, non-empty structured output, dataset-field/type integrity, and logical sample quality within the 5-minute quality window.

### 2026-07-18

- Maintenance & reliability pass — re-verified end-to-end against live data via the Apify API; confirmed the Actor completes successfully and returns non-empty, well-formed results within the 5-minute quality window on its default input.
- Refreshed build so the latest version is current; no change to inputs, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-07-12

- Origin and destination airports are now dropdowns (80+ major world hubs with human labels) instead of free-text IATA codes — pick and go, no typos.
- Max stops is now a dropdown (Any / Non-stop / 1 / 2). Currency and language/region are dropdowns too.
- Empty input `{}` returns data out of the box: JFK → LHR, cabin Economy, departing ~30 days from now (the date is computed at run time so it never expires).
- Default `maxResults` set to 200 for a fast, cheap first run; raise it (or set 0 = unlimited) to pull more.
- Added a ~4-minute pagination time budget on multi-date scans — pushes what was collected and exits successfully.
- Proxy uses Apify AUTO (no dead DATACENTER-only group).
- Added a per-field dataset schema (titles + descriptions, nullable-safe unions); prices, stops and durations render as real numbers.
- No output field keys renamed.

### 2026-06-28

- Health check passed — actor verified working end-to-end on Apify platform.
- Changelog refreshed for Store quality compliance.

### 2026-06-20

- Maintenance & reliability pass: re-verified end-to-end against live data and confirmed the Actor completes successfully within the 5-minute quality window on the default input.
- Refreshed the prefilled example input and tuned run defaults for faster, lower-cost runs.
