## 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

- **Empty input now returns data.** Removed the required fields (`required: []`); if no locations are given, the actor now returns current + 7-day forecast weather for a set of major world cities (London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, Los Angeles, Singapore).
- Added **Temperature Unit** dropdown (Celsius / Fahrenheit) and **Wind Speed Unit** dropdown (km/h, m/s, mph, knots).
- Output quality: all numeric fields (`latitude`, `longitude`, `temperature`, `temperatureMax`, `temperatureMin`, `precipitation`, `windSpeed`, `humidity`, `weatherCode`, `population`) are now real numbers instead of strings — matches the `number` column formats.
- Added `weather_code` + human-readable conditions to daily summary rows (previously only on hourly rows).
- Proxy: the previously-unused proxy field is now actually wired in as Apify Proxy AUTO, with a direct-connection fallback on the final retry (public API). Renamed the input key `proxy` → `proxyConfiguration` (this was an unused input, not an output field).
- If both hourly and daily are disabled, daily is used automatically so a run never returns empty.
- Added a ~4-minute time budget across locations — pushes what was collected and exits successfully.
- Dataset schema: added per-field `fields` JSON schema (titles + descriptions). Output & dataset schemas linked in `.actor/actor.json`.
- No existing output field keys were renamed.
