## 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.
- Declared 19 dataset fields from typed live cloud samples so the output contract is no longer an empty placeholder.
- Declared 19 nullable dataset fields from typed live cloud samples so the output contract is no longer an empty placeholder or brittle to sparse modes.

### 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

- **Runs with empty input.** `searchUrls` is now optional. When it is empty the
  Actor builds a search from the new City / Property type pickers, so an empty
  `{}` input returns recent apartment listings for Berlin (newest first) instead
  of erroring.
- **New dropdown inputs:** `city` (30 major German cities), `category`
  (apartments / WG rooms / 1-room flats / houses), `rentType` (any / permanent /
  temporary) and `sortBy` (newest, rent ↑/↓, size, rooms). Free-text `searchUrls`
  still works for reusing on-site filters.
- **No mandatory filters:** removed the hard `throw` on missing `searchUrls`;
  `required` is now empty.
- **Graceful & bounded:** added a ~4-minute time budget — long city crawls now
  push what they collected and exit SUCCESS instead of timing out. Top-level
  errors are logged, not hard-thrown.
- Kept all existing output field keys unchanged (numbers stay real numbers).

### 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.
