## Changelog

### 0.2 (November 2026)

- **Summary columns** with one value each: `registrationNumber`, `registrationType`, `vatNumber`, `vatValid`,
  `officialName` (from VIES), `email`, `phone`, `street`, `postalCode`, `city`. New **Summary** view for spreadsheets
  and CSV. The existing fields and the Overview view are unchanged.
- **More VAT numbers for Belgium and France**: worked out from the enterprise number or SIREN on the site and returned
  only when VIES confirms them (`derivedFrom`). French websites in the test sample with a registration number:
  32% → 42%, with a VAT number: 25% → 32%.
- **VIES checks are more patient**: a busy member state (France at peak times) is asked again with growing pauses; if
  it keeps refusing, its numbers are skipped for a few minutes instead of slowing down the whole run. Unanswered checks
  stay free.
- **Hosting providers** named in a legal notice are no longer mistaken for the company: their numbers go to
  `serviceProviders`.
- Better recognition of registration numbers: Dutch "onder nummer … ingeschreven in het handelsregister", French
  "R.C.S. de \[city] B …" over two lines and "Trade and Companies Register", Austrian "FN542051i".

### 0.1 (October 2026)

- First version: registration numbers (NL, BE, DE, AT, CH, FR), EU VAT numbers checked in VIES, address, role e-mail
  addresses, landline numbers, social profiles; robots.txt and TDM opt-outs respected; Google Maps integration.
