## Changelog

### 2026-09-24 (1.0.5)

- Distance search by city name ("Sydney", "Austin, US") and a distance picker, instead of coordinates.
- Columns that belong to an option (emails, team members, office rows, distance, alerts) appear only when that option is on, with a ready dataset view for each.
- Shorter, plainer input descriptions.

### 2026-09-24 (1.0.4)

- Clearer run log: firms without an office address are reported apart from the filters, with how many were found in your countries.

- The logo now sits right after the firm ID, and logos that do not load (broken links and the shared placeholder image) come back empty instead of a broken image.

- Column order: the website link now sits with the other links.

### 2026-09-24

- Initial release: every Xero-certified accounting and bookkeeping firm in the official advisor directory,
  in all 86 countries.
- Firms without an office address are placed by their phone code (area code for +1 numbers) or web domain,
  so country searches do not miss them.
- Filters for country, city, state or postcode, distance around a point, keywords, partner tier, industries
  served, specialist badges, certifications, professional bodies, partner-since years, minimum offices,
  minimum team size, and must-have contact details.
- Email finding on each firm's own website, keeping only the firm's own addresses, with email type and a
  check that the domain receives mail.
- One row per firm or one row per office.
- Alerts for scheduled runs: new firms, or also tier upgrades and downgrades, offices opened or closed,
  team changes, and firms that left the directory.
- Big searches are split automatically to go past the 5,000 results one search returns.
- Free plan runs are locked to a fixed 10 row demo.
