## Changelog

### 3.0.0 - 2026-08-29

- Aligned the Actor and Docker image on Firefox/Playwright 1.60, which reliably exposes Startpage's rich structured image payload.
- Added single and fair multi-query modes, native pagination, filters, sorting, stable IDs, canonical deduplication, and exact limits.
- Added numeric file size, MIME type, aspect ratio, megapixels, orientation, source/result provenance, and matched-query fields.
- Removed signed Startpage proxy URLs, fabricated schema promises, empty fields, forced proxy fallback, manual fingerprint overrides, and swallowed fatal failures.
- Added persistent sessions, generated fingerprints, status/content/challenge validation, clean no-results, bounded retries, exact dependencies, tests, and valid Actor schemas.

### 2.1.0 - 2026-06-13

- Added Startpage `images-bing` embedded-data extraction. Superseded by the normalized 3.0 contract.
