## Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented here.

### v0.3.3-beta.0 - 2026-07-15

#### Added

- Added `onlyPostsNewerThan` as the explicit inclusive lower Facebook timestamp boundary.
- Added `onlyPostsOlderThan` as the exclusive upper boundary for bounded date-range collection.
- Added validation for conflicting aliases and empty or reversed date intervals.

#### Compatibility

- Kept `sinceDate` as a backward-compatible API alias for `onlyPostsNewerThan`.

### v0.3.2-beta.1 - 2026-07-14

#### Documentation

- Rebuilt the Store README around quick start, all-photo differentiation, measured validation, run recipes, pricing, troubleshooting, and clear public-only boundaries.
- Added complete REST, Python, Node.js, CLI, schedule, webhook, and Apify MCP integration examples.
- Expanded AI-agent selection and post-run validation guidance.
- Published the measured 2,200-post release validation summary without internal cost data.

#### Changed

- Refined Actor and input-schema descriptions for latest-post monitoring, historical backfills, hidden `+N` photo recovery, and agent discovery.

### v0.3.2-beta.0 - 2026-06-28

#### Changed

- Suppressed the generic "Returned fewer posts than requested" warning for healthy boundary completions such as `complete_until_known_post` and `complete_until_since_date`.

#### Changed

- Added explicit `blocked_login_wall` run diagnostics when Facebook returns a temporary login wall during public group bootstrap.

#### Documentation
