## Changelog

Every change to this Actor, with its date.

### Latest changes

  cause `target_suspended`, instead of a missing target.
- 2026-10-04: The Actor version in diagnostics & run reports is now the Apify
  build number.

- Every run uses 256 MB again, which is faster & more reliable for small runs.

- Each of those rows names the reposted post as its source.

### 1.0.71, 2026-10-01

- If Xquik stays busy too long, that target fails & the run says why.
