Changes in version 0.4.0 (2026-05-13)                  

Breaking Changes

  - Removed get_alexa_data() function (Alexa service discontinued by
    Amazon)

Major Changes

  - Removed unused aws.alexa dependency
  - Removed devtools from Imports (incorrect usage)
  - Added modern tidyverse-style API with comprehensive input validation
  - Significant code deduplication through shared helper functions

API Updates

  - Updated virustotal_cat() to use VirusTotal API v3 (previously v2.0)
  - Updated documentation references to v3 API endpoints
  - Fixed virustotal_cat() implementation to properly extract categories
    from v3 API response structure

Improvements

  - All categorization functions now validate inputs with helpful error
    messages using cli package
  - Standardized parameter naming (virustotal_cat now uses 'domains'
    instead of 'domain')
  - Better error messages with clear guidance on how to fix issues
  - Modernized code style (pipes, purrr, tibble internally with
    data.frame output for compatibility)
  - Improved file path handling with informative errors
  - Enhanced rate limiting in LLM functions
  - Cleaner domain preprocessing logic shared across all functions

Internal Changes

  - Added helper functions for common operations:
      - clean_domains() - standardized domain cleaning
      - validate_domains() - comprehensive input validation
      - validate_data_file() - consistent file validation
      - get_api_key() - unified API key retrieval
      - build_categorization_prompt() - LLM prompt construction
      - apply_rate_limit() - rate limiting logic
  - Refactored to use purrr instead of for-loops where appropriate
  - All functions now return tibbles for modern data handling
  - Added checkmate for robust input validation
  - Added readr for faster CSV reading
  - Extracted domain cleaning logic to single function
  - Improved string operations with stringr
  - Removed redundant :: notation for imported functions (cleaner code,
    consistent with @importFrom)

Breaking Changes

  - All categorization functions now return tibbles instead of
    data.frames
  - get_alexa_data() has been removed (service discontinued)
  - Input validation is now stricter (NULL and empty strings are
    properly rejected)
  - virustotal_cat() parameter renamed from domain to domains for
    consistency

                        Changes in version 0.3.0                        

  - NEW: Added LLM-based domain classification with openai_cat() and
    claude_cat() functions
  - Support for OpenAI GPT models and Anthropic Claude models for domain
    categorization
  - Flexible custom category schemas - users can specify their own
    categories or use defaults
  - Consistent API design matching existing *_cat() functions for
    seamless integration
  - Built-in rate limiting and error handling for API calls
  - REMOVED: BrightCloud support due to service unavailability
  - Updated documentation URLs from HTTP to HTTPS where applicable
  - Fixed Shallalist references to reflect service discontinuation

                 Changes in version 0.2.1 (2022-01-15)                  

  - shallalist stopped its service so downloaded latest shalla db and
    changed the URL from which we fetch the shallalist file

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2021-11-04)                  

  - URL fixes. in resubmission now because site from which data was
    downloaded went down which broke some tests

                 Changes in version 0.1.9 (2020-08-11)                  

  - R package supporting headless browsing has been abandoned. So
    removing trusted_cat. Sigh.

                        Changes in version 0.1.8                        

  - Function for checking if domain a university domain using
    https://github.com/Hipo/university-domains-list

                 Changes in version 0.1.7 (2018-01-28)                  

  - Changes due to move to a new repo.
  - Basic brightcloud function added

                        Changes in version 0.1.6                        

  - Adds not_news classifier that classifies not news based on published
    work.
  - passes expect_lint_free

                 Changes in version 0.1.5 (2016-11-03)                  

  - Shallalist and DMOZ data read in with stringAsFactors as FALSE.
  - Swapped the DMOZ data to domain level category data, included
    English translations of non-English categories, quote protection of
    multiple categories.
  - Accounting for changes in RSelenium --- startServer() for instance
    is deprecated. But currently only allow for passing of log for
    trusted_cat.
  - Fixed bug in shalla_cat for multiple domain names arguments
  - Fixed small issue with adult_ml1_cat() whose returned data.frame had
    a column that was a named list. The column is now a vector.
  - If an unknown domain is passed to virustotal, it will return an
    empty data.frame rather than throw an error.

                 Changes in version 0.1.0 (2016-06-16)
