• Import & Export Improvements: supports HTML files, multiple input files, compressed JSON, date-range filtering, and directory imports.
• Search Sorting & JSON Output: added sorting by newest date, domain, or most visited pages, and a format=json parameter to the search endpoint.
• History RSS Feed: the history endpoint and UI now expose an RSS feed for recently indexed documents.
