+# Changelog
+
+## 0.2.0
+- `timeout`, `keepAlive` and `userMetadata` are sent to Solari (they were warned about and ignored in 0.1.0). `userMetadata` comes back on `create`, `retrieve` and `list`, and `sessions.list({ q })` filters on it.
+- **A base URL that does not point at Solari is now refused.** `baseURL` and `SOLARI_BASE_URL` must be `https` on `getsolari.com` (or a subdomain) or a loopback address; anything else throws `BrowserbaseError` ("Refusing to send a Solari API key to …"). In 0.1.0 such a URL was used as given, which could send your `slr_` key to another host.
+- Errors use Browserbase's class names: `NotFoundError`, `RateLimitError`, `BadRequestError`, `AuthenticationError`, `PermissionDeniedError`, `ConflictError`, `UnprocessableEntityError`, `InternalServerError` (all `APIError` subclasses), `APIConnectionError` and `APIConnectionTimeoutError`. Network failures used to surface as the raw `fetch` error.
+- A saved context's cookies are also present in the browser's default context (`browser.contexts()[0]`).
+- `viewport` at create remains a documented gap (warns; `strict` throws).
+- Added `NOTICE`; README links to docs.getsolari.com.
+
+## 0.1.0
+- First release.

 ## Differs (documented, not errors)
 - **Recording is a DOM-event log, not video.** `sessions.recording.retrieve(id)` returns rrweb events once the replay has been uploaded (a few seconds after release; until then it throws `APIError` with `code: "ReplayPending"`). There is no HLS playlist and no MP4.
 - **Contexts store cookies and localStorage only** (Playwright `storageState`), not IndexedDB, service workers or autofill data.
-- **No choice of operating system or viewport at create time.** Set the viewport from your automation client.
-- **`keepAlive`**: a disconnected session is released about 45 s after its socket closes (reconnect with the same `connectUrl` inside that window). Sessions end at your plan's maximum session length.
-- **`timeout`, `userMetadata`, `keepAlive: true`, `viewport`, `blockAds: true`, `logSession: true`, `os`** are accepted with a one-line warning and have no effect. Pass `strict: true` to make them throw instead.
+- **No choice of operating system or viewport at create time (known gap).** A `viewport` setting is accepted with a one-line warning and has no effect; set the viewport from your automation client (`page.setViewportSize`). `strict: true` makes it throw instead.
+- **`timeout`, `keepAlive` and `userMetadata` work as in Browserbase.** `timeout` (seconds, at least 60) ends the session at that time, capped at your plan's maximum session length. `keepAlive: true` keeps the session after your client disconnects, until its `timeout` (default 1 hour), the plan maximum, or `sessions.update(..., REQUEST_RELEASE)`. `userMetadata` (up to 50 keys, 8 KB) is stored, returned by `retrieve`/`list`, and filterable with `sessions.list({ q: "user_metadata['key']:'value'" })` (conditions joined with `AND`).
+- **`viewport`, `blockAds: true`, `logSession: true`, `os`** are accepted with a one-line warning and have no effect. Pass `strict: true` to make them throw instead.
