+## 0.25.0
+
+Upgrade notes for configs and integrators targeting gem **0.25.0**:
+
+1. **Removed `link` selector alias** — Custom selector configurations must use the canonical `url` key. The legacy `link` selector alias and exclusivity checks have been removed.
+2. **`auto` article limit (`--limit N`)** — Discovery now supports a configurable article limit (`--limit N` CLI flag, default `20`) and `Html2rss.auto_source(url, limit: 20)` in Ruby.
+3. **Channel metadata in `auto`** — `auto_source` automatically extracts channel-level `author` and `image` (favicon, touch-icon, or OpenGraph images) from the host page.
+4. **Actionable `NoFeedItemsExtracted` error** — `auto` mode fails loud with diagnostic surface classifications (blocked surface, app-shell, unsupported extraction surface) when zero items are found.

 When upgrading to modern `html2rss` releases:
 
-1. **Rename date selectors**: Ensure date selectors use `published_at` rather than `updated` or `pubDate`.
-2. **Move channel-level transport keys**: Ensure `strategy` and `headers` are defined at the top level of the YAML file.
-3. **Pin Browserless when needed**: If you relied on `auto` falling through to Browserless, set `strategy: browserless` (or `--strategy browserless`).
-4. **Use `enclosure` for RSS media**: Do not rely on `image` becoming an RSS `<enclosure>`; select podcast/media URLs with `enclosure`.
-5. **Prefer `feed_result` for dual-format / cache**: Integrators that need RSS + JSON Feed from one scrape (or Marshal caching) should use `Html2rss.feed_result` and `status.to_h`.
-6. **Validate configurations**: Run `html2rss validate config.yml` to ensure your YAML conforms to the current schema.

+You can also restrict the maximum number of discovered articles via the `limit:` keyword argument in Ruby (`Html2rss.auto_source(url, limit: 10)`) or the `--limit` CLI flag.
 
 **`json_state` Limitations:** the scraper requires discoverable arrays of hashes containing clear `title` and `url` fields. Minified or
 obfuscated state objects, heavily encoded values, or blobs that require executing embedded functions are ignored.
