Fixed errors in detail-page parsing caused by upstream changes on the Austrian Parliament website.
ParlAT 0.0.5
get_item_details() now accepts votes = TRUE by default and returns vote information from National Council item pages in a votes list-column. Set votes = FALSE to omit vote extraction.
get_item_details() now returns the raw item and document type codes as item_type and type_doc.
get_item_details() now returns the human-readable document type as type_doc_long instead of type.
get_item_details() now returns the legislative period as legis_period instead of gp_code.
ParlAT 0.0.4
Bug fixes
get_items(): Restored fallback mappings for legacy and renamed Parliament API export columns (his_url, personen, fraktionen, themen, sw, gp_code, nrbr), ensuring live queries return stable item_url, topic, keyword, person, parliamentary group, and institution columns (#27).
get_plenary_meeting_details(): Fixed handling of sparse plenary meetings that are missing speakers, decisions, or timeline data.
Live API testing: Updated the scheduled workflow against master, and relaxed the duplicate-row assertion for get_items() to reflect non-deterministic upstream duplicates.
Documentation
get_mps(): Documented inclusive date boundary edge case.
ParlAT 0.0.3
Breaking changes
get_plenary_sessions() has been renamed to get_plenary_meetings() to align with the Austrian Parliament API terminology.
get_item_details(): Retrieve detailed information for parliamentary items, including speech/debate data extraction and stage-level metadata.
get_plenary_meeting_details(): Retrieve detailed data for individual plenary meetings, with support for both URL-based and parameter-based input.
Enhancements
get_items(): Significant performance improvements and better handling of compact vs. sparse API export rows. Added CLI progress messages for long-running requests.
get_mps(): New date column in output when date parameter is provided. Improved documentation for gender and mandate_detail fields.
get_mandates(): Enforced mutual exclusivity of name and pad_intern parameters with clearer documentation.
Internal changes
Removed tidyselect from dependencies.
Removed R/sysdata.rda.
R CMD check compliance: replaced T/F with TRUE/FALSE, converted \dontrun{} to \donttest{}, fixed non-ASCII string literals.
Expanded test coverage for new and existing functions.

ParlAT 0.0.2
Minor improvements to input checks and error handling in several data retrieval functions.
Progress messages during longer requests are now shown with cli, for more consistent feedback.
Tests were significantly expanded and cleaned up to improve package reliability.
