# 0.2.8 — 2026-03-24

## Added

- Default `select` fields per entity type — search queries now return a curated subset of fields automatically, preventing 20-70KB-per-record responses from overwhelming context windows
- Source journal name (`primary_location.source.display_name`) included in `openalex_search_entities` formatted text output

## Changed

- `select` parameter description updated — searches apply sensible defaults; pass `select` to override. Single-entity lookups by ID still return full records unless `select` is specified.
