[1.1.0] — 2026-04-13

Interactive mode: run without arguments for a guided step-by-step setup (credentials, format, sort, filters — all prompted with defaults).
Environment variable support: set STEAM_API_KEY and STEAM_ID to skip typing credentials every run; works in both CLI and interactive modes.
JSON export: --format json writes a structured JSON array alongside the existing CSV support.
Sort options: --sort playtime|name|metacritic|reviews to control output order (default: playtime descending).
Min-playtime filter: --min-playtime N skips games with fewer than N hours played.
Progress with ETA: each game now shows elapsed time and estimated time remaining during export.
Export summary: after writing, prints total playtime, played/unplayed counts, average Metacritic score, and top genres.
--version flag: prints the current version and exits.

--key and --steamid are no longer required when their corresponding environment variables are set.
Default output filename adapts to format: steam_library.csv or steam_library.json.

steam_export.py: CLI tool to export a Steam library to CSV with 24 columns of metadata.
Pulls data from four APIs: Steam Web API, Steam Store API, Steam Reviews API, and SteamSpy.
--key, --steamid, --output, --limit, and --no-steamspy CLI flags.
Rate-limiting delays (1.5 s / Store, 1.0 s / SteamSpy) to respect upstream limits.
requirements.txt pinning requests>=2.28.0.
.gitignore covering common Python artefacts and sensitive credential files.
README.md with badges, usage examples, output column reference, and performance notes.
__version__ constant (1.0.0) in steam_export.py.
