Restored month/year dates in Q&A text. An earlier cleanup pass had deleted every "Month Year" reference from Q&A turns across the whole corpus (e.g. "until the end of December 2017" had become "until the end of "); the data was re-scraped from source to restore them. Q&A text now keeps dates and honorifics verbatim, and only speaker/question labels are stripped.
Fixed the IS/Q&A split for Berlin 2011-10-06: the host welcome address had captured the IS field while President Trichet's introductory statement was mislabelled as Q&A. It is now correctly in intro_paragraphs.
Fixed an off-by-one boundary on 2007-08-02 where the first journalist question had leaked into the introductory statement.
Added is_monetary_policy to flag six non-rate-decision events.
Added ceremonial_paragraphs / n_ceremonial_paragraphs / has_ceremonial_preamble for host welcome addresses and farewell tributes.
Added per-turn lang on qa_turns plus has_non_english / n_non_english_paragraphs for the French passages.
Normalised 17 early conference location values that had captured a weekday or empty string (all Frankfurt-headquarters events) to their correct city.

v1.0

Initial release: 294 conferences, June 1998 – June 2026, with IS/Q&A structure and speaker-role labels.
