About CPE and LMS
The CPE and LMS feed is scraping an Illumeo landing page, not a changelog.
Both entries captured for this product are fragments of the illumeo.com home page rather than release notes: a form gate reading that a download link follows submission, and the hero section's sales pitch about 3,500 courses and no content fees. Neither carries a date, a version or a described change. The product is configured as a static page scrape with no feed URL.
