A More Functional and Beautiful Tube Converter 🛠️⭐

We are more than pleased to introduce version 2023.6.0 of Tube Converter!

We have been hard at work implementing many new features, configuration options, user interface improvements, and plenty of bug fixes for this update. It's too much to summarize here so I urge you to read the full changelog for all the changes.

I'd like to especially thank @fsobolev (my right-hand man), @soumyaDghosh (our wonderful snap maintainer), @DaPigGuy (our continuous tester and feature implementer), and all of the other testers, contributors and especially translators who put in countless time to make Tube Converter be the best that it can be! We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of your support ❤️
