😤 [2.17] MAJOR New Feature: Remote filter Update Without Needing Update
- The program will now automatically go and check the GitHub repo to see if there is a new version of filter_variables.py
- A full program update is no longer required to update the filters, which will make it much easier to make small and/or faster filter improvements
🎉 [2.17] New Features:
-
Multi-Variable Spam Checking
- The program now has new filtering functions that can check more complex spam patterns
-
New Fuzzy Duplicate Detection
- The program now uses the "RapidFuzz" module which can be many times faster than the previous method, meaning duplicate comments will be scanned MUCH faster
-
Channel ID Lookup Tool
- There is a new main menu option for "helpful tools". The only one right now allows you to retrieve the Channel ID for a channel by providing a YouTube video URL for that channel.
📈 [2.17] Other Improvements
-
Improved update checking method should allow you to still be notified of the latest beta version, even if there was a stable release of the previous version after it
-
Add support for YouTube @ handles
-
Added automatic retry of downloads (program or list updates) on fail, using alternative download method
⚠️ [2.17] Other Notable Changes
