Overview
This is probably the biggest update to the addon so far. Here are the highlights:
- The UI has been completely rewritten by @ericmatte to be more clean, space efficient, and visially streamlined. Thanks a ton for the contribution!
- New options have been added to ignore snapshots the addon didn't create and snapshots created form the supervisor's new "snapshot on upgrade" feature. If you turn it on, snapshots already backed up to Google Drive won't be "ignored" until you delete the snapshot in Google Drive but it will apply to all future snapshots it sees.
- A bunch of unused options were removed form the addon's configuration to make it work correctly with the supervisor's new visual addon configuration editor. Its still reommended to change addon settings from thin the addon's web-UI because this addon has a lot of configuration options!
- A bunch of quality-of-life improvements were made to how the andle handles flaky connections to Google Drive.
