Generated from: yt-dlp/yt-dlp@36b92b4

A description of the various files is in the README

The zipimport Unix executable and release tarball contain code licensed under ISC and MIT. The PyInstaller-bundled executables are subject to these and other licenses, all of which are compiled in THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt

Important changes

• Security: Old yt-dlp executables are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks
  • A man-in-the-middle/MITM attack is when your internet traffic is intercepted by an attacker that impersonates the website(s) you browse and sends you malicious data instead.
  • If you think you may be targeted by such an attack, it is strongly recommended to avoid using the self-updater (e.g. the -U, --update, --update-to command-line options), and instead manually download and install this release's executable.
  • For more details, see the certifi security advisory
