2.17.1

😤 [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

• Updated requirements.txt because a package was renamed and was causing errors. If using python version, you may need to do pip uninstall python-levenshtein then pip install --upgrade levenshtein

🟢 2.17.0 → 2.17.1:
