2.17-Beta4

😤 [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
