😤 [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.
