- Fixed the "Shuffling..." text on the shuffle button not being reset after a shuffle.
- Added an additional threshold to prevent the API quotas to be used up by channels with too many uploads by accident.
- Added an alert for users of custom API keys when they are shuffling from a channel with 20,000+ uploads, as the YouTube API only provides the most recent 20,000 results.
- Added a small text change to the shuffle button to indicate the shuffle is working in case it takes a bit longer to fetch data from the database.
- Fixed some alignment issues in the extension popup.
- Removed unused code.
- Unfortunately, an attacker has compromised the default API keys provided by the extension. You can read the statement here. These keys have therefore been disabled. You can still use your own custom API key, which is never transmitted to the extension's database and can therefore not be stolen. If you do not have a custom API key, you can generate one here. I will be working on reworking the way in which the extension communicates with YouTube's API to prevent this from happening again. I apologize for the inconvenience.
