Thanks for your patience. Perhaps for the future: This PR was really huge. I understand that sometimes you cannot prevent this. But multiple smaller PR's go through the review faster than a singe huge one. Perhaps something to keep in mind for future PR's.

Well noted.

Unfortunate circumstance of having to rush out the previous release to beat the previous round of YouTube changes, and subsequent releases adding features while simultaneously trying to keep up with even more YouTube changes, that has only now settled down (until it all starts again).

I'll try to organise things a bit better for future submissions to try and reduce the number of changes coming in one go.
