0.2.0

Features

• Configurable youtube-dl–compatible backends. youtube-dl is not a hardcoded dependency anymore, dl-plus can now work with any compatible package (that is, any compatible fork), even if its import path is different). As a result, dl-plus no longer installs youtube-dl automatically. The backend can be configured using the --backend command line option or the backend option in the [main] section on the config file (see below). The value is an import path of the backend (e.g., youtube_dl for youtube-dl).
• Configuration file support. The config provides used-defined default values for the command line options (that is, the config options have lower predecence than the command line ones). The default config location is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dl-plus/config.ini (*nix) or %APPDATA%\dl-plus\config.ini (Windows).

Changes

• The generic extractor is no longer included in the :builtins: list. That is, one should use -E :builtins: -E generic to get all built-in extractors.
• Built-in extactors are now grouped by their names splitted by colons. For example, -E twitch is now expanded to a list of all twitch:* extractors (previously, one should specify each twitch:* extractor manually: -E twitch:stream -E twitch:vod -E ...).

Fixes

• youtube-dl config processing was restored. The config was simply ignored in the previous version.

Improvements

• The --extractor and --force-generic-extractor command-line options are mutually exclusive now.
• Added the --dlp-version command-line option to check dl-plus version (the --version option shows the version of the backend).
