v2.0.0

New Features

• Interactive Music Controls: New UI buttons for Pause, Resume, Skip, Stop, and Queue displayed directly in Discord messages alongside the Now Playing embed
• Playlist Support: Full support for YouTube playlists with parallel batch processing (3 at a time) and real-time progress updates
• New Commands:

Improvements

• Video Caching: LRU cache (up to 50 entries) for video metadata to reduce redundant yt-dlp API calls
• Memory Optimization: Automatic cleanup of large video metadata fields (formats, thumbnails, captions, subtitles) after playback starts to reduce memory footprint
• Better Error Handling: Specific error messages for age-restricted, unavailable, and private videos across all commands
• Playlist Progress Tracking: Real-time status updates every 15 videos when loading large playlists, including counts of skipped/age-restricted videos
• Optimized Voice Client: Improved FFmpeg reconnect options and better state management for paused/playing transitions
• Garbage Collection: Explicit gc.collect() calls after stop and clear operations to free memory promptly
• Minimal Intents: Disabled members and presences intents for better performance and reduced permissions required

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where a paused voice client would not stop properly before starting new playback
• Fixed queue display truncating titles at 60 characters and showing up to 10 items with overflow count
• Improved handling of playlists with no valid entries
