By now, most of you must be aware of the youtube-dl repo on Github being suspended because of a DMCA notice. Team NewPipe member @TheAssassin has written a detailed analysis of the situation. You can find the article on his blog!
Update (2020-11-24): youtube-dl’s repository has been restored, thanks to the EFF. @TheAssassin posted an update, explaining what happened in the meantime, and reviewing the situation again.

So this is a “hot” fix, as they say. Since the previous post was so long (too long) this will be positively tiny in comparison. Let’s dive right into it.
NewPipe 0.20.0 released: Reworked UI, Unified Player, MediaStyle Notifications
04 Oct 2020, by Opusforlife & Poolitzer
Hey there, NewPipers! It’s been quite long since the last release. But for good reason: This release comes with quite major changes to the way NewPipe works, visibly as well as under the hood.
Happy fifth Birthday NewPipe!!!

Dear NewPipers, NewPipe Users, Hello World!
It’s a weird time right now. Many things have changed and don’t work like they used to before. However, NewPipe and the NewPipe project just continue like nothing happens. NewPipe constantly gets bigger and better. People keep working on it and organize the project like COVID-19 doesn’t exist. For example, just a week ago we had the very first developer video call and, just one week before that, NewPipe hit number one trending on Hackernews. Next to all of these things going on one might be tempting to forget: NewPipe is turning five years old today!
