v1.6.6 - Let's end this already

Well, it's happening... This is the last release of youtube-search-python. I don't have much to say, I've said everything in #189.

v1.6.1 - Hello, yt-dlp

Hello!

I know it has been 1 day since latest release, but I cannot help myself. This new release is so cool, that I just had to release it.

We have fully ditched PyTube and are now using yt-dlp. It is so much faster and more stable, so you won't have to upgrade PyTube every single month (when YouTube changes something).

I also noticed, this library is almost as popular as youtube-dl itself (youtube-dl is on 927. place).

This library wouldn't exist without everyone's support. Thank you so much, everyone, for using this library and some even contributing to it. ❤️

I know this migration might break some of your projects, but it's long-term the best solution.
Just remove PyTube as dependency from your projects' requirements.txt and replace it with: yt-dlp
You can install yt-dlp using following command pip install yt-dlp

Again, thanks for your support.
