 We follow [youtube-dl's policy](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#can-you-add-support-for-this-anime-video-site-or-site-which-shows-current-movies-for-free) to not support services that is primarily used for infringing copyright.

+# AUTOMATED CONTRIBUTIONS (AI / LLM) POLICY
+
+Please refrain from submitting issues or pull requests that have been generated by an LLM or other fully-automated tools. Any submission that is in violation of this policy will be closed, and the submitter may be blocked from this repository without warning.
+
+If you submit an issue, you need to understand what your issue description is saying. You need to be able to answer questions about your bug report or feature request. Using an AI tool to *proofread* your issue/comment text is acceptable. Using an AI tool to *write* your issue/comment text is unacceptable.

+If you submit a pull request, you need to understand what every line of code you've changed does. If you can't explain why your PR is doing something, then do not submit it. Using an AI tool to generate entire lines of code is unacceptable.
+
+The rationale behind this policy is that automated contributions are a waste of the maintainers' time. Humans spend their time and brainpower reviewing every submission. Issues or pull requests generated by automation tools create an imbalance of effort between the submitter and the reviewer. Nobody learns anything when a maintainer reviews code written by an LLM.
+
+Additionally, AI-generated code conflicts with this project's license (Unlicense), since you cannot truly release code into the public domain if you didn't author it yourself.

 The `pending-fixes` label is added when there are changes requested to a PR. When the necessary changes are made, the label should be removed. However, despite our best efforts, it may sometimes happen that the maintainer did not see the changes or forgot to remove the label. If your PR is still marked as `pending-fixes` a few days after all requested changes have been made, feel free to ping the maintainer who labeled your issue and ask them to re-review and remove the label.

 # To create a release, dispatch the https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/actions/workflows/release.yml workflow on master

+### 2025.10.22
+
+#### Important changes
+- **A stopgap release with a *TEMPORARY partial* fix for YouTube support**
+Some formats may still be unavailable, especially if cookies are passed to yt-dlp. The ***NEXT*** release, expected very soon, **will require an external JS runtime (e.g. Deno)** in order for YouTube downloads to work properly. [Read more](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404)
+- **The minimum *required* Python version has been raised to 3.10**
+Python 3.9 has reached its end-of-life as of October 2025, and yt-dlp has now removed support for it. [Read more](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/13858)
