Pytubefix 1.8.1 Released

Release Notes:

Bugfix - Windows Defender False Positive Correction:

Description:

• We have fixed an issue where Windows Defender was erroneously detecting an executable (executable generated by users) as a trojan malware, resulting in false positives and file blocking. This occurred due to the use of the os.rename() method, which renamed the file to the .mp3 extension, triggering a false alarm.

Resolution:

• To address this issue, we refactored the code to remove the dependency on the os.rename() method, and now the file is not renamed after download but before, without using the os.rename() method.
