# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [1.4.3] - 2025-08-20 ### Added - Cached IP info helper for region detection - New `get_cached_ip_info()` with 24h cache and provider rotation (ipinfo/ipapi) with 429 handling. - Reduces external calls and stabilizes non-proxy region lookups for caching/logging. ### Changed - DRM decryption selection is fully configuration-driven - Widevine and PlayReady now select the decrypter based solely on `decryption` in YAML (including per-service mapping). - Shaka Packager remains the default decrypter when not specified. - `dl.py` logs the chosen tool based on the resolved configuration. - Geofencing and proxy verification improvements - Safer geofence checks with error handling and clearer logs. - Always verify proxy exit region via live IP lookup; fallback to proxy parsing on failure. - Example config updated to default to Shaka - `unshackle.yaml`/example now sets `decryption.default: shaka` (service overrides still supported). ### Removed - Deprecated parameter `use_mp4decrypt` - Removed from `Widevine.decrypt()` and `PlayReady.decrypt()` and all callsites. - Internal naming switched from mp4decrypt-specific flags to generic `decrypter` selection. ## [1.4.2] - 2025-08-14 ### Added - **Session Management for API Requests**: Enhanced API reliability with retry logic -
