v0.9.9

Performance Improvements

• Reorder layout to make it flat and remove replace some relative Layouts. Especially the following changes made a difference
• Move some costy calculation from handleStreamInfo to a background thread. Especially Html.fromHtml used much CPU time.
• The same for the handleStreamInfo call in VideoDetaiLFragment.onActivityBackPressed.

Improvements

• Replace self-written logic to format duration strings with String.format calls. I removed the leading zeros for the first number. (e.g 01:20 ➡️ 1:20)
• Removed unused code parts
• several smaller things

The APK attached here is for debug purposes, the recommended way to get NewPipe is from F-Droid.
If you insist in installing this release, keep in mind these problems:

• The APK signature of this release is different from other sources (e.g. F-Droid), this implies that, if the current install is from another source, you WILL have to uninstall the current version and then install this one
