Release v2.9.0 to include YouTube @handle support #866

Description

Summary

The main branch has several useful improvements since the last release (v2.8.0, July 2025) that are not yet available in a tagged release, most notably YouTube @handle URL support (commit 77786cf).

What's missing from users on v2.8.0

  • YouTube @handle support (77786cf) — https://www.youtube.com/@ChannelHandle URLs return unsupported link format, forcing users to manually look up the channel/UC... ID as a workaround.
  • no_listing option to disable directory indexing (5eb0462)
  • no_index option to block search engine crawlers (51f8da8)

Impact

Users who configure a feed with a @handle URL (the format YouTube itself promotes) get a silent failure on every update cycle. The fix is already merged and working in main.

Request

Please cut a v2.9.0 release from the current main branch so users can get these fixes via a stable tagged image (ghcr.io/mxpv/podsync:v2.9.0) rather than having to pin to :nightly.

Thank you for maintaining this project!
