To re-build after the new release of You-Get:

Make sure the scripts of this repository is up to date:

If You-Get modified the src/you_get/extractors/__init__.py and I have not followed up and submitted in time, you need to manually edit repository/_extractors/__init__.py according to this .
Run devscripts/update.bat .
(It also reads the proxy settings from devscripts/use-proxy.conf )
Run build.bat.
