[PART1/2] 2019 and 2020. Yesterday and Tomorrow.

I want to make a small recap today, about all the things that happened to the filter projects since 2019 and what's coming next this year! 
Around 1 year ago I made a post regarding the changes I intend to to bring over the year 2019.

Now, one year later we can see these changes and so much more materialised:

- The new tool FilterPolishZ asures high quality filter updates. The aspect system allows me to convey important ingame information to the tool, that is required to make right economy tiering decisions. The automatic economy updates now cover 15+ tierlists, including influenced items, uniques, divination cards, fossils, incubators, currency, oils, scarabs, fragments, prophecies [...]!
- Building up on that: There's hardcore and softcore economy updated filters now! These are updated several times a day, available in FilterBlade and GitHub!
- Advanced veil item handling, advanced prophecy handling, advanced fragment handling, advanced identified item filtering, improved leveling and crafting sections, revamped influenced base treatment and dozens and dozens of other quality of life changes, the filter itself evolved quite a bit over the year!

- FilterBlade allows logging in and sharing savestates. This is a much better way of managing your saves than local saves and was one of the core changes of 2019. 

- The Filters are now available on the item filter ladder! Players can now subscribe to Hardcore and Softcore versions and get updates automatically. 
- FilterBlade can now export your filters to the item filter ladder/your POE account
- Dozens and dozens of improvements to the filterblade workflow, including economy tiering, tierlist toolbars, context menu features, filter verification (if you accidently hide an expensive item, it'll let you know), several new styles, improvements to presets and lots of other new features!
Overall, the number of big features released in 2019, was actually way higher than planned. Thank you all for your generous support. It wouldn't have been possible, without your help, which helped me in funding the infrastructure, upgrades and as a general motivation!
With that said, you might be wondering: what's planned for 2020? Well... I have quite a bit to share and will cover it in the next post this week!
