This was a great feature , especially when leveling a new character. I don't really understand what could go wrong with it and every patch I've been praying for it to come back. Does it have anything to do with detection (which I highly doubt) or should I do something with it to make it work again ?
Why isn't the gem leveler working for such a long time?

It does work it just a little buggy. Go to your puglins tab and make sure its enabled then highlight it (can be a little tricky sometimes) and click config in there you should see a bunch of gems now you need to hit the reload button exit out of the config and go back into it. You should see an updated list of your gems on your character and it should be working now. If you unclick the enable beside a gem it will stop them from leveling that specific gem.
It started having problems when a GUI was added to make it easier to use. The GUI needs to use the API from outside the bot thread, which posses problems because a thread safe API that works out of process with the client is pretty complex. It's also why the bot doesn't handle changing characters and reloading settings correctly either. The information needed for that stuff, is not valid at certain points in time, so you have to cache the info until it's available again. When it is available, the bot might already be doing things using the old settings. It's a bit of a mess to work around, so that's why it's not fixed yet; it requires changing how some of the GUI stuff works.
When it comes to the Gem Leveler, as long as you don't change your gems around (restart the bot if you do), all you have to do is uncheck all gems and the plugin, then recheck the ones you want and it should start working again. That is the best work around for now, as while a better Gem Leveler is certainly desired, there's a lot of other things that are being worked on instead that would be much better to have working (next beta includes some of them if you check revision guide).
The Item Filter editor is the other thing that is in need of some reworking. We haven't forgotten about them or are just ignoring those issues, but priority wise, trying to address the bigger issues that affect the bot in much more significant ways takes precedence. That, and the fact PoE is rolling out patches as frequntly as they do forces us to spend more time in maintenance and compatibility areas rather than just being able to improve existing features.

Try clicking config again, or restart the bot. I just checked mine, and it threw an exception the first time I clicked the button, but it loaded the gui fine on the second time. Make sure the bot isn't running when you go to configure the plugin either.
