Changelog:

• Fix: No longer send possible sensitive metrics data, now only a random UUID and the version that was downloaded gets logged.

What data did youtube-dl-gui collect before?

Before this update, your cpu model, amount of system memory, platform, language and version got logged.
After a fork from @Gambloide I realised that this is a bad thing to do.
That's why I have limited the data to a version number and a random UUID. All previously recorded data has been destroyed.
I have chosen to still log the above mentioned data, because these numbers really motivate me to work on this project.

If you are using this version please update to version 1.8.4 or higher due to broken auto-updating
