v0.1.0-r2

NOTE: This is a re-release of v0.1.0 that fixes critical bugs and some vulnerabilities in the installed dependencies.

This will most likely be the last release of Gizmo Music unless something critical breaks again. It really hurts that this project will no longer be worked on, as it is most definitely my proudest and finest accomplishment to date. I thank from the bottom of my heart the ones that gave it a chance and motivated me through the hardships of maintaining it.
⠀
Seeya later, buddy.

Features

• Gizmo Account; You can now log in with your Gizmo account,
• Autoupdate; The application will automatically look for an update and automatically download it (will have a progress bar indicating the current progress of the download in the top part of the application); Not sure if it works though lmao,
• Notification System; Will inform the user of Autoupdate's progress and greet them when logging in with their Gizmo account,
• Tray Icon; Displays the current version, a button to hide the application without stopping media playback and a button to completely quit the application,
• Shuffle; Will pick a random song off your playlist,
• Clear Playlist; Located in the playlist window and will completely erase your playlist,
• Previous/Next Buttons; Located in the control buttons row (removed the stop button 'cause it was pretty useless),
• Media volume is now saved,
• Windows Resizing; You can freely resize the main and playlist window (main window doesn't really have full support for window scaling though; useful for viewing a long playlist),
• Install location was moved to Program Files but the savefile location will remain the same,
• Opening a second instance of the application will just re-focus the already-running instance of it instead of opening another one,

Experimental
