• NEW: Support for short offline interruption, so if user gets offline and online again (for example due to rebooting the console) during the next OFFLINE_INTERRUPT seconds (configurable in .py file, by default 7 mins) then we set online start timestamp back to the previous one + we also keep stats from the previous session (like total time and number of played games)
• IMPROVE: Information about log file name visible in the start screen
• IMPROVE: Rewritten get_date_from_ts(), get_short_date_from_ts(), get_hour_min_from_ts() and get_range_of_dates_from_tss() functions to automatically detect if time object is timestamp or datetime

• IMPROVE: In case of getting an exception in main loop we will send the error email notification only once (until the issue is resolved)
• IMPROVE: Exception handling for function converting the timezone
• IMPROVE: Last seen info has been removed as it is redundant and already covered by other part of the code (last time user was available)
