Change log:

CC now collects non-personal usage statistics. The first time you start CC after the upgrade you will see a dialog mentioning this and explaining how to opt out (I hope you don't). See our Privacy Policy for more information.
Add some space between the Read and Delete buttons in Book Details
[BUG FIX]Fix possible generation of an illegal path if a path exceeds the length limits.
[BUG FIX]Really fix the problem where cloud book details might not show all metadata.

The reason for the statistics (analytics): we are at the point where development choices must be better informed by how people really use CC. For example, there is discussion in this thread about how one might improve CC by fullyt integrating the cloud connection. One problem: we don't know with any certainty how many people actually use the cloud connection. We do know that less that 4% of CC users have connected to a library on Dropbox, which implies that usage of the cloud connection is quite low.

I have tried very hard not to collect personal information or even non-personal information that could be aggregated to become personal. I hope that people don't choose to opt out.
