PeopleTracker v1.5.1

The tracking ID is now a unique identifier that generates a UUID for each processor instance. This ensures that track IDs generated by different PeopleTracker instances are globally unique. This change prevents conflicts and improves data integrity, particularly for dwell time webhooks that previously showed 0 track IDs.

In previous versions, the value reset after a restart. For example, if you ran the program twice, you might have ended up with two tracking IDs that both had the value 123 for different people. This is no longer the case.

Warning: this may impact you if you were relying on the previous behavior.
