All users are encouraged to update to WhatPulse 2.0.4, available on our download page! (pulse before you install)
Here is a full list of the changes:
[Enhancement] Add an option to disable automated pulse notifications
[Enhancement] Blink tray icon on keyboard or mouse option (plus an option to disable that)
[Enhancement] Launch Geek Window on startup when it was open upon closing the client
[Enhancement] Update statistics every second when Geek Window is open
[Enhancement] Don’t show tray notifications when a full screen application is running
[Enhancement] Add the ability to auto detect the system proxy server
[Enhancement] Add total account overview (totals + ranks) to account tab
[Enhancement] Only use database file every 5 minutes, cache everything else. This brings disk I/O usage to a near standstill.
[Enhancement] Make scheduled backups of databases and fall back on backups if main database file gets corrupted
[Fix] Improve accuracy of measuring both uptime and bandwidth
[Fix] Count bandwidth from and to a proxy server in unpulsed stats (was excluded in previous clients)
[Fix] Show more accurate network usage on interface overview
[Fix] Don’t check for updates or internet IP when “Work Offline” is enabled
[Fix] The ‘Year’ option in the keyboard + mouse heat map was not the last 12 months, but the current year

[Linux — Enhancement] Optimize application bandwidth measuring (less CPU)
[Linux — Fix] Some network interfaces were not detected if certain system files did not exist
