WhatPulse 2.8.2

February 24, 2018

📈 Improvements

  • IMPORTANT: There have been a couple of security updates. First, password handling has been made more accurate and secure (thanks to Caboose700, for reporting it). This will automatically be updated when you log in to our website.

Second, the client to website communication is now encrypted end-to-end. An anonymous reporter (thanks!) brought a scenario to our attention where it was possible to extract data from the back and forth between the client and website. This update prevents those leaks.

For more in depth information about these changes, check our blog.

🎉 New Features

  • Client settings are now saved to the website. When you log in to an existing computer, the client will ask you if you want to apply the existing settings or start anew.
  • When starting a new client for the first time, a small wizard (not Gandalf) will guide you through the settings.
  • When logging into an existing computer, it will now display the totals per stat (previously it started from 0).
  • In all date selectors, the ability to select a custom date range (instead of just today, yesterday, 3 months ago, etc).
  • We're now using the new logo on the client. There are 2 options: a black or white version to best suit your theme.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • On high-resolution screens, the client now looks normal again (instead of HUMONGOUS text and images).
  • In certain situations the keyboard heat map wasn't loading. This has been fixed.
  • On MacOS, the system permission correction sometimes didn't go through properly and you had to do it by hand.
  • Fix the error "drive not found" when a USB disk with an application on it gets ejected.

🎉 New Features

  • There is a refresh icon below the keyboard heat map that spins while the heat map is loading, so you can see when it is doing so.

📈 Improvements

  • Speed up the startup time of the client.
  • Download all files (the network port translation, GeoIP database) over HTTPS.
  • Prepare the client for multiple languages (coming soon).
