March 5, 2024

🎉 New Features

  • Brazilian Portuguese Language: WhatPulse now includes a Brazilian Portuguese translation, making it more accessible to Portuguese-speaking users. Courtesy of Éder Magalhães Machado.
  • Windows: Allow the installer to install WhatPulse without Administrative permissions.

📈 Improvements

  • Linux: The AppImage will now always load bundled OpenSSL libraries to prevent SSL errors when there's a gap in your OpenSSL version and the one WhatPulse's build with.
  • macOS: Dynamically detect whether the device is Intel or Apple Silicon-based. This means you'll always get the right version when updating.
  • Immediate Tray Icon Update: When you change the color settings, the tray icon will now update right away to reflect the changes.
  • Client API: Ensured that the REST API always returns the JSON format headers, and fix a possible delay when connecting with an IP address that's not in the allowed list.
  • Windows: The installer now consistently uses 'WhatPulse' as its registry key instead of a random GUID. This means the WhatPulse version in the registry is always up to date, meaning apps like UCheck won't be confused about which version is installed.
  • Format the numbers in the keyboard heat maps' hover labels to improve readability.
  • Improve top navigation menu by fixing an issue where only the "Account" tab was showing on initial setup, and removing the help and feedback icons to create more space.
  • Exclude virtual interfaces (docker, other virtualizations) from the computer profiles.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Auto Pulse Settings Disabling Fix: Resolved an issue where disabling auto pulse settings wasn’t being saved correctly.
  • Fix not being able to update input settings (i.e. auto pulse numbers) when the Geek Window was open.
  • Uptime Calendar Bug: Fixed a crash related to fast navigation through the uptime calendar.
  • A fix has been applied to ensure application icons in certain lists are visible on all table rows. Certain systems had the icons inside even rows hidden.
  • A bug that could cause the application to crash if a backup took too long has been fixed.
  • Add a few missing translations. They'd appear as English instead of its translated counterpart.
  • macOS: Fix an issue where the client could crash when the "Launch when computer starts" option is disjointed with reality.
  • Fix an issue where if 'Upload application info' was disabled, it could still send apps data for previously uploaded applications to the time series (so appear in the weekly update).
  • Fix keyboard heat map sharing to your online profile.
