What's new with WhatPulse?

🎉 New Features

• Support for high resolutions on Windows.
• Measure and display the different types of network traffic. This uses a dynamic traffic type database, which can be updated frequently.
• New auto pulse option: pulse on client startup.
• Added buttons to the Advanced settings to manually update the network GeoIP and the Network Port Description database.

📈 Improvements

• With some database magic, the disk usage has been cut in half!

🎉 New Features

• Client API: With the Client API you can programmatically extract real-time data from the client for use in your own program. More on this in a new website called Developer Center, but for now simply point your browser to http://localhost:3490 to discover more (after enabling it in your settings).
• Network: Added a time selector for the traffic types to view a certain time span.
• Network: Allow users to override traffic type description through a custom CSV file (more info on the forums).
• Network: Added a time selector for the per application traffic to view historic application traffic data.
• Mac OS X: New OS X version icons!

📈 Improvements

• Network: Show when testing internet connectivity.
• Windows: Also optimize the Updater for high resolution screens.
• Improve a few interface elements.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Properly display Network Traffic Types for non-premium users during the beta.
• Network: In the per application stats, idle applications could have a rate up to 16TB/s.
• Mac OS X: Fix auto correction for keyboard/mouse access in OS X 10.11.

🎉 New Features

• Traffic Types: Add an option to record unknown traffic (not registered in the network ports CSV) and and disable it by default. This will stop database files growing extensively when using Peer-to-Peer download services.

📈 Improvements

• When using the 'Reset' button, the client now asks which statistic you want to reset instead of resetting all stats. Also fix resetting of per traffic type stats.
• Adjust some interface element sizes (few buttons, some text) to look more spiffier.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix email validation for newer domain extensions.
• Fix unknown key names in an exported CSV file (they were mangled unicode mumbo-jumbo).
• Client API: Fix Pulse function.
• Fixed validation of computer names when creating a new one.

🎉 New Features

• Support for high resolutions on Windows.
• Network Traffic Types: Measure and display the different types (protocols) of network traffic.
• Client API: With the Client API you can programmatically extract real-time data from the client for use in your own program. More on this in a new website called Developer Center, but for now simply point your browser to http://localhost:3490 to discover more (after enabling it in your settings).
• Network: Added a time selector for the traffic types to view a certain time span.
• Network: Added a time selector for the per application traffic and per interface traffic to view historic data, not just real-time.
• Mac OS X: New OS X version icons!
• New auto pulse option: pulse on client startup.
• Added buttons to the Advanced settings to manually update the network GeoIP and the Network Port Description database.

📈 Improvements

• With some database magic, the disk usage has been cut in half! (the WhatPulse client is even lighter now)
• Network: Show when testing internet connectivity.
• Tweak, turn, sprouse and twob a few interface knobs, making it pretty, like Carol.
• When using the 'Reset' button, the client now asks which statistic you want to reset instead of resetting all stats.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Network: In the per application stats, idle applications could have a rate up to 16TB/s.
• Mac OS X: Fix auto correction for keyboard/mouse access in OS X 10.11.
• Fix unknown key names in an exported CSV file (they were mangled unicode mumbo-jumbo).
• Fixed validation of computer names when creating a new one.
• Fix email validation for newer domain extensions.

🎉 New Features

• Mac: Support for macOS Sierra (10.12).
• Windows: New updater to improve future updates and for a better update experience.
• Keyboard Heat-map: Add a view with a table with the key counts.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Pulsing: Fix situations where the client could pulse every minute.
• Make the "I" button clickable again for the window with all the facts.
• Fix premium expiration date presentation.
• Never allow negative application uptime (when a computers clock changes).
• Keyboard Heat-map: Fix the color overlay positioning of the keyboard when switching between regular and with numpad.
• Input - Mouse Heat-map: Show the export button.
• Windows: Better handle hibernation/sleep and make sure the counters are still active.
• Fix the sizes of the dots in the reboot dot chart when there's just 1 day of the week with reboots.

🗑️ Removed

• Remove psvince.dll file from installer (was used to detect if the client is running), some A/Vs seemed to have problems with it.

📈 Improvements

• Show a notice when trying to login to an account which is waiting for activation.

🎉 New Features

• Introducing Milestones: A way to get notifications when you reach certain statistics (e.g. every 1000 keys).
• Add the ability to filter on the type of network traffic; wireless or wired.
• The Windows client will now be signed to validate it's authentic.
• You can now file a bug report straight from the client (Settings tab).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Don't crash on startup when a network issue downloads a corrupted network-ports.csv file.
• Ignore Docker virtual interfaces which prevents the client from using way too much memory when Docker is running.

📈 Improvements

• Don't ever show the updates window when a fullscreen application is active.
• Update our framework to Qt5.7, which solved a few random stability issues.
• Properly scale a few interface elements when using a high resolution screen.

📝 Notes

• After updating, the client might ask for another update. This is known behaviour and will be fixed in the next version.

🎉 New Features

• Show the history of Milestone triggers in the settings page, so you can keep track of when which Milestone triggered.
• Add support for network hardware offloading. This means the client is way more accurate with network bandwidth in certain hardware setups.
• Add support for Win10Pcap (newer modern version of the 3rd party network monitoring) in the client. We're still providing WinPcap with the installer though.

📈 Improvements

• Put the real version number (2.7.2b2) in the title bar and use the confusing one (2.7.1-1431) only under the hood.
• Add local computer info (OS/Hardware details) to get the complete picture when we're troubleshooting.

📝 Notes

• The 'Save' button on the Milestones page is now hidden as the Milestones save instantly and you don't have to use the 'Save' button.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Adjust the height of the Facts window so the letters aren't squished.

🎉 New Features

• The Client API now has a new endpoint (/v1/realtime) to collect realtime information (keys per second, bandwidth, etc).
• Introduce the ability to display a custom message when crossing a Milestone. ("Hey, get some coffee - you've earned it!").
• Start to store the settings on the website, so the client can restore them quickly when installing anew (restore is planned for next version).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Long: There once was a fellow named Bill. Bill had a crew. He and his crew like to patch and break things in their home-brewed operating system they called Windows. This sometimes caused headaches with brethren software developers, like WhatPulse. This release is one of those headaches.
  Short: This fixes inaccurate bandwidth counters in Windows 10.
