What's new with WhatPulse?

🎉 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.

🎉 New Features

• Introducing Milestones: A way to get notifications when you reach certain statistics (e.g. every 1000 keys) and notify that you've earned some coffee.
• Add the ability to filter on the type of network traffic; wireless or wired.
• Add support for network hardware offloading. This means the client is way more accurate with network bandwidth in certain hardware setups.
• The Client API now has a new endpoint (/v1/realtime) to collect real-time information (keys per second, bandwidth, etc.).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix network latency spikes (slowness) on Mac OS 10.11+ when using wireless only.
• Don't crash on start-up 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.
• Adjust the height of the Facts window so the letters aren't squished.
• Fix sharing keyboard and mouse heat maps on the website.

📈 Improvements

• Prevent the client from locking up when loading keyboard heat map data, when there is a lot of data.
• Don't ever show the updates window when a full screen application is active.
• Update our framework to Qt 5.9, which solved a few random stability issues.
• Properly scale a few interface elements when using a high resolution screen.
• Start to store the client settings online, so the client can restore them quickly when installing anew (restore is planned for next version).
• Add "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to the Client API headers, so JavaScript can be used to query it.

📝 Notes

• Linux: Please update to the latest stable OpenSSL version for your distro, otherwise the client will not work.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Windows: Fix crashes every 17 minutes. This was caused by the database backup which was not handling itself well with the backend updates.
• Windows: Fix network monitoring on some systems. The monitor did not get a proper network interface name which it could use to monitor, so the monitoring itself did not start at all. Fixed this by translating improper network interface names into proper names which can be used.

🎉 New Features

• You can now select a custom date and time to view historic stats.
• Start using the our new logo as the system icons.

📈 Improvements

• The client now talks more efficiently and secure to the website.
• Speed up the initial start of the client.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix sporadic not refreshing of keyboard heat maps (also add a manual refresh button).
• Windows: Fix "no such drive" errors when running a program from USB and then removing the USB drive
• Windows: Fix the UI on high resolution screens, have it be normal size instead of tiny or humongous.

🎉 New Features

• Mac OS: Add support for Mac OS 10.13.
