What's new with WhatPulse?

🎉 New Features

• Added exports of key combinations via the export wizard. 🪄
• Added a banner message when a computer is archived, keeping you informed.
• Added a manual backup trigger in the account tab for added convenience. 🗃️
• Windows: Transitioned to Lostdomain codesign for enhanced stability. This means the permissions pop up will say Lostdomain, instead of WhatPulse. 🔒

📈 Improvements

• Exporting the mouse heat now to match your screen resolution accurately, instead of the smaller image it was previously. 🖥️
• Enhanced link readability in the dark theme. 🎨
• Simplified translation by allowing custom translation files via a command line parameter. 🌍
• Optimized network interface counters for macOS, resulting in better performance and reliability.
• Revived the auto-updating feature for effortless updates. Stay up to date with ease! 🔄

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug causing high CPU usage when a network interface disappears. 💯
• Resolved a bug where the client could crash when resuming from sleep, when networking was enabled and there was a change in the computers' network. 💤
• Resolved an issue where the network interface IP address was not displaying on macOS.
• Custom time periods no longer reset to the last month when refreshing. 📆
• Real-time time period selection now remembers your preference across sessions. ⏳

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 100% CPU bug when a network interface disappears from the system (i.e., USB unplug, removal from docking station). Could happen on Windows and macOS.
• Restart network capture after waking up from sleep to prevent high CPU usage.

🎉 New Features

• Added the ability to send messages from the website to clients. We'll be using this for announcements and notifying clients about issues (like the SSL certificate of a few months ago).
• Windows: Add crash captures, to monitor and troubleshoot client issues.
• Added support for custom translation files via command-line parameters. Useful for when creating new translations, and you want to see it in action.

📝 Notes

• Windows: Moved the Digital Signature of the client from WhatPulse to Lostdomain. You'll see this name in the popup when Windows verifies you want to install the client.

📈 Improvements

• Added text colors of all links to ensure readability in both themes.
• Make the mouse heat map export look better by scaling the heat map points to your monitor resolution.

🎉 New Features

• Make the exported mouse heat map image larger, match the size of the screen resolution
• Add a button in the Account tab to start an online backup manually (premium members)

📈 Improvements

• macOS: Improve network monitoring to use significantly less CPU, and less error-prone to network changes (in and out of docking, manually turning network on and off, etc.)
• Improved the Chinese translation, courtesy of Epoch_SoC

🎉 New Features

• Added exporting of key combinations (including per application) via the Export Wizard

📈 Improvements

• Windows: Move watchdog away from directly connecting to the client (introduced in 5.5b1) to prevent random crashes of the client. Also use built-in Windows methods to protect the client from runaway processes.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a few German translations, courtesy of Nils

🎉 New Features

• Make the setting Automatically install new versions work again, now that the new installer has matured.

📈 Improvements

• Windows: Improve the watchdog to prevent false positives (and the pop-up saying something is wrong with WhatPulse).
• macOS: Add additional safeguards in the networking stats to prevent high CPU usage when the network changes (i.e., sleep, switching to a different network).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Ensure that background data loading that's used for the keyboard heat map doesn't stall. This fixes the issue of the keyboard heat map being blank sometimes.
• Fix an issue where the real-time time period wasn't selected when it remembered the real-time selection from a previous session.
• macOS: Fix not showing network interface IP addresses.
• Selecting a custom time period sometimes resulted in showing data from the last month.

🎉 New Features

• Added a period selection on the Overview tab so you can glance at all your stats in a specific time window.
• Throughout the interface, WhatPulse now remembers the time window you've selected last and shows it again when you re-open the client.

📈 Improvements

• Improved handling of applications that run from network paths. Sometimes it couldn't determine the application name and showed the entire path.
• The WhatPulseMaintenanceTool will no longer be updated every time, which prevents the updater from needing to run twice.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• On the Applications overview of the Uptime tab, duplicate apps might've been listed. Not anymore.
• Additional fixes for network traffic numbers; make sure the Geek Window also shows 6PB+ and correct a miscalculation throughout the interface.
• Sometimes the Input History chart could show the number of keys or clicks from the same hour of the day before. I.e., 10 am today was actually 10 am yesterday.

🎉 New Features

• Brand new real-time network traffic chart

📈 Improvements

• Better network statistics performance, recording higher speeds.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix showing larger total download & upload values than 2.8PB
• Fix crashing bug with automated database backups for certain accounts

📝 Notes

• We've prepared 5.2 for an upcoming website update that is scheduled for March 16th. To ensure uninterrupted pulsing, we encourage all users to upgrade to WhatPulse 5.2 before that date.

🎉 New Features

• Introducing %TodayUptime% as a variable in the Geek Window, which displays today's uptime.

📈 Improvements

• Improved application upload handling, which resolves missing applications on the website.
• Enhanced Geek Window sizing, allowing for a much smaller window size.
• For Premium users, we have improved the weekly online database backups to run in the background, instead of the dedicated backup window.
• Improved mouse distance handling; distances could be too great in some scenarios.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Apple M-CPUs were showing up as 'Apple M1 Ma'.
• Corrected the initial application uptime overview, which was displaying all-time instead of today's data.
• Fixed an issue where pulsing application stats for newly installed clients were not showing up in some cases.
• On macOS 13 and above, we have signed the WhatPulseMaintenanceTool.app, which enables it to run again. Previous versions of macOS may require a reinstallation to activate the updates.

📈 Improvements

• Improved application upload handling, that fixes missing applications on the website.

🎉 New Features

• New network real-time traffic chart! Built from the ground up with a new design. This also fixes the gap in the last minute that could happen in some cases.
• Add %TodayUptime% as a variable to the Geek Window. Translates to today's uptime.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix initial application uptime overview: the selection said today, but the data said all time.
• Fix pulsing application stats for newly installed clients, in some cases.
