What's new with WhatPulse?

🎉 New Features

• Add navigation links to the feedback form and help center for easy access.

📈 Improvements

• Improve Geek Window position tracking with multiple monitors.
• Make it easier to change the Geek Window font size.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Input and Network applications could show less stats then recorded when applications have multiple different folders from where it runs. An example is Discord.

🎉 New Features

• Linux support for mouse scrolls and distance
• MacOS 13 (Ventura) support

📈 Improvements

• Throttle mouse scroll counts with a maximum of 4 per second. This will make the stat feel more accurate.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Sometimes the client would not start on Windows with a non-administrator account and when 'Run as Administrator' was enabled.
• Fix remembering the Geek Window position between sessions.
• The installer now checks whether the Visual Studio Redistributable (the popup when installing or updating WhatPulse) is installed and if so, don't attempt to install it again.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Another mouse distance fix for specific Windows versions

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed mouse distances sometimes not showing, or showing ridongculous high numbers.

🎉 New Features

• Added per-application support for mouse scrolls and distance
• Added support for mouse scrolls and distance on the Input History table page

📝 Notes

• Reset application names that were named "ҽﻯ" on beta 1

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix application icons on macOS that are displayed on the per-application pages
• Run on lower than Windows 10, without giving the error prompt about not finding GetDpiForSystem. Mouse distance depends on this, meaning mouse distance only works on Windows 10 or above.

📈 Improvements

• Minor interface tweaks (i.e., unpulsed clicks are back on the overview, the toggle element has been reworked, things like that)

🎉 New Features

• Upload the computer profile (specs, hardware) after pulsing if the website doesn't have a profile. Speeds up the computer profile visibility.
• Add a setting to toggle between imperial and metric mouse distances

📈 Improvements

• Don't shuffle tabs when saving the settings, making the page jump.
• Make the 'More Details' link white and use better table row colors in dark mode
• Remove an extra click when logging in and restoring client settings. Less clicks is more!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix the percentage calculation of the mouse button with low numbers. Sometimes the middle button showed 1% with 0 clicks.
• Fix application name discovery on non-English Windows systems

🎉 New Features

• Support for mouse distance and scrolls!

• Mouse distance is tracked in inches and translated into your native measurements (metric or imperial)
• Scrolls are counted for all directions: up, down, left, and right
• Redesigned the mouse details page to fit the new metrics
• Support for Windows and macOS first

• Add support for hourly mouse coordinate exports
• Add a startup parameter to get the current client version:

• For example: .\WhatPulse.exe --version

📈 Improvements

• Redesigned the tray menu colors to match the rest of the client
• Update process streamlines:

• Make it completely automatic (removed the 'do you want to quit' message)
• Fix starting the client again after the update completes

• Modernize the software framework

• Move Windows client to use 64bit only
• Upgrade Qt from v5 to v6
• This might not mean much to you, but this prepares the client for the future, making it faster and easier to develop.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix mouse coordinate exports. In some cases the results were 0x0 instead of the resolution coordinates (i.e., 1021x879)
• Linux: fix detecting touchpad gestures as (many) clicks in some scenarios

📈 Improvements

• Fix navigation menu icon size when system scaling is more than 150%

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Mouse Heat Map could show only top left clicks in certain situations.
• Sometimes the Russian language didn't show in the options.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• The mouse heat map could show a red dot after playing certain games. These games lock the cursor in the center of the screen. WhatPulse now ignores these clicks on the heat map.
• Networking stats on Windows could stop collecting after a computer wakes up from sleep.

📈 Improvements

• WhatPulse needs certain macOS system permissions to measure network traffic, and sometimes macOS overrules those permissions, stopping the network stats. We've improved the handling of these permissions, making them permanent.
• There's no longer a popup when you run WhatPulse as an administrator, and running as an administrator is now the default. This will make sure we count all applications.

🎉 New Features

• Remote Desktop & Virtual Machine Support for keys and clicks, networking and uptime were already supported.
• A way to upload your computer hardware changes directly to the website via the Settings tab under the Advanced button.
• Add Russian to the available languages.
• Add translations for the facts in German, Spanish, Polish, and Slovak.

🎉 New Features

• An "Auto Detect" option to select the right theme based on your system setting
• Fact translation. Arabic, French, Dutch, and Chinese are done, other languages will follow.
• The ability to search for applications in the keyboard heat map application dropdown.
• Added an AppImage format to the Linux distribution.

📈 Improvements

• Several design tweaks. Like fancy new drop downs, padding around the checkboxes to make them more readable, soft rounded buttons, and more.
• Measure uptime per hour. This is going to be used in the weekly update soon, stay tuned!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Sometimes the list of database backups to restore was empty. Fixed that.
• Fixed Linux online database backups.
• Premium status could sometimes expire in the client. It wasn't refreshing the end date correctly.
• Fixed SSL errors with the Linux client, that prevented logging in, pulsing, etc.
• New v4.0 installs sometimes complained about a missing MSVCP140_1.dll file.
