What's new with WhatPulse?

🎉 New Features

• Support for dvorak and azerty keyboard layouts in the keyboard heat map.

📈 Improvements

• Upload new applications every 5 minutes instead of every 15 minutes so it appears on the website quicker.
• Remove the application information requirement from uploading and try to find matching info on the website.
• Reduce amount of background workers. Some systems still have instability issues, this will dramatically reduce the crashes (hopefull to zero) on those systems.
• General optimization of bandwidth collector. Better performance at higher bandwidth rates.
• Remove some memory leaks when disabling and re-enabling statistics manually.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Asking to execute an unneeded update for WinPcap.
• Fix crash on client exit (networking stack)
• Linux: Fix incorrect counting of bandwidth (missing a few bytes)
• OS X Mavericks: Fix some font issues
• Linux: Fix empty process details on some systems
• Windows: Launching updater from client failed (updater.exe not found)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Windows: Client crash or disabling input twice (or putting your computer to sleep twice).
• OS X: Fix client crash on upgraded systems with older libpcap.
• Windows: Sometimes the updater.exe wasn't launched correctly. ("updater.exe not found")

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Applications were not uploading properly from certain systems with an older database structure or older sqlite libraries.
• Removed reference to broken pcap function which can cause the client to crash on system resumes.
• Client crashed when the Uptime Activity graph was open and you refreshed the account information and Premium was activated.

🎉 New Features

• Open Main Window on tray double click, if 'Pulse on double click' has been disabled.
• Added (currently static) application aliases for better naming applications.

📈 Improvements

• Account Wizard tab glitched on final login step.
• Set "Upload application info" to default enabled.
• Added button for a link to the Premium explanation on the 'Premium Only' tabs.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 'Premium Only' background disappeared when opening and closing the main window several times.
• Account tab header displayed twice on initial login.
• Update "Premium:" text value on "Refresh Status" button.

🎉 New Features

• Added support for dvorak and azerty keyboard layouts
• OS X Mavericks support

🐛 Bug Fixes

• A few remaining client random crash situations. All platforms should be stable as a rock now!
• Allow GeoIP database downloads on computers using a non-standard character set
• When using an upgraded client, applications were sometimes not properly uploaded to the website.
• On Windows tilde and apostrophe were sometimes mixed up. On OS X 9, tilde and caps lock were sometimes not counted.
• OS X: The client sometimes lost the network hook when coming out of sleep, or even crashed.
• WINDOWS: Sometimes the updater was not launched correctly (“updater.exe not found”)

📈 Improvements

• Interface and collection optimizations on memory and CPU, making the client use 40% less memory and be 20% faster.
• Only used applications are now sent to the website, minimizing clutter in your overviews.
• Interface updating has been tweaked so that the Geek Window updates are a lot smoother.
• Ignore dead center clicks in the mouse heat map. Some games lock the cursor in the center, ruining your mouse heat map.
• “Refresh Status” on the Account tab now also refreshes totals and ranks.
• When “Pulse on double click” is disabled, open the main window upon double clicks.
• A lot of tiny awesome stuff!

🎉 New Features

• Added colemak keyboard layout

📈 Improvements

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Network graph gaps and spikes
• Fix client crash on sleep when the network statistics are shut down too quickly (happens on fast computers).

🎉 New Features

• Export functionalities!
• Export your keyboard & mouse heat maps
• Export network bandwidth history per application, interface or originating country
• Export the uptime of your applications and computer restarts
• Use the buttons directly on the tabs, or use the advanced (premium) Export Wizard
• The advanced Export Wizard provides all possible data exports!
• Add a menu to the tray icon for quickly enabling and disabling statistics
• Add an option for auto pulsing on every hour
• Show exactly what your auto pulse settings do for you, in human terms
• Add window with all the available fun facts, which can be opened by clicking the fact icon or text
• Mac OSX: Show icon in Dock when the client is open, to make it easier to bring to focus

📈 Improvements

• Upgraded to Qt5 for better overall performance and memory management
• Multiple interface improvements to improve the user experience
• Multiple performance tweaks; lesser database usage, more caching
• Change tray icon to alert when the client is not logged in
• Document command line options in a --help menu
• Add command line option to disable network statistics from startup

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Check the downloaded GeoIP.dat for corruption and don't load it if it is corrupted
• Detect date changes when the interface is open, so that 'today', 'yesterday', etc. display the correct data when the day changes
• Network stats could cause the client to crash upon exiting, under heavy network load
• Properly calculate Current/Average/Maximum values on Realtime bandwidth tab

📈 Improvements

• Add a network counter monitor for Windows which catches network monitor time outs (on system sleep/hibernation) and restarts networking counting
• Don't restart networking on OSX on sleep/wake up and have the network monitor fix network counting. May be related to some OS X crashes when waking the system up.
• Show release notes of all clients from current version to latest version for a full overview of changes when skipping versions.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• The auto pulse on every hour on every day works now
• OS X / Linux: Fix transparency of geek window
