What's new with WhatPulse?

🎉 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

• Add a network counter monitor for Windows which catches network monitor time outs (on system sleep/hibernation) and restarts networking counting
• 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
• 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.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Properly colour a key inside the keyboard heat map when it is 0. Sometimes turned out red, previously.

• Fix displaying day changes in application uptime activity graph.
• 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

🎉 New Features

• Geek Window: Add realtime keys, clicks, download and upload per second variables called "Rates".
• Add support for Windows 8.1, Windows 2012R2 and OS X Yosemite (10.10).
• OS X: Client is now signed with a proper certificate (Gatekeeper likes us now).

📈 Improvements

• The Facebook login experience has been greatly enhanced.

• Reduce memory usage greatly on some computers where it used much memory.
• Database size: Delete mouse points older than 3 months from the heat map to save space and memory usage (option to keep them). This reduces the size of an average database with 80% and improves client performance.

🎉 New Features

• The client now differentiates between mouse buttons and a presentation of these stats has been added.
• You can now ignore specific network interfaces for network monitoring.

📈 Improvements

📈 Improvements

• Detect whether keyboard heat-map data has any NumPad keys in it and display the NumPad if needed (so hide it on a PC without a NumPad).

🐛 Bug Fixes
