Windows 7 has issues with version 1.6 and below, it is possible for WhatPulse to suddenly stop counting. (usually under high load of the computer). We’re glad to say that these problems have been solved in 1.7 and recommend everyone using Windows 7 to upgrade.

Windows 7 support is not the only change, here’s a small list:

– New communication protocol

WhatPulse now communicates with the website over HTTP, which means a lot less hassle to get it working from a secured network. (proxies understand the pulses)

– Portable mode

There is now a portable mode setting available in the preferences window. Enabling this will allow WhatPulse to run from a USB disk or other portable media. This makes it easy to take WhatPulse with you.

– Key Frequencies image generator.

It is now possible to send your key frequencies to the website and have it create an image out of it. An example can be found here: http://bit.ly/cXF7dL. The images will be presented on the website better in the near future.

– Others

There’s a new setup wizard.

Several bugfixes with large distance increases seen when using RDP.

Several other bugfixes: http://bit.ly/bDh7Dz

– Keyboard diagram visualizing usage frequencies of keys

– Completely reworked Setup dialog: You can now choose from your existing computers, create a new computer, or create a new user account the first time WhatPulse starts up

– Added option to log out of the current account

– Switched to new HTTP-based server communication

– Support HTTP proxies for server communication

– ”Daemon mode”: in the group ”[Settings]”, add an entry ”DaemonMode=true” (without the quotes) to ~/.config/whatpulse/settings.conf to start WhatPulse without a tray icon

– The GeekWindow doesn’t have a taskbar entry any longer

– Reworked access to mouse and keyboard events, should now work with bluetooth mice and possibly other exotic hardware (Lacking any of the hardware in question, I can’t test this myself. Please report any problems you encounter.)

If you find any bugs or have any feature requests for the Linux client, please visit http://redmine.whatpulse.org/projects/show/linux

The entire client was redesigned for the most part, which eliminates the bugs and some feature requests we had in 0.9. Here’s a very small overview of major changes:

– Memory leak 0.9 gone.

– WhatPulse gets it input from the kernel.

– 32bit and 64bit release.

– We won’t interrupt your shutdown process anymore.

0.95 has been added to the download page and setup instructions can be found on: http://jmrk.whatpulse.org/ (you need to do something besides just download the client and run it, it will not work if you don’t follow the instructions!)
