What's new with WhatPulse?

🎉 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

• Ignore network interface 'Virtual WiFi Miniport' on Windows. WinPcap crashes on those interfaces.

🐛 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

• Multiple interface improvements to improve the user experience
• Multiple performance tweaks; lesser database usage, more caching
• 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.
• Show release notes of all clients from current version to latest version for a full overview of changes when skipping versions.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix rendering of the hours on the application uptime activity graph
• 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

• 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).

• The Qt framework has been upgraded to Qt5 (from Qt4) and we've sent it to the gym. The Windows is now only 22MB (42% smaller) and the Mac client is now 34MB (45% smaller)
• 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
