When you do upgrade, please make sure you pulse your statistics before upgrading. This new version includes stronger database integrity checks, which might cause it to logout the first time 2.1 starts. After this first time, the client will make sure your database stays safe and strong!
As usual, you can find 2.1 on our download page. You can also find a summary of the changes right here:
New!
Per application keyboard/mouse statistics
WinPcap 4.1.3 for Windows 8 support
The login procedure has been simplified to be a breeze. You can add computers from the wizard and it auto detects your computer name.
New updater for automatic updates to make updating easier
An option to run WhatPulse as Administrator (Windows), to catch input from elevated applications
Fixed!
Database backups. This fixes startup crashes and data loss
Random client crashes
Client not counting input stats after hibernations
Linux crash when pf_ring (network) was not available
Windows lag every 5 minutes
Tons of other little things!
Improved!
Network monitoring performance (less CPU)
Time period selector for per country network stats
Windows XP support (input and network stats)
Require SSL libraries on Linux, otherwise account settings cannot be saved
Linux: Set up network capabilities automatically instead of having to do it manually
Log to ‘app.log’ inside the settings directory so you can see what’s going on
Tons of other little things!
Note: If you are getting a startup error on Windows, please remove the directory %LOCALAPPDATA%WhatPulse and try again. It means your database is not integer, coming from the old client.
