Look what I (as well as all of us who Pulse) just got in my email
It's been a very long time coming, but you can now download the first
public beta (ever) of WhatPulse, version 1.5!
There have been a lot of changes since the last 1.4 release, but I'll
try to give you a small list with headliners:
- Pulse Profiles
First, you had accounts, and then you have accounts with profiles.
Profiles are basically ways to separate your different computers. To
read more about pulse profiles, review
http://whatpulse.org/pulse<wbr>-profiles/
- WhatPulseD
In the 1.4 versions, communications with the server went through the
HTTP protocol. In 1.5, all communications go through a new protocol,
that whatpulsed uses. WhatPulseD is more stable, faster, and can handle
way more load then the old way of pulsing.
- Proxy authentication
Some proxy servers require authentication. Previous WhatPulse versions
did not support proxy authentication. 1.5 does.
- Mouse Distance support
In addition to key counting and click counting, WhatPulse now also
supports tracking how far you've moved your mouse.
- Automatic updates checker
WhatPulse now checks every week or every month (or never) for updates
with the server.
- Local XML stats file
Next to the XML file on the server, 1.5 has the option to generate a
local XML file that you can use for local programs to grab statistics.
- Interface revamp
Most dialogs have been revamped to have better usability, and just to
look better.
This list is a small preview of a much bigger list; download the beta to
discover the rest of the changes!
============================
Well that sucked. After I updated, I had to make a profile to login even though I already had an account.
