WhatPulse 2.6b1



The entire website communication protocol has been overhauled and needs to be tested on a bigger (then my 4 computers) scale. It's more robust as it includes a handshake procedure (instead of just pushing the pulse and assume everything went OK) and it's more secure by using SSL certificates to verify the website identity.



Besides the communication, a NumPad has been added to the keyboard heat-map, per application keyboard heat-map, "todays value" of keys, clicks and bandwidth for in the Geek Window, and lots more. For all changes, check the release notes below.



One other thing I'd like to highlight: there's now an option in the settings tab to "include beta versions" in the update check. This means the regular update process will be able to update beta versions to the final releases and final releases can be upgraded to the next beta version. So no need to install these beta versions with the installer.



Why is this version named 2.5-1147 (beta) ?

You might notice that this version is named 2.5-1147 (beta) inside the client, instead of 2.6b1. This is done this way to facilitate the "include beta versions" update checker. From now on, the betas for the next version will be labeled with a high number and (beta) next to the current final release. I hope this won't prove to be confusing, but we'll see how it works out!



Please go ahead and see how this works for you, I'm looking forward to get feedback, thanks!
