The email that announced the release of Beta 1.


Hello WhatPulse User,


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-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!


Since this is a public beta, we have set up a Bug and Feature Request
tracker on http://whatpulse.org/tracker/ - Currently, the accounts on
this tracker are separate from the main WhatPulse accounts, but this
will be integrated down the road. So feel free to sign up an account and
report anything you notice! To just view the reports that are already in
there, you can also login with username 'guest' and your email address.

The website has been adjusted to fit the new features of WhatPulse 1.5,
so please report anything that looks off on the website as well!

Be sure to pulse and uninstall the old WhatPulse client if you decide to
give 1.5 a go. Remember to create a profile through your control center
if you are an existing user!

I've downloaded and am running it.. nothing to report so far. Works along just fine with the other three (Dolphin, Marmot & Bewes)

Same here. Using Standard. For some reason it didn't cause any lag while playing FEAR Combat. Good thing though. :)
