A Fresh Start

[wasted]

As you all noticed by now, the previous news post was a while ago, and the project has slept since then.

Untill 4 weeks ago, it woke up.

There's a new spark of energy in the development team, and this is our first release. New guy on the block is called bobL.

We are happy to announce a new version of the Windows client (1.6), the first public Mac OS X client (1.1) and a new version of the website.

Here's a small list of the major features added:

Website:
- Overhaul of visual aspects.
- ICEPAY donation system. (phone, sms, ideal, wiretransfer, etc)
- Referral system; Gather more statistics by referring your friends.
- Knowledge Base to fit the style of the main website.

Windows: 1.6
- Optimized the data inside WhatPulse.wpw to minimize corruption.
- Store WhatPulse.wpw inside a Windows assigned place. (fixes problems with Vista)
- Brand new login window. (for existing accounts and registering accounts)
- Ability to determine the place of stats inside the geek window. (will be made easier)
- Redirected server communication through port 80 again.
- A lot of bugfixes.

'Pulse profiles' have been renamed to 'Computers' to make more sense.

Expect a better version release system!

With the release of 1.6, all previous versions before 1.5 (1.4.x) will be disabled in 4 weeks. Please upgrade before 12 may, otherwise you will not be able to pulse anymore!

A word on a Linux version: I have started work on a Linux client myself, and will probaly release an alpha or beta in a few months. (for real this time. )
