Fixes:

• 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

Improvements:

• Network monitoring performance (less CPU)

• Mouse heat map now displays in proper screen ratio.
• The tray icon menu has been changed to be more useful.
• Allow applications to be ignored for input as well.
• Allow network traffic measurements without the third-party libraries (WinPcap, libpcap). NOTE: Without these libraries, the client will not pulse network traffic to the website.
• Windows: Added a crash reporter which will report any issues back to us and notify you of the problem.
• Apple OS X: Use the built-in notification center, if available.
• Fixed auto pulsing with keys; it pulsed the current keys, not the set value.
• Fixed IPv6 network traffic measurements.
• Fixed keyboard heat map counting of navigation keys (arrows, home, page up, etc.) on some computers.
• General Interface and Performance optimisations, 2.2 uses less memory/CPU and the interface has a better experience.
• Improve database backups to be less intrusive (disk I/O) and be a lot faster.

• Using the Crash Reporter, we were able to collect a good deal of information about issues that some people have. Using this information, we've made a lot of (20+) improvements that are related to the stability of the client. Anyone having stability issues is encouraged to update!
• Windows updater fix ("file not found" error, run updater.exe manually if you have this issue
• Fix Mac OS X support for 10.7 and lower
• Fix Mac OS X updater "improperly signed" messages (update manually if you have this issue
• Hide "Re-upload applications" on Linux (not supported)

New:

• Added support for dvorak and azerty keyboard layouts
• OS X Mavericks support

Fixed:

• A few remaining client random crash situations. All platforms should be stable as a rock now!
• Allow GeoIP database downloads on computers using a non-standard character set
• When using an upgraded client, applications were sometimes not properly uploaded to the website.
• On Windows tilde and apostrophe were sometimes mixed up. On OS X 9, tilde and caps lock were sometimes not counted.
• OS X: The client sometimes lost the network hook when coming out of sleep, or even crashed.
• Windows: Sometimes the updater was not launched correctly (“updater.exe not found”)

Improved:

• Interface and collection optimizations on memory and CPU, making the client use 40% less memory and be 20% faster.
• Only used applications are now sent to the website, minimizing clutter in your overviews.
• Interface updating has been tweaked so that the Geek Window updates are a lot smoother.
• Ignore dead center clicks in the mouse heat map. Some games lock the cursor in the center, ruining your mouse heat map.

• Change tray icon to alert when the client is not logged in
• Document command line options in a --help menu
• Add command line option to disable network statistics from startup
• Don't restart networking on OS X on sleep/wake up and have the network monitor fix network counting. May be related to some OS X crashes when waking the system up.
• Show release notes of all clients from current version to latest version for a full overview of changes when skipping versions.

Fixed:

• Properly colour a key inside the keyboard heat map when it is 0. Sometimes turned out red, previously.
• Fix rendering of the hours on the application uptime activity graph
• Fix displaying day changes in application uptime activity graph.
• Check the downloaded GeoIP.dat for corruption and don't load it if it is corrupted
• Detect date changes when the interface is open, so that 'today', 'yesterday', etc. display the correct data when the day changes
• Network stats could cause the client to crash upon exiting, under heavy network load
• Properly calculate Current/Average/Maximum values on Realtime bandwidth tab

New:

• Reduce memory usage greatly on some computers where it used much memory
• Database size: Delete mouse points older than 3 months from the heat map to save space and memory usage (option to keep them). This reduces the size of an average database with 80% and improves client performance

• Replace fact variables with 'no data' when there's no data instead of showing the variables names themselves

New:

• The client now differentiates between mouse buttons and a presentation of these stats has been added.
• You can now ignore specific network interfaces for network monitoring.

Improved:

• The client will no longer reset the local database when logging out, so local stats can be kept through a re-login.
• OS X: Detect black theme and auto adjust black W icon to a white W icon.

Fixed:

• OS X: Fix computer model and architecture detection on Yosemite.
