What's Running 2.2 Released

What's Running 2.2 was released a few days ago. You can download it from download.com.

New features:
  • New processes and ip-connections (just started) get a green flash and ending processes and ip-connections get a red flash.
  • The sorting behaviour has now changed so that the sorting stays sorted when new items turn up.
  • Comparison of snapshots - create a snapshot and compare with snapshot already saved on file.
  • Now the default process view is an hierarchical view based on the parent relationship.
  • The process icon is displayed in the list for easier recognition of processes.
  • Now you can move your installed What's Running catalogue to anywhere and runit from there, useful if you want to run it from USB etc.
...and of course there are numerous bug fixes and small usability improvements...

Let me know what you think about it!

I'm also amazed at the fact that that 68.000 downloads of What's Running has been made only from download.com sofar.

The release has been long in the making, I haven't had much time to work on it lately, mainly due to the fact that my day job company (Hotsip) was bought by a giant company, Oracle... Many late nights and a 9 hour time difference to HQ makes work life tougher. The new suburbian office makes for longer days as well. Suburbia is not fun.

..and on a personal note, me and my wife are about to become parents real soon now (actually a few days ago according to the schedule). But as you all know, releases are often a bit late!
