We are pleased to announce the release of the Omnify Hotspot 2.0. This new release adds the ability to change between profiles and also improves various areas based on your feedback. Please send your comments and suggestions to us, we like to read and use them!

Profiles

Easily create a new profile in Wi-Fi hotspot and repeater with its own settings and connected devices. Whether you are at home, on a business trip, or visiting friends, you can switch between them at any time without the need to remember their names and passwords. You can also use it to create a guest network in seconds.

Firewall

Within Wi-Fi hotspot and repeater, the internet and network access settings will no longer force the changes on existing devices. You'll need to press Ctrl to override the settings for existing devices. Furthermore, you can now whitelist or blacklist a URL for the advertisement blocker by creating a domains_whitelist and domains_blacklist file in the installation directory and adding the URL on a new line.

Wi-Fi hotspot and repeater starting time

Restarting a hotspot or repeater is no longer waited for if there are no devices connected.

Performance

You should see a significantly reduced latency and CPU usage thanks to a lot of optimizations.

What else?

Windows 7 compatibility has been improved and the issues that you've reported have all been fixed.

Performance

You should see an improved network throughput performance and reduced latency and CPU usage thanks to a lot of additional optimizations.

DHCP server

Omnify Hotspot is now using its own built-in DHCP server instead of using Windows to give out IP addresses. This allows greater control over the assigned IP addresses to ensure that devices keep the same IP address after a reconnect.

Wi-Fi hotspot and repeater starting time

The used network adapters are now remembered to greatly speed up starting a hotspot or repeater after the application starts. In our testing, starting a hotspot or repeater is now typically done within 5 seconds, whereas it could previously take as much as 30 seconds. It's still necessary to detect the correct network adapters after you've changed a network adapter.

What else?

We've added a warning when you're connected to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network and the issues that you've reported have all been fixed.

Today, we're thrilled to announce the release of Driver Fusion 7.1. This update contains several quality and reliability improvements. Please try out these improvements share your feedback with us, we like to read and use them!

Responsiveness

In the previous update we've mentioned that switching between features can take some time to render if there's a lot of content loaded, such as the results from driver cleaner. In this update, we've greatly reduced the time and memory usage required to switch between the features. Furthermore, loading driver entries is now completed in almost half of the original time for large drivers.

History

Viewing the details of an operation now includes a summary on top to make it easier for you to see and remember what you've selected.

Device monitor

The graphs' axis from top to bottom will no longer always start at zero to make it easier to see small differences. The labels are also more compact to make it possible to draw slightly larger graphs.

Driver cleaner

Driver Fusion 7.0

5 March 2019

We're pleased to announce the release of Driver Fusion 7.0. With this release, we've made it possible to switch between features without having to start over. Please send your comments and suggestions to us, we like to read and use them!

Usability

Driver Fusion will now remember the state of your opened features. For example, you no longer have to recheck for issues in health check after you've switched to device control and can immediately return to the results you were looking at. Switching between features can take some time to render if there's a lot of content loaded, such as the results from driver cleaner.

Scheduler

The scheduler will no longer show a fixed popup at the bottom right corner but instead use an automatically closing Windows notification. On Windows 10, this notification will not be shown if you've enabled Focus Assist. Futhermore, you can change in the settings which issues you want the scheduler to check for.

Health check

You can uncheck any of the three issue categories again before you're checking for issues.

Device control

The time required to load devices is greatly reduced and is now completed within a second on most systems. Other features that use devices, such as health check and driver cleaner, also benefit from this change.

Driver cleaner

The cleanable drivers received new entries to be up-to-date with their latest versions. Searching for entries also take less time, which is especially noticeable for drivers with many possible entries. In addition, we've added support for cleaning UWP apps on Windows 10.

Driver backup

We've improved support for backing up Universal Windows drivers, which enable developers to create a single driver package that runs across multiple different device types, from embedded systems to tablets and desktop PCs.

High-DPI scaling improvements

Support for per-monitor scaling has been added and we've increased the rendered resolution of most icons.

.NET Framework

Starting with this release, you need to have at least .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed. Almost everyone will have it installed through Windows Update or otherwise, but if not, then our installer can automatically download and install it for you.

What else?

We've added support for more devices in device monitor and the issues that you've reported have all been fixed.
