What's new

v1.3 [Mar 31, 2012]
New and worthy!
There's no need to specify survey borders any longer: they are calculated automatically based on sampling points and their positions on the map
NetSpot ignores country settings and scans all available wireless frequencies: 5GHz SSID's are no longer omitted, slightly longer scanning in every sampling point
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Dev Preview releases compatibility
Updates, enhancements and improvements
Asynchronous updates of the displayed map layers (sampling points, markers, labels)
Support for larger area maps and surveys with high numbers of located wireless networks (100+), no freezing when loading such projects
Corner values are now recalculated only once and the algorithm works faster
Corrected calculation canceling, prevents freezing
White scaling rulers and brightened markers on them
NetSpot now differentiates an incorrect AP name and the name of a 802.1x encryption profile, this prevents app crashing in rare cases
Improved UNDO in drawing mode
Improved triangulation algorithm: fixes freezing on large (outdoor) surveys when sampling points are REALLY CLOSE to each other (less than a meter)
Overlay scrolls
Updated list of Wi-Fi hardware developers: better vendor matching during decoding of BSSIDs
Green circles now appear immediately after the first sampling points are placed on the map: helps choose a better place for the next sample
Fixes
No way to create a new zone while scanning
Possible error that could lead to NetSpot crashing due to calling inexistent method
Drawing mode minor errors when switching tools
Now NetSpot doesn't forget to offer saving of current project if user opens another existing project
Minor UI changes and cosmetics
Fixed a few memory leaks
Fit to view zooming mode fixes
Some issues fixed when switching between scanning modes (Resume/Stop)
