Posted by Alex on March 30, 2010 under Uncategorized | 35 Comments to Read

We are proud to announce the official release of Connectify v1.2!

In addition to numerous bug fixes, new features include:

  • Improved Ad Hoc Support: By popular demand, Ad Hoc now supports “Open” (no encryption) mode
  • Connectify Easy Setup Wizard: Connectify gets even easier to start with thanks to our new simple to use wizard walks you through your first setup of your network, and helps explain the process and options.
  • Improved User Interface: The Connectify window stays visible until you minimize it (so you can keep it up to watch devices connect, if you desire), and there are improved messages and tool tips throughout the program.
  • More Statistics: The tool tip on the Clients now reveal even more information: how many times the device has connected, the total time that they’ve been connected, and their MAC addresses.

We hope you enjoy it. From Connectify, you can click on the menu and select “Check for Updates,” or you can go straight to our homepage.
