This version fixes a bug that causes a crash if the live access points change (eg a rescan) in a certain way when you are editing an AP. So that’s good to have.
I spend a lot of time improving the automatic Click Wall stuff. It didn’t work at my local Starbucks. Now after about 25 times there(!) it finally does. They were doing all kinds of crazy stuff – redirecting using JavaScript, using cookies, using two forms, etc. I made this improvement in a general way so it helps clicking through at other APs too.
Edit:
This version is now live in Google Play (and other markets).
After that those careful beta releases a packaging problem caused the final version of 1.7.2 to crash at startup.
Now fixed in Google Play. Sooo sorry about that.
EDIT: this version is now released – its what you get from the Google Play.
The last version (1.7.1) fixed problems in 1.7 but this has fixes for problems
that are in the wild.
They are:
– Handles WPS (only seen in Android 3.x)
– Formatting fix (later character of rule partly truncated)
– Fixed crash
– Would sometimes show multiple APs connected in Remembered tab
So give it a try:

There was a problem in version 1.7. Good thing we did it as a beta.
A small coding mistake caused a big problem – it would not let you make a Wi-Fi entry. Now fixed.

New in version 1.5.4 (change 20)…
* Reacts better when you enable/disable wifi outside the app
* Launches Email better
* Fixed bug when deleting driveby’s (faster also)
* Paid: can now start minimized
Now available on the Android (and other) markets.
Wi-Fi Ruler now has a thing that will “Say OK to clickwall”.
Some access points throw up a webpage that requires you to click on OK, etc in order to get internet access.
You have to promise you won’t use the access for evil and/or illegal purposes.
This new thing in ‘Ruler tries to automate that.
Of course, we haven’t tried it with all clickwalls.
So we expect it will be a few problems.
Please leave comments here and not in the Market.
Thanks.
If its working, let us know too
