Quicker IP 2.11

What's New

Edit Services brings Service Order and Edit Visible Services together: reorder, rename, delete, add and hide services in one place, each with its port, such as en8, in a window you can drag taller. It and Edit Presets open with the service or preset you are on outlined

Range Scan accepts a subnet in one go: type 192.168.1.0/24 in Start IP, hit tab or enter and both fields fill in. Scan Results can list hostnames instead of names: right-click name column heading and choose Show Hostnames

Edit Locations has New Location and Switch buttons

Each Network Location keeps its own hidden and expanded services, and renaming a location keeps its preset and Restore rows

IPv4 Off and Join Subnet apply without a confirmation pop-up; Join Subnet finds a free address faster, stops if another adapter is already on that subnet and sends a notification once it has joined

The Packet Loss window is cleaner: stats in two columns, a blue chart with yellow spikes and red lost pings, and no confirmation pop-up to start, restart or reset. Ping results use the same two-column look, and the Info Panel's Ping shows lost pings in yellow and timeout when the gateway stops answering

Speed Test results show which adapter the test ran over

Grandmaster is now Clock Leader, as in Dante Controller, and names the Dante leader without a scan; a PTPv2 clock running alongside gets its own row

Fixes

Two services sharing a name each keep their own presets, hidden state, IPv4 Off restore and Network Info, and a preset applied, restored or saved on one no longer affects the other

Starting a LAN Scan or Range Scan from the menu now clears the old results first, like Rescan already did

Renew DHCP Lease now says so when no DHCP server answers, instead of reporting it renewed

The Subnet Hop tick clears when the address is changed outside Quicker IP, and a service renamed in System Settings while Quicker IP is closed keeps its preset, hidden and expanded state

Two services on one port each show their live speed and clock rows, scanning one no longer shows a hidden one, and Add Address refuses 169.254 and other addresses a port cannot use

The foot-of-menu row now reads Show N Inactive Adapters, and Info Panel item switches grey out while Show Info Panel is off

Hiding the service that carries your internet, such as Wi-Fi, no longer makes Speed Test, the Info Panel, Public IP or the menu bar act as if you are offline

Copying a Network Location no longer adds old unused adapters as red rows, and a switched-off service stays off in the copy

Notifications name the adapter with its port, such as Dante (en8), no longer report a name reset after a location switch, and no longer miss a Static adapter's cable going in or out or a DHCP address falling back to self-assigned

An address saved only on a disconnected adapter now gets a lighter note instead of a conflict warning

Quicker IP asks for your admin password once after this update, then goes back to working silently

Known Issues

None known

Quicker IP 2.10

What's New

Add Address puts a second address on a wired port, for switches carrying two subnets

A preset held by other adapters now shows their ports, such as en8, after its name; hover for the adapter names

Get a notification when two network services share a name, with a pointer to rename one

Fixes

Fixed a crash at launch on Macs with two network services sharing a name

A static address with no router now lands on the right port when two network services share a name

Quicker IP asks for your admin password once after this update, then goes back to working silently

Rescan clears the old device list while it runs, so every scan starts fresh

Speed Test reports a failure instead of a low number when the connection drops during the test

Switching Network Location keeps the same adapters expanded, even when the services carry different names

The audio clock notification now says Grandmaster Changed, matching the Network Info row

Known Issues

Two network services with the same name share one active preset and hide together until one of them is renamed

Restoring or applying a static address with no router refuses when two network services share a name, until one of them is renamed

Quicker IP 2.9

What's New

Updates no longer pop up on their own; an Update Available item waits under Settings

When Wi-Fi is off, its row says Wi-Fi Off and offers Turn Wi-Fi On

Sort scan results by clicking any column heading

Scan shows an address in red when two devices claim it, one row per claimant

Scan names Shure and Yamaha gear by their control port; a Yamaha console shows Device Control and Mixer Control as separate addresses

Scan names Windows PCs, and Range Scan is faster, finds devices that ignore ping and remembers the last ranges you typed

Scan finds lighting nodes and desks by Art-Net and sACN

Clock Sync warns when two devices both claim to be the audio clock

Get a notification when the audio clock leader changes

Fixes

Network Info now warns, greyed, when an unplugged static adapter would overlap a live subnet

Scan names no longer carry meaningless code strings, and CSV exports name protocols under a Type column

Clock rows no longer flicker when a second PTP domain shares the network

After login or waking from sleep, old DHCP addresses and Wi-Fi names no longer show while the network is read; static addresses stay greyed, and nothing can be changed until the first read is in

Applying a static or reserved address always checks that the address is free, and Save Current as Preset saves the address the adapter has right now

Join Subnet and Ping from an old Range Scan now warn that the network has changed

Switching Network Location in System Settings no longer fires a burst of Disconnected notifications

A Subnet Hop that is no longer in place no longer shows as active, and IPv4 Off refuses to run when the current settings cannot be read

IGMP and clock rows no longer show on an adapter with no working IP, and start fresh after sleep or a Location switch

Known Issues

Switching to a Network Location whose services have different names opens every adapter collapsed

A scan running on an adapter that is hidden or filtered out of the menu cannot be stopped until it finishes

Quicker IP 2.8

Join Subnet shows live progress while it finds a free address

Fixed the false "IP Already in Use" warnings on some networks

IGMP and clock rows in Network Info read more clearly

Grandmaster now shows the device serving the clock, by name

Subnet overlap warnings name the other adapter

Audio Clock now shows the older PTPv1 (legacy) clock on older systems

Clock readings recover by themselves after going quiet

Quicker IP 2.7

Scans now spot and name Sennheiser, Blackmagic and QLab devices

Each device in scan results lists every protocol it speaks

Scans and IP changes are noticeably faster

Scan results name the real maker, and mark devices hiding behind a randomised address

Scan results window now auto sizes columns and remembers your layout

Join Subnet shows the exact address it will take before you confirm

Get a notification if any of your adapter names are reset

Service Order highlights the service you came from and marks hidden services

Renaming services and locations, and deleting services, act on exactly the one you picked and no longer ask for Touch ID

Quicker IP asks for your admin password once after this update, then goes back to working silently

Fixed the Public IP line disappearing while the menu is open, and rows with nothing to report now sit empty instead of showing a dash

Network Info no longer disappears on inactive adapters

Quicker IP 2.6

Collapsed adapters now show their preset and IP on a second line (Turn the summary line off in Settings if you prefer plain rows)

Every adapter shows its interface name (en), lined up on the right

Long names and text now auto scroll when you hover on them

Drag presets into the order you want

More Info is now Network Info, and sits below Preset and Scan

Network Info adds IGMP Query, Audio Clock, Grandmaster and Clock Sync

Clear the error counters, and see how long each has been counting

Quicker IP warns you before putting an address on an adapter that already has one

General layout, wording and colour improvements across the menu

Quicker IP 2.5

Collapsed adapters now show their live IP address on the header row, so you can read every adapter's address without expanding anything

A header IP only appears when the adapter actually has a live address, so an IP on a collapsed row is always real; expand or hover an adapter to see a configured static that isn't live

Collapsed adapter headers now show the active preset name next to the Wi-Fi network name

The interface name is hidden while an adapter is collapsed and still appears in More Info and the hover menu

Public IP, IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS, More Info, Preset and Scan now line up on one column, in the menu and in the hover menus

Tighter, more even spacing in each adapter's section, with a single small break between the address rows and Preset and Scan

Icons now appear only on items that open something outside the menu, so the rest of the menu reads as one clean column; Settings keeps its gear

The Settings row now sizes itself to suit whether the info panel is showing

The speed test hover menu now shows the Loaded result, matching the results window

Updated the built-in manufacturer list so scan results name recently released hardware

Quicker IP 2.4.3

Closing and reopening the lid no longer fires false Disconnected / Connected notifications; alerts settle briefly after wake and only fire if the network actually changed

Applying a Manual IP or Subnet Hop no longer fires false Disconnected / Connected notifications while the adapter re-binds

Speed test results in the menu now show a dash like the results window when latency can't be measured

Fixed a cancelled speed test being able to leave one download stream briefly running in the background

Fixed a rare crash risk when a network command timed out mid-read

Quicker IP 2.4.2

Fixed the LAN scan missing Dante and other UDP-advertised devices: device names, Dante type badges and orange other-subnet rows now appear on a real Dante network

Fixed a rare crash on Macs left running for weeks (CPU meter tick counter overflow)

Fixed the menu-bar speed readout showing huge false spikes once an adapter passed 4 GB of traffic

Fixed false "Disconnected" / "Gateway" alerts after renaming an adapter, renewing DHCP, or applying a DHCP/Reserved preset on a slow network

Public IP no longer fires a burst of lookups on a blocked network, and won't briefly show the old network's IP after a switch

Packet Loss monitor now supports IPv6 targets instead of reporting 100% loss

Service Order no longer discards a drag you haven't applied yet when the menu refreshes in the background

Save Preset now warns before replacing an existing preset of the same name

Speed Test shows a dash instead of a misleading "0 ms" green ping when latency can't be measured

Various alert and display fixes (offline latency, location rename, deleted-preset restore point)

Fixed a rare hang if the network helper became unresponsive; the helper now also works on macOS 14.6 through 15.6

Menu opens faster: network locations now load in the background instead of briefly blocking the menu

Scan results window now clears when you clear results, and its Rescan button syncs when you switch adapters

Quicker IP 2.4.1

More Info details (IPv6, Wi-Fi signal, link stats) now update live while the menu's open

Fixed a settings window memory leak

Fixed a speed test ping/jitter glitch

Fixed rescan button in the scan results window
