StackHash Beta 4 improves the WinQual synchronization experience as this now happens completely in the background. You can keep using the client while the sync runs and use the new View -> Refresh (or Ctrl-R) to get the latest data. The status bar shows sync progress so you can see when events and cabs are completed for each product. We've also updated our service to use the raw ATOM feeds from WinQual to speed up the sync process.
It's now possible to add Visual Studio to the list of local debuggers and to select a default debugger to use when you hit F5. If you're using the Debugging Tools for Windows on a 64-bit machine StackHash will automatically select which WinDbg architecture to launch based on the architecture of the target minidump. You can also now override the default debugger by right-clicking a cab.

Proxy servers are now supported for both the client and service. For a fresh install click the ‘Proxy Settings’ link on the first page of the setup wizard. For existing installs you can find proxy server settings in Tools -> Client Options and Tools -> Service Options.

Other changes include:
- Hide products that are disabled for synchronization (on the View menu).
- Test your WinQual credentials (profile settings in Tools -> Service Options).
- Richer context menus throughout the client.
- Open the WinQual event list or event details pages (right-click a product or event).
- Improved service status window.
