Welcome to the first beta of Wootility v5 which we've been hard at work at for some time.

As a whole there is not a massive difference in the feature set going from v4 to v5. Our core goal has been to implement the new design from Pola (our UI/UX designer), giving us more room to implement the big new features we're planning. That being said, there has been significant improvements to the user experience, some quality of life improvements and a few new features. We're currently at the stage where our focus is on stability, so we've temporarily paused the majority of new features, with the goal being to squash as many issues as possible to ensure you have the smoothest experience possible!

Wootility v5 was initially launched as an Alpha for 80HE first deliveries. Now we're inviting all users to try out this beta, find sneaky issues and share any feedback you might have! The ideal place to share bugs/feedback is on our Discord server, there is a thread in the #wootility_updates channel for this 😁

This major update was made possible by Khang, Pola, Diogo and me (Simon)!
