Wiim Changelog and Roadmap

[sweetchaos]

Here's a list of useful links for Wiim products, their changelogs and upcoming roadmap, since Wiim keeps this information across several sources.

Software for Mobile (called Wiim Home):
- Apple IOS Store. Click on 'version history' to see full changelog. This method of accessing the changelog appears (to me) the only easy way to get a full list of changes.
- Android Play Store. Scroll down until you see “What's New”. Doesnt show full changelog on the website, unless you have Android phone (in which case, the full changelog should be visible to your mobile device, once you view the app from the Google Play Store, I believe).
- Forum. I'm guessing this forum thread is a few days behind the Apple/Android store changelog. Doesn’t show full changelog on this forum, but only a few last versions.

Firmware for Hardware:
- Wiim Mini.
- Wiim Amp.
- Wiim Pro.
- Wiim Pro Plus.
- Wiim Ultra.

Upcoming Roadmap for Hardware:
- Wiim Mini Roadmap.
- WiiM Amp Roadmap.
- Wiim Pro and Pro Plus Roadmap.
- Wiim Ultra - N/A

Released:
- Wiim Ultra - Expected Crutchfield July 5. and Amazon.com

Unreleased/Upcoming Hardware:
- Wiim Amp Pro - expected Q3 2024

Thoughts:
- I've added a few notes to show how much variance there is for product changelogs/roadmap.
- Let me know if there's more useful links that I missed.
- Feel free to discuss this topic, as well.
