AutoHotkey v2 aims to improve the usability and convenience of the language and command set by sacrificing backward compatibility. As such, scripts written for v1 generally will not work without changes on v2. The syntax is overall more consistent, with much fewer quirks and traps, and many other improvements have been made.
For extensive details about the differences between v1 and v2, refer to Changes from v1.1 to v2.0.
v2.0.0 was released on 2022-12-20.
Requirements: Windows 7 and later are supported.
v2.0-beta.4 and later can be installed together with v1.1, allowing scripts written for either version to work with minimal fuss. For details, see Installation and Launcher in the documentation.
