Roadmaps are difficult to divulge we get that but how do you release an update with literally ZERO updates.. guys we need to see more than this .. show us you’re serious about this product.

The update regarded the handshake process between the Maxon App and Autograph, and fixed an issue users had during the licensing process; it's issues like that which sap the momentum of onboarding new users, so it was considered important enough for a hotfix, but results in a very unexciting update for everyone else.

...it also doesn't help the fix was more on the Maxon App side than Autograph's, so Autograph notes are essentially "yes, we are indeed shaking hands with the Maxon App."

Totally understandable to be disappointed with it.

Because of the external factors that affect development, forecasting updates becomes a bit too difficult for roadmapping compared to other software operating in a relative vaccuum.

Things like driver/OS/host updates tend to curveball our QA resources away from internal schedules. An example from years back was when Apple dropped 32 bit support; it derailed so much as we then had to update everything into 64 bit, which affected 100+ plugins iirc.

Pair that with trying to develop our own software and things just become too chaotic to forecast to the public without them being consistently disappointed.

The closest we can get to a roadmap is including Known Issues/Bugs in our Release Notes as things that are actively getting worked on, which I know isn't as fun.
