The first public [[beta version|beta]] of AutoHotkey was released on November 10, 2003<ref>[http://www.autohotkey.com/changelog/2004.htm AutoHotkey Changelog for Years 2003-2004]</ref> after author Chris Mallett's proposal to integrate [[hotkey]] support into [[AutoIt]] v2 failed to generate response from the AutoIt community.<ref>[http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20176#20176 Author Chris Mallett's post on the AutoHotkey Forums]</ref><ref>[http://paperlined.org/apps/autohotkey/autoit_and_autohotkey.html An AutoIt / AutoHotkey comparison]</ref> So technically Autohotkey is a fork of AutoIt at v.3.1. Later, AutoIt v3 switched from [[GPL]] to [[closed source]] because of "other projects repeatedly taking AutoIt code" and "setting themselves up as competitors."<ref>[http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7204 Licensing Opinions - AutoIt Forums]</ref> Development of AutoHotkey now continue separate from AutoIt, while most scripts are compatible.
AutoHotkey has even been used by doctors in the radiology world <ref>[http://www.scarnet.org/index.cfm?id=5522 Alkasab 2008 SIIM]</ref>.
The most recent update of the AutoHotkey software was on September 25, 2009.<ref>[http://www.autohotkey.com/ Main Page with v1.0.48.05 Release Accouncement]</ref>.
