- Less Chatty Startup: Have slimmed down the startup log entries
- Stop timer updates: Wimoweh now stops trying to update itself whilst the machine is in the process of waking
New in Wimoweh 1.1.3 Beta (Aug 21, 2014)

- Network service availability: WImoweh will check the local network for various network services (currently, ssh, afp, smb, airplay, xbmc, workstation, homesharing and music) and if the host and service is selected will stay awake as long as the service is available on that host. This is useful if you’re streaming / moving data to and from hosts on your network.
