What is OSCAR?

Post by sleepychar » Sat Jun 29, 2019 8:46 am

I haven't been on the board for awhile and back today I'm seeing references to OSCAR. I'm wondering what that is... would somebody explain it to me? Thanks in advance.

Sort of a new and improved Sleepyhead.

Thanks, Julie. I'll read up on it and possibly install it to see how it works.

Mark Watkins has abandoned SleepyHead, because it was open source, it has been forked. The fork is called OSCAR.

OSCAR was based on the v1.1.0 test release, not the more common v1.0.0. It is functional almost identical to v1.1.0, there are very few but fixes, mostly branding changes.

It is however being maintained, expect more bug fixes and features in the future.
