September 2024 - I've created a new snapshot of OA 18 with all updated scripts, database changes to date. It's found in the download area as previously.

August 2024 - I've removed the last several years (back to 2017) of update notes since they were just getting too long. I'm starting again for this 2024 school year in our schools. These update notes (on the left) are echoed from our schools. All schools display the update notes as seen on their main admin pages.

June 5 - The OA 18 download is now updated to fix some issues around using the new DBD MariaDB database driver.
