It hasn’t had a major update in over two years…
I read some of the old threads on here and a number of people were commenting “oh it has a large developer base and community”, but obviously not that large if development has stopped.
When you have options of new development, do not consider OSC tool.
Update to your client as well. (Many job sites have still demands for OSC).
It set the way to ecommece programming. Zencart adapted the codes. Probably many other apps were built on oscommerce. Creloaded as the same.
Not phased out yet, but is relatively limited application.
Hi,
I had used OSC until about 2007, when I realised that there is absolutely no development going on. The situation doesn’t seem to have changed ever since.
One major problem we had was integration of modules. It was just one core system, with a patch after patch, which before long resulted on a spaghetti of code!
We’ve moved on ever since - there are better options available these days in the open-source e-Commerce space.

Technically, the latest release of OsC 3 was March 2009, so its only been 1 1/4 years since its last major update. But judging by that project’s github, they haven’t touched it since: http://github.com/osCommerce/oscommerce/commits/master
What makes no sense, howerever, is if you look at the github for OsC 2, they have have actually been working on that project: http://github.com/osCommerce/oscommerce2/commits/master
Go figure…
