I believe at version 1.0, recently released, Aghermann can be squarely considered feature-complete.

To reach such a milestone and be satisfied with it, I sought to somehow deal with the challenge of automatic scoring, which proved an utterly ungratifying problem. Essentially, there is no solution that one could present as by any measure complete; but, instead, I pass the task to the knowledgeable user, by means of letting them write their own algorithm, in Lua, to their heart's content.

I noticed, with a couple of previous releases, some non-Debian soul diligently downloading each tarball from France the next day after I released it on sourceforge.net.

One feature in the latest 0.7.1 being popping up ChangeLog once on each upgrade, I half-seriously considered to write some greeting in French right next to it, specially for him or her.

I'd like to thank you for using Aghermann, French or otherwise. And as I am sure every one of you has some one-off quirk in their sleep-experiment setup which I can only blindly guess at, please don't hesitate to make it known to me. I'd be more than happy to listen and acommodate.

Otherwise, some ideas are already taking shape towards a yet another metric of sleep efficiency—all to get rid of scores for the great good. Stay tuned.
