Version 5 is a redesign of Dancer to a more modular structure as you might know from the Apache webserver. Projected release date is June 2003. At this time we are looking for developers. Version 5 won't be ready for users for a while.
Dancer 5 will consist of a slim core to which modules can plug into. This allows for runtime loadable modules of mIRC script support, botnets, complete interaction with IRC services, and more.
A branch called BRANCH_5-DEV has been created in CVS space. The
head branch will continue to be used for development on version 4 until 5 is
ready for release.
