The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This is just a quick release to get out a few additional changes
I've made, and fix a bug causing the version4 database to lose all your
channels--though I prefer to think of that as an incentive to switch to
the new database format. ;)  The big thing to note is that some of the
databases have changed names, so if you've switched to the
database/standard module, you'll need to rename files as follows:

nickgroup-access.sdb -> nick-access.sdb
nickgroup-ajoin.sdb  -> nick-autojoin.sdb
nickgroup-ignore.sdb -> memo-ignore.sdb
nickgroup-memo.sdb   -> memo.sdb

     I should also mention that I've finished everything on my personal
to-do list for 5.1, except for writing the technical design manual (sigh,
there go the next few months of my life); there are still a number of
items in the TODO file in the distribution, but considering also that
that file is rather old, I'm going to leave those for future developers
unless there's a particular desire for something to be included in 5.1.
In other words, if you want to see something in 5.1, now's the time to
ask!
