Sorry, We don't have that version yet.
@vimark Thank you for reply! Please tell, is BPv5 a completely new hardware, or its actually based on Bus Pirate v3 and is fully compatible with it by its' bootloader/firmware ? Just need to clarify...
@vimark second question, i'm curious if you are going to switch to the bootloader/firmware from "Bus Pirate Community Firmware" project ( https://github.com/BusPirate/Bus_Pirate ) as official
@mikebdp2 From hardware point of view its completely new. Sorry, but I can't comment much on the firmware side as I only do hardware.
The community firmware project has gotten pretty advanced and has a LOT of fixes and cleanups of the original BusPirate firmware. Dangerous Prototypes would be pretty silly not to leverage their advances in any "theoretical" new BusPirate hardware.
@vimark I fully support @kallisti5 point of view. Please improve your collaboration with the community
@ian Hope you could check this thread above, and this one also - https://github.com/BusPirate/Bus_Pirate/issues/98
I should also mention that the community firmware would love to work with DP if needed.. but someone from DP needs to collaborate.
also, looking at this it doesn't seem DP is interested at the moment in the community firmware and all of it's fixes and improvements:

Hey Mike,
We're really working on it. I'm stuck behind the Chinese firewall and its difficult to explain the extent to which the internet doesn't work. This is the first email I've received on this chain, I don't know of there are others. Half the time github access is blocked here.
I'm actually moving back to Amsterdam starting in September and we have a bunch of stuff ready to roll out. For example we managed to get buspirate.com back from the spammers that took over after hack a day and have setup a site there with continuous development integration for all versions of the bus pirate (instantly compiling the latest git commits and packaging them into releases). We plan to make this open source too to help other projects focus more on coding and less on tedious release management.
I've already reworked v3/4/5 code base with about two dozen fixes. I just need to be where the internet works to start posting about it.
V5 is a minor tweak, but v NG1 is a complete remake, and NG2 is probably the ultimate tool we can make for cheap with modern chips.
Cheers,
Ian

Sjaak and I have reviewed and have a private branch to merge in eventually. We like many of the changes, but there's a lot of stuff that we want to do differently based on our experience with the compilers and code base.
Cheers,
Ian

@DangerousPrototypes Hi Ian, hope your team could review our big achievements at this "Community Firmware" repository - https://github.com/BusPirate/Bus_Pirate , and somehow merge the codebases
No worries, that's all fine. We have been stuck with silence from DP for a few years now, so we really don't know what to expect.
The https://github.com/BusPirate/Bus_Pirate source repository is really in good shape thanks to @agatti The code has been cleaned up, updated to the most recent MPLab X, and had a huge number of bug fixes (and new features) introduced.
@vimark I can't find any mention of " Bus Pirate v5.0 " at DangerousPrototypes website ( no new results at http://dangerousprototypes.com/blog/category/bus-pirate/ ). Where could I read more about Bus Pirate v5.0 ? And is it a completely new hardware, or its actually based on Bus Pirate v3 and should be called Bus Pirate v3.9 or v3.10 not to confuse the people?
