Dasher

Development

Dasher v6 development documentation has moved to the developer handbook.

  • Architecture overview — one engine, many frontends, the C API contract, and two integration paths (C API shared library or direct C++ source compilation).
  • Build guides — step-by-step build instructions for DasherCore and every platform frontend.
  • Contributing — how to open PRs, the Definition of Done, and CI gates.
  • Feature status matrix — what each platform supports, with a v5 baseline comparison.

Integrating DasherCore into your own app

DasherCore exposes a small, flat C API through dasher.h, documented in docs/C_API.md. You can integrate it in two ways:

  1. Pre-built shared library (recommended) — download dasher.dll / libdasher.so / libdasher.dylib plus the Data/ directory from DasherCore Releases and link against the C API.
  2. Compile the C++ source directly — pull DasherCore into your build and call either the C API or the internal C++ classes.

See the architecture page for details.

Stable release (v5)

The stable v5 codebase lives at dasher-project/dasher. For production use, download Dasher 5.0.
