Will WHMCS and other billing solutions still work?

Why announce Pelican without a release?
It's not in the open source spirit to build an application in secret! Support and feedback from the community is crucial to OSS, it helps make our releases much better.
Are there any hostilities with the previous project?
Not at all. We also gave the previous team 2 months of advance notice.
Why move away to make your own project?
Difference of visions, directions, and opinions.
Couldn't these changes be part of Pterodactyl?
If they could, they would. But they can't, so they shan't.
