Similar -ish in that features still work in the same way, but the IDE/GUI is different & some things are in different places, but it shouldn't take long to learn.
I'm still using 4.2.5 myself at the minute as well, though I have both installed. Marian didn't want to start using 5.x for ALLD game until the official public version has been released, so I'm just using 5.x for messing around for now.
