OK, you nosey few...just some points:
It seems to not have changed a lot, the overall feeling is a bit faster than 4.x. They fixed some annoying bugs and made few changes for more intuitive handling.
A new USB-only dongle, that stores all of your emagic-keys for EXS etc. is introduced and will hopefully be supported by other manufacturers in the future.
Audioediting is still clumsy, but improved sound quality (native).
BUT a real big step into audio-automation - even with a mouse, you have quite good control over the faders in the Trackmixer. You can individually define Automation-Status for each Track.
You can copy Automation-Data in the Arrange, apply curves on fades and other goodies. (Automation is independent from the environment - no more channel-splitters..phew)
So, no worries to learn on 4.x and later switch to 5.0 - there's nothing different to 4.x - it has just become more complex...
...just add the new functions to your keycommands and have even more fun!
This is spoken quite generally and I'm still digging for new features I did not discover yet.
So long, Niko

Where's the update?
I would strongly recommend to stay with 4.81 at this point - 5.0 (update-release) has still some automation bugs - well it's .0 and sooooo delightful already - smooth fades, but stll abit dangerous, when unintentionally clicking in the volume or pan automation - resulting in a "hyperdraw" and minor anomalies like amnesia or is it just my alzheimer???
Performance has really done a step forward!
We're all chomping at the bit waiting for your report!!!!! Gary
