Why upgrade from 4.5.x to 5.0.x?

[dpuryear]

I am trying to find a comparison table or something that explains the real benefits of upgrading to 5.0. I know there is "It's now the supported version", but what has REALLY changed?

More reports?
Better UI?
More features? What features?

Any help is appreciated!

Honest answer? It's not worth the headache - the differences (outside) are minimal. The engine has changed big time but you won't notice except in studio.
That's why: Wait for 5.1. Even the current beta is better than 5.0x. GA should be available in 4-8 weeks. Or so they say.

Here's a link to the page that describes the new (for 5.0) features:

Yeah, I just looked again and tend to agree. I don't see a real reason to upgrade. 5.1 does look interesting though.
