For a tool I've been using for so long, the changes were generally unwarranted and didn't improve my workflow. I have hundreds of custom rules set that won't carry onto 5.1.0. Had to downgrade back to 4.

Using for quite some time and love it. Really the best so far.
Moving from v4 to v5, the visual sync is not working with subtitle opened.
